From the creators of the award winning games “The Whispered World” and “Deponia” comes this extraordinary game Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes.
The game features a classic point-and-click adventure format, blending dark humor with surreal, sometimes unsettling themes.
Players freely explore the interconnected game world, interacting with objects and characters to gather information, initiate conversations, and collect items for puzzle-solving. The game encourages careful exploration, as players may uncover hidden interactions or alternative solutions.
Puzzle-solving is a core mechanic, with challenges ranging from straightforward item combinations to more complex, lateral-thinking puzzles. Many puzzles have unconventional or unexpected solutions, leading to humorous or unsettling outcomes. While some puzzles may seem unintuitive, the game generally provides enough contextual clues to guide players towards a solution.
The game introduces "Censor-Gnomes", which paint over any disturbing or upsetting content with a pleasant, pink color. This mechanic adds an extra layer of surrealism, as players must sometimes find ways to bypass the Censor-Gnomes to uncover the true nature of the game's events.
The narrative features multiple possible endings, determined by the player's choices and actions. These choices can have significant impacts on the story's outcome, enhancing the game's replayability and encouraging players to explore alternative paths.
Players often praise the game's unique, darkly comedic tone and the challenge of its puzzles. The ability to subvert player expectations and deliver unexpected twists is a common highlight. However, some players have noted that certain puzzles can be overly obscure or rely on unconventional logic, which may frustrate some.
