Wonderful game. The visual style might not be the best, but the story quickly manages to get your attention. Well crafted characters.
IMO the dialogues are superb. I didn't get bored a single time and they really manage to shape character personalities in a matter of seconds.
Puzzles are very good, although in part a little circumstantial.
If Graphics/GUIs/Controls would be redone (it mostly uses AGS' standard built in's) this could easily be a great commercial game.
This is a very good game. The graphics are sometimes crude, sometimes average and sometimes very cute and detailed (especially the parkscene). The soundtrack is generally well chosen and fits the atmosphere. Speaking of, the atmosphere is definitely the strongest part of this game. The storyline is original and interesting, there are several locations to visit and there are many puzzles that can be solved in which order you like. This is definitely necessary because they are difficult but also rewarding. On some occasions I needed help because they were a bit too convoluted but generally they were all logic.
This game takes quite some time to complete because of the puzzles and exciting story. If you want to play a full length game with fantastic immersion and clever old-school puzzles this is the game for you.
Highly recommended!
Thanks for the comments everyone! I've published a walkthrough for the game at http://thefarcornersoftheworld.weebly.com/fcotw1-walkthrough.html, so if you are stuck, that's the place to go.
Great game, everyone should play it. :)
Thoroughly immersive and enjoyable. The not-so-great-graphics didn't interfere with the gameplay at all, and the charcters and story were great. Can't wait for the next episode.
