Dark Parables: Curse of Briar Rose Collector's Edition comes with the Main Story which is around 3 and a half hours long and a Bonus ChapterDark Parables: Curse of Briar Rose Collector's Edition comes with the Main Story which is around 3 and a half hours long and a Bonus Chapter which gives you another half to an hour. It also comes with Extras, such as Wallpapers, Music, Mini Games and Concept Art. For the first time in a Point & Click / HO Game I actually saw that there was a bit a backstory to read within the Game.
This is the First dark Parables Game in the Parables Series and I must say although the resolution was unchangeable and there was no Steam Overlay, I did really enjoy it.
It reminded me a bit of Midnight Mysteries just with a far less Grimm Art Style. The Voice Acting was surprisingly good compared to other HO / Point & Click Games and the atmosphere was gorgeous!
It seems that this game just like Midnight Mysteries actually do depend on playing them inline unlike Grimm Legends where you can just play them backwards Numbered if you so wanted to.
Similiar to Midnight Mysteries this Game also comes with a Strategy Guide that helps you via Pictures and writing to find your way if you lost it or help you on Puzzles if you get stuck on them. Which is to me personally a huge plus so I dont need to alt+tab out and search for half an hour on the web.
The Hidden Objects were very well hidden and sometimes difficult to spot especially to its low native resolution. However once you get used to it, you should be able to find your way around just fine.
All in all this Game is a great & Atmospheric Point & Click / HO Game that I can recommend to anybody that loves a good story or those Kind of Games. However due to the fact that this Game is rather short with hardly any Options in the Settings Menu I recommend getting it on Sale as its base price seems a bit to high.… Expand
