❤ Violations of the rules
I used the word "unique" when describing the storytelling method.
I made a generalization about the game world blending 19th-century steampunk and magic, rather than demonstrating how/why.
I mentioned that the game builds upon the previous game "PRICE", which is a detail a reader could figure out from the Steam tags.
❤ Story and Characters
The story is inspired by classic Grimm's Fairy Tales, following the journey of a magician named Valjean and his mechanical puppet Cosette as they encounter four animals in a fairy tale town on their way to Bremen.
Players praised the well-developed characters, such as the optimistic yet unreliable Valjean and the seemingly competent Cosette, as they forge an emotional bond over the course of the adventure.
Reviewers highlighted the game's ability to evoke both humor and heartbreak, creating engaging narrative moments that left a lasting impression.
❤ Gameplay
The puzzle-solving mechanics require players to not only use tools but also carefully select the appropriate characters to assist with tasks, adding an extra layer of strategy.
Reviewers appreciated the inclusion of multiple solutions for certain puzzles, allowing them to approach challenges in different ways and explore the game world more thoroughly.
The side-missions that increase the player's intimacy with favorite characters were noted as a nice addition, encouraging further engagement with the game's cast.
❤ Audio
The original soundtrack, composed of 3 songs and over 10 background music tracks, was praised for its quality and contribution to the overall atmosphere.
Reviewers enjoyed the voice acting performances, with several voice artists accompanying the player throughout the journey and contributing to the theme song.
