The story is engaging and filled with action, even during quieter moments, set in a dangerous world that leaves players eager for more, as this is only the first part. While the point-and-click mechanics are enjoyable, the narrative becomes more linear after the challenging house area, leading to missed opportunities for deeper exploration of character choices and plot paths. Overall, the charming and spooky tale, complemented by beautiful art and animation, presents a fun adventure, though the writing could benefit from greater clarity and depth.
“It's a charming spooky story with colorful illustrations.”
“The writing is nice, and the plot started with how they introduce Thomas and his wreck of a home life and meeting his witch aunt is downright enjoyable.”
“What I like the most though is the adventure this story brings you to.”
“Sadly, the story is unfinished.”
“While I can hardly complain, if this were a more expensive title, I saw so many possibilities that this game 'could' have taken at many points in the story.”
“There are a few little quest games, but nothing as difficult as the house area and afterwards, it suddenly feels like the game becomes 'linear' in nature.”
