The Tale of Doris and the Dragon is an episodic, point-and-click adventure game series featuring an elderly lady named Doris who finds herself in Purgatory after passing away on earth.
The game employs a classic point-and-click interface that emphasizes puzzle solving and a quirky narrative. Players can simply "point and click" to explore the world and interact with characters and objects. The minimalist interface is straightforward, requiring players to figure out which items to use on which parts of the environment to progress. While some players report getting "stuck" occasionally, most reviewers describe the puzzles as relatively clear and easy to solve, save for a more challenging music-based puzzle.
Solving puzzles is a core part of the gameplay experience. Reviewers widely praise the puzzles as clever, witty, and humorous, seamlessly integrating with the game's overall tone. Several players highlight the "music box puzzle" involving a bone/fossil xylophone as a standout moment. A few reviewers felt some puzzles were a bit too obscure or illogical, but the general consensus is that the puzzles strike a good balance between challenge and accessibility.
The game's exploration and interaction mechanics are straightforward yet effective. Players must examine objects, converse with characters, and combine inventory items to advance the story. Some reviewers noted it's not always clear when a character has new dialogue to share, but overall the interface and interactions are intuitive.
The first episode clocks in at around 30-60 minutes for most players. While some wished for a longer experience, the majority felt the length was appropriate given the price point, with the puzzles and narrative progressing at a steady, well-balanced pace without feeling rushed or drawn out.
