First of all only because I got this game for free doesnt mean that my Review nor my opinion will be bought.
Darkarta a broken hearts Quest Collectors Edition comes with the main Game, a bonus chapter, some extras & an integrated comic book. HOWEVER the Soundtrack is not included and is available on steam for purchase for more then the base game.

Darkarta a broken hearts Quest Collectors Edition comes with the main Game, a bonus chapter, some extras & an integrated comic book. HOWEVER the Soundtrack is not included and is available on steam for purchase for more then the base game.
Before we begin here is a little information about who made this game:
TuttFrutti Studios which have been "working" their way up from Greenlight with promising game keys and other Methods finally made it into the Steam Store. Looking besides that I thought why is a game this beautiful in need of such shady methods? Well let me tell you.
Before we begin with the actual bad parts lets appreciate the beautiful Art this game is giving you. The colours are vibrant and beautiful, which in my eyes is always a huge plus. Another Plus was the Fast Travel Option. However this is all of the positive that I can give you.
The Game itself is badly translated and the Story is awfully explained. I can see what this developer was trying to go for, but the way it was put together, is not only making any sense but also seems like different kinds of people just threw in their own style of translating and then left it at that.
You would also think that before publishing the game someone must off read the translation before releasing it. Yet I keep finding not just awfully translated sentences but also horribly spelled wrong words or even double words such as "the The Guardian".
Some people might not be bothered by this and trust me if it would be just a one time thing I wouldnt mind, but it was not just a one time thing. Infact it was almost on every page including the additonal comic book.
The Hidden Objects Scenes are either way so unseeable that you need to search for hours or so easy that you are done within a couple of seconds. Whilst I played other HOP Games which were challenging in that part, this did not seem the case here.
The Characters in this Game were also rather confusing as most of them had similiar names and didnt look that much different from each other, which half of the time gave me trouble understanding what even was going on and thanks to the not well explained / translated diary it was even harder to see what was going on. Some of the Characters are just one hit wonders and you never ever see them again either.
The Voice acting was acceptable but nothing too special.
All in all this Game was overhyped and is very unpolished, I believe that TuttiFrutti Interactive should off worked harder on the game rather on doing shady advertising buisness.
Another thing that annoys me and irritates me at the same time is that this is called the Collectors Edition and the game itself is 6€. Yet the Soundtrack is not included and you will have to buy it for an additional 10€ off steam. Generally Soundtracks are included into Collectors Editions and if they are available for separate purchase on Steam they are never more expensive then the base game. I am not sure what this is all about.
One more thing I'd like to mention is that the Developer has been paying people to give out good reviews for this Game which I beg you please do not look at.
Do I recommend this Game? No.… Expand
