    This game has a few sizable issues that hold it back from greatness. But for genre fans, Trüberbrook succeeds thanks to its sci-fi plot, quirky voice-acted characters, and exceptional aesthetics.

    Trüberbrook's cast of colorful characters and its presentation are truly a delight, which help to elevate the proceedings. The only problem I had on the gameplay side was, quite frankly, a rather big one. The title's inventory system could use a bit of a tune-up to make it fully come into its own. If you can overlook these problems, Trüberbrook offers up fun moments all the way through.

    Trüberbrook only manages to surprise in its visual section, but does not innovate in mechanics or story. Its bugs do not help either.

    While Trüberbrook suffers from a handful of technical issues and some occasionally sluggish gameplay, the story, atmosphere, and dry humour make for a largely enjoyable experience. However, if you don’t already love point-and-clicks, this one won’t change your mind.

    I wanted to enjoy Truberbrook but mediocre frustrating gameplay can only be helped so much by amazing art. I can only recommend it to people who absolutely love point and click games and don't mind being bogged down by major gameplay issues.

However there are problems with controls and movement. Puzzles are sometimes just guesswork and the game is too short although it contains really long parts where you're just watching the movie. It looks like it was rushed a bit. Maybe their next project will be a better game… Full Review »

If you are from Germany you will regocnice some voices e.g. from the famos host Jan Böhmern, Dirk von Lowtzow (Tocotronic) and the actor Nora Tschirner. All actors speak also the english version.The soundtrack reminds me on Leonard Cohen and the modal jazz from Miles Davis.

    I needed approx. 5 hours to complete the game at 100%. There is no extra after beating the game. The puzzles are not challenging, but a child or young adult might enjoy them. Unfortuinaly I experience two bugs. Both forced me to restart the game.

    The story tries to be a mix of physics and history, but loses itself in not being able to make up its mind and not going into either of them in more detail. The main topics are quantum theroes and Germanic tribes, which are not explained in detail at any point, but remain mere empty words.    … Full Review »
