    A great first effort with a few rough edges which are vastly improved in The Travellers Sight but still well worth a play. I particularly enjoyed the bonus content retro filter and visual novel modes. All of the puzzles made sense, although I ran into some issues with pixel hunting (went back and forth several times before realising that the castle had two doors next to each other and that the bush was interactable)…

    While the backgrounds are great and the acting is fine, the actual game itself falls short of its potential. The point and click puzzles are entirely unrelated to the plot and often nonsensical. The sci-fi elements in the game COULD be used well in a point and click game to make puzzles more interesting and flesh out the world, but they're sorely underutilized. Using them is less of a logical step you realize you…
