Now Lydia is about to start her first day as a student of magic at Dragonvale and looks forward to being reunited with her friend. But when she arrives, she finds the academy deserted except for one odd character: a wolf who claims to be a dragon. Where is everybody? What's going on here? Can this wolf really be trusted? These are just some of the questions you must answer as you explore the school. Keepsake, the first game from the Canadian Wicked Studios, is a lovely 3D point and click adventure in the tradition of Syberia. And I mean "lovely" literally: the first thing to strike you is the beauty of the environments. The castle is ornate with knotwork motifs and colour themes, making exploration a pleasure. There isn't a lot of animation, but what there is is well done; the water effect was...

When the character stops walking -- the footsteps continue. I guess because otherwise, the game would be perfect. In spite of the footsteps this is a perfect game those of us who like fantasy, castles, dragons, magic, adventuresome girls, clever puzzles with hints and the incredible scenes that will have you on your knees wondering why you can't go to magic school. Young Lydia comes to Dragonvale Academy to study magic with her closest friend, Cynthia. Upon her arrival she finds the school deserted and so begins her quest to find her friend and discover what happened. She has a companion to talk to, Zac, a wolf who was locked up and therefore escaped the disappearance. Zac, is somewhat suspicious -- claiming to be originally a...

Unfortunately, the dialog and voice "acting" were terrible. The game play was extremely linear although you could travel to most places at any time. This combination often resulted in puzzles you could not solve and spending huge amounts of time going back to areas you have already been. Although the graphics were well done, you often had to travel though 6 or more scenes just to get from one place to another. The logic puzzles were well done, but the riddle-type puzzles were so obscure that they made no sense, even with the hints! The same is true for the order in which you had to solve puzzles. Without the buit in hint system, you would have no idea what needed to be done next, especially in the towers. Finally, the plot and character development were just awful. Within the first 2 hours you knew all the characters, their background and even new how the... Read more |
