  • Engaging story with well-developed characters and numerous references and Easter eggs from classic adventure games.
  • Developer is passionate, responsive, and dedicated, creating a solid and enjoyable experience despite being a small team effort.
  • Some minor bugs and polish issues persist, including inconsistent art styles and interface quirks like lack of a full screen mode.

  • Combat is limited, repetitive, and somewhat disconnected from RPG character progression, which may not satisfy all players.
  • story
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is widely praised for its engaging, nostalgic adventure that evokes classic Quest for Glory and other Sierra games, featuring intriguing characters and a rich, in-depth questline. Fans appreciate its unique narrative that stands on its own while delivering numerous references and easter eggs, making it a must-play for genre enthusiasts. However, some note occasional lack of hints for missed objectives, requiring careful exploration.

    • “The story is actually one of the strongest points of the game. I liked the characters.”
    • “The quests are plentiful, in-depth, and comprehensive.”
    • “With a new and extremely intriguing story, slightly changed mechanics, but still the same beloved old world full of surprises and unusual characters.”
    • “In short, this game is for old-head Quest for Glory lovers, but do not expect Quest for Glory because this is its own adventure.”
    • “Nothmere has a journal and quests that are much appreciated for helping you keep track of things, but when you're missing something there's often very little to no hints as to what you missed or what you need to do.”
    • “As far as the game itself goes, I'm 3 hours in, it feels like a lost Quest for Glory, much more than previous attempts (even the great Quest for Infamy).”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is a classic point-and-click adventure with familiar mechanics, enhanced by a fresh and intriguing story. It retains the beloved old-world charm, featuring surprises and unique characters.

    • “With a new and extremely intriguing story, slightly changed mechanics, but still the same beloved old world full of surprises and unusual characters.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding to level 100 is mostly unnecessary, as there are few stat checks and little incentive to focus heavily on combat beyond raising stats.

    • “I grinded my character to level 100 and can confirm, outside of raising stats there's no real reason to focus so much on combat, and it has been revealed there really aren't that many stat checks in the game anyways so grinding is largely unnecessary.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game’s atmosphere evokes a strong sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of the simple, fun, and immersive feel of classic 1990s Amiga 500 games.

    • “Absolutely loved playing this game, it takes me back to playing games on my Amiga 500 in the 1990s when games were simpler, fun, and had bags of atmosphere which no other game has.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor is well-received, featuring numerous clever easter eggs and notably funny quests like the "quill of complaints," which players find especially amusing.

    • “There are loads of easter eggs and I found the Quill of Complaints quest hilarious.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is limited but decent, complementing the varied animation styles without standing out strongly.

  • graphics
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics feature multiple distinct art styles that are animated but lack a cohesive visual harmony, leading to a somewhat disjointed overall appearance.

    • “These are animated, but there are at least three different art styles that don't really mesh well together.”
