    The art in this is gorgeous, and I really like the entire atmosphere of this game. Unfortunately, I feel that this game suffers from the same design issues as the old point and click adventures did. There's way too much reliance on trying random things and seeing what works. If there was some type of basic mechanic that we could learn and use as a guide to figure out the rest of the game,The art in this is gorgeous, and I really like the entire atmosphere of this game. Unfortunately, I feel that this game suffers from the same design issues as the old point and click adventures did. There's way too much reliance on trying random things and seeing what works. If there was some type of basic mechanic that we could learn and use as a guide to figure out the rest of the game, that would help a lot. Instead, each section presents new objects and you basically have to disregard everything you just learned and start experimenting all over again. I like experimenting with mechanics and figuring things out, but that process feels so random and scatterbrained in this game. If you are someone that enjoys the old school point and click adventures, pick this up. Otherwise, this game may lead to frustration. Expand

    You might enjoy the time that you spend with Violett, but you should approach it with modest expectations and a good deal of patience.

    Abstruse and sometimes outright broken in its design elements, Violett commits the worst crime for an adventure game: it confronts the player with poorly designed puzzles that require little logic and lots of luck and clueless clicking in order to be solved.

    Despite the lack of a storyline (apart from the opening cinematic), Violett does reasonably well in keeping itself interesting.
