At first glance the best-behaved little girl in the world, she executes all her chores in a diligent manner, no matter how unfair they may be. Her innocent, imperturbable way of carrying out the orders of others has something both tragic and eerie about it. Any angry thoughts, any childlike disobedience is buried deep beneath a seemingly impenetrable surface of sweetness. But how long will these feelings stay hidden? And where do the friendly little gnomes come from that paint over everything unpleasant in Lilli's vicinity with a pleasant pink color? Are they real or just a product of her subconscious? Expand

    Sadly, Harvey’s New Eyes stumbles with occasional poor voice acting, and story and character work that doesn’t quite live up to the standard of the puzzles and visuals. The darker nature of the plot is a good contrast to the vibrant visual style, but the narrative is not as compelling as in other examples of the genre. That being said, Harvey’s New Eyes is likely to be an enjoyable experience for any point and click fan who picks it up.

The game controls are simple, and it does the job, no complaints. I'm not a fan of the sound-part: some scenes have no background music, some scenes have some annoying short loop. I went without background music. Puzzles are not too hard, and it is rare that you try to combine every item with each other desperately: the solutions are logical.

    There is a central idea in the second half of the game, that you can activate certain "powers". I don't think that this aspect was used to its full potential, in the current form I don't even see its point. The powers are acquired just in time always, and knowing when to use them, and switching between them is always obvious.

    My main complaint is about the length and pace of the game: it starts somewhat slow, then it introduces the main story abruptly... and then just when it starts getting really enjoyable, it suddenly ends.
    I don't think it worth full price. But it is sold at a discount very often - I recommend picking this up. Even if it's not perfect, I found it genuinely fun, and don't mind spending a couple of hours finishing it.
