Crikey! I’m, Well, I’m Shocked!

BASED ON COMPLETED GAME

I had to look twice to see who made this game, because it seemed impossible to me that the people who gave us The Exiled Prince could produced anything so dark, so macabre, so, well, violent.

Obviously, this is a game that no rat-o-phobe would want to see – and believe me you REALLY don’t, but it is also not for anyone who prefers their battles with evil to be somewhat low key.

The darkness in this game is intense, the creepiness is everywhere, and the battle is fierce and grim to the bitter end.

For all that, it is an exceedingly beautiful game, well conceived, the story well told, the puzzles are all interesting without being too challenging, and there are plenty of interactive HOs.

I really enjoyed it. I was completely caught up in the story, even this second time around.

My one beef is the map. Very badly put together, it is inaccurate, enough to have you heading off in the entirely wrong direction.

Worse, it is supposed to tell you where there are “areas of interest” but that symbol shows up only if you have an active HO there.

Any key, puzzle etc that you could be using does not register. So it’s around the map getting “There is nothing to do here right now” throughout the entire game.

There was also a fair bit of back and forth with one item too.

But the game is fun, has some surprises in store for you, and is, as you’d expect, visually marvellous

I recommend this game!
