  • story
    84 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in this game is generally considered weak and clichéd, often described as basic and lacking depth, with many reviewers noting inconsistencies and illogical elements. While some players appreciated the artwork and hidden object puzzles, they felt the narrative was forgettable and poorly executed, with issues like rushed pacing and subpar voice acting. Overall, the game seems to prioritize gameplay mechanics over a compelling storyline, making it less appealing for those seeking a strong narrative experience.

    • “The story is interesting and will keep you playing; I liked the fact that the puzzles are not repetitive and some of them are quite challenging.”
    • “The bonus chapter was a good addition and very well connected to the main story.”
    • “Great puzzle (9/10), beautiful art (8.2/10), and nice story (7.7/10).”
    • “The story is basic and the cut scenes are more crudely drawn compared to the beauty of the actual game portion.”
    • “The story is crude and the tone is very inconsistent.”
    • “The story is a little bit sketchy and under-developed, and the music could’ve been better.”
  • graphics
    49 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their beauty and detail, with many reviewers highlighting the artwork as a standout feature that enhances the overall experience. While some noted inconsistencies in art styles and minor technical issues, the visuals are generally considered to be on par with or better than similar titles in the genre. Overall, the game's graphics contribute positively to its atmosphere, despite some critiques regarding the story and gameplay mechanics.

    • “The graphics are beautifully detailed and the music creates a good atmosphere.”
    • “The art style is beautiful; it feels like it’s straight out of one of those children's fantasy books.”
    • “We can clearly see the amount of work put into the graphics and the hidden object scene design, but its plot never moves away from the tired formula of a heroine saving a family member from an unexplained evil wizard.”
    • “I'm not sure when the game was made or what it was originally for, but it has a bit of pillarboxing for some reason... perhaps just an aesthetic choice, not sure.”
    • “The artwork is fine as is the story, but it lacks a certain pizzazz.”
    • “It's just cheap to make it difficult because the artwork is fuzzy.”
  • music
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its pleasantness and ability to create a good atmosphere, particularly highlighting specific pieces like the guitar track. However, some users noted that the music can become repetitive and may not always fit the game's environment, leading to a disconcerting experience at times. Overall, while the music is enjoyable, it lacks variety and depth, with some players wishing for more ambient melodies.

    • “The music and graphics are pleasant.”
    • “The world is kind of pretty, the comic style cut scenes are attractive and the music is great; I especially liked the guitar piece.”
    • “The art is lovely, and I enjoyed the music and the feel of the game as a whole.”
    • “I don't know if this is something I only noticed because I turned the music way down or what, but it was pretty weird and disconcerting, especially since it didn't really fit with where I was in the game.”
    • “On the downside, the story is a little bit sketchy and under-developed, and music could’ve been better (a few ambient melodies – of which one is clearly broken – that are not related to the environment just won’t do).”
    • “Linear, quite easy, music is boring if not annoying; there is no voiceover even for the few arts that were needed.”
  • gameplay
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally well-received, offering a mix of classic and modern mechanics, though it is often described as short, typically ranging from 4.5 to 10 hours. While the hidden object scenes are straightforward and lack complexity, the game provides replayability due to its puzzle-solving elements. However, some players note that the experience can be hindered by a lack of direction and clunky mechanics typical of older titles.

    • “The gameplay is excellent, if short.”
    • “The game will give you anywhere from 5 to 10 hours of gameplay-- I played it for just under 8-- and it is replayable because you're not going to remember how you solved most of the puzzles tomorrow.”
    • “S:tga is a bit longer compared to other Specialbit games, and gameplay-wise it's less linear.”
    • “Being an older game, the mechanics are a bit clunky.”
    • “Hidden object mechanics are also simple - fairly static scenes to find objects, no scenes inside scenes, not many mechanics variations - might be good or bad depending on how you like them.”
    • “There's a lot of gameplay value, but the game is hugely let down by the lack of direction.”
  • stability
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is widely criticized for its numerous bugs, with players frequently experiencing issues that require restarts and hinder gameplay. Many users describe it as the most frustrating and unstable game they've encountered, often needing to click multiple times for actions to register. Overall, the stability of the game is a significant concern among players.

    • “The game runs smoothly without any major bugs or crashes.”
    • “I experienced very few glitches, making for a stable gameplay experience.”
    • “The stability of the game allowed me to fully immerse myself without interruptions.”
    • “This is by far the most buggy and frustrating game I have ever played.”
    • “Mega buggy... I have to click everywhere to register the click!”
    • “I have no idea how people are giving it good reviews, as it was extremely buggy for me.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is praised for its picturesque locations, charming creatures, and engaging puzzles, complemented by beautifully detailed graphics and an evocative musical score that enhances the overall experience.

    • “But nevertheless, it was an exciting and atmospheric adventure with picturesque locations, cute creatures, and lots of puzzles to solve.”
    • “The graphics are beautifully detailed and the music creates a good atmosphere.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unengaging, particularly criticizing repetitive minigames like the constellation puzzle, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. While the graphics are occasionally appealing, the lackluster story and uninspired puzzles contribute to a sense of monotony.

    • “I also found some of the minigames overly tedious and not very fun. For example, the constellation puzzle was okay after the first two, but having to do four or whatever was a bit much and killed the fun of the puzzle.”
    • “Nothing inherently wrong with it, but the story was sketchy, uninspired, and not very interesting. The graphics are okay to occasionally pretty, but the puzzles tend to be on the tedious side rather than the clever side.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by its charming and quirky elements, reminiscent of classic titles like Monkey Island, with moments that elicit laughter, particularly from amusing translation errors. While the visuals are appealing, some players felt the story lacked depth, giving it a somewhat rushed or procedural feel.

    • “This never reached the point of being irritating; rather, it was charming and humorous to me, like the random sorts of things you have to do in a Monkey Island game.”
    • “It made me laugh in some places with bad English (USA) translations (e.g., 'grope' in place of 'feel'), and the artwork provides some nice backgrounds and visuals.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers 5 to 10 hours of gameplay, with some players noting that while it is replayable due to the forgettable nature of puzzle solutions, the overall replay value is considered low.

    • “The game will give you anywhere from 5 to 10 hours of gameplay—I played it for just under 8—and it is replayable because you're not going to remember how you solved most of the puzzles tomorrow.”
    • “The replay value for the game is low.”
