How does this game work?
The visual aesthetic of the game is heavily influenced by fairy tale concepts, with fantastical and mystical creatures hiding in every nook and cranny. However, because it touches on certain more mature subjects, it does not qualify as a game for young children. It is based on the concept of "what if fairy tales were structured in a real kingdom," like many other works.
Nevertheless, it is undoubtedly not a gloomy or horrifying tale, as the majority of it takes place in vividly colored settings with numerous minute details. Even though they are 2D models, the character designs are extremely detailed. Since everyone is voice acted in their entirety, the choice of attire and accessories greatly sells each character's uniqueness.
Even while they are not explicitly displayed or given center stage, there are a few 3D models strewn throughout the game to enhance its flavor. For instance, you maintain a first-person perspective and your 3D arms are seen completing the action in locations where your character interacts with objects or takes a potion.
Although this Hidden Object game plays like a classic, it has a unique presentation. In each room and location you visit, you must search for a number of items and choose how or with what you can use them. You may be given the choice to examine some areas closely in some circumstances.
In certain situations, you are directed to a more detailed screen where you must search through a jumble of other objects to uncover a list of specific items. You might occasionally go back to a pile of debris you've already sorted through, but at a different point in the narrative since you're now seeking for a different object. As a result, you should remember where these scenarios happen in case you need to return.
The primary character's line of work is crucial to both the gameplay and the story. You are neither a total unknown or a stranger in this world. Especially when it comes to transformation, you are an expert in the alchemical arts and have a solution for every problem. The game's diary is used at this point.
You may, of course, utilize the journal, just like in many other games, to get a little push in the right direction if you've been away from the game for too long and can't remember what you were doing. The diary, however, serves a much greater use because it is here that your character records the recipes for the many alchemical inventions.
Play the game for nothing at all!
