    When all is said and done, Darkestville Castle adeptly invites the player to think outside the box. There’s a good story, great dialogue, and an interesting world to discover. On the downside, there’s no real choice involved, and it transitions into an experience where solving problems is a matter of clicking everything on-screen—no elaborate navigation necessary. However, if you enjoy Point and Click and clever humor, I don’t see a downside to this new adventure.

Darkestvilleville Castle puzzles are really difficult and it makes you think like a lot. If you don’t mind lazy animation, it plays exactly like a classic adventure videogame filled with a hilarious humor! I’d recommend it for both old-school gamers and newbies as they should learn what real adventure game should feel like!… Full Review »

    Charmingly weird and somehow exciting piece of point-and-click genre.
    Since adventure games of Golden Age are slowly coming back as    Charmingly weird and somehow exciting piece of point-and-click genre.
    Since adventure games of Golden Age are slowly coming back as remasters, that was quite a nice experience to check out this brand new indie title. Although, it lacks a lot in visuals and animation, still it definitely was made by true fans of adventure classics with a great care to narrative and characters. I’m pretty sure it would be fun for everyone who enjoyed e.g. Monkey Island series back then in the late 90s.    … Full Review »
