    Keyboard controls aren't redefinable.If you don't use wasd you're screwed.Don't buy this.Developers should learn to add such a simple,basic and absolutely necessary feature,in 2016
    sadly,this is not the only problem though...story is weak, humor is bad,puzzles are ridiculous ,interface is terrible and it's got bad controls overall(they should have kept the point and click interface)

    The first chapter was fine, the second was horrible, and the third is in the middle. The main problem is that It's more than a movie that a game, you play too little, but see lots of videos.
    PROS: have a good beginning + smooth controls
    CONS: too many videos and little playing + story is still too absurd

    Graham is back in full strength and brings us two to three hours of superb adventure fun. Witty moments appear along with moments that chime many inner strings. The result is a fantastic episode.

    Once Upon a Climb was short and sweet, with a heavy emphasis upon sweet. Short games aren’t always a bad thing, but Episode 3 leaves you feeling as though something is lacking.

    Once Upon a Climb is the new installment of a series that started big, stumbled in the second episode, and rose again in this third episode. A few puzzles, a lot of humour, some occasions for deeper thoughts, and excellent writing and dialogues. Good work, The Odd Gentlemen.
