Protective services and little kids...not a very 'game-y' topic
I'm going to start right off and say that Alawar and Big Fish appear to have created a game that is close to flawless in fundamentals. No wait time between scenes, teleporting maps, puzzles and story lines that involve logic and not just guesswork. Good voice overs, cutscenes, graphics and dialogue. I've just done the trial, but also good to get out of snowy fairytale kingdoms and into modern times. But...but...but...
But (feel free to skip, it's why I'm not continuing and it is a "me" thing): I'm not comfortable with the premise of this game, and I won't be going past the trial. I don't like games or movies or any entertainer where children are being hunted or abused, and it bothers me more for some reason when it takes place in a somewhat contemporary setting. Some people are creeped out by rats, some by snakes...I guess this is my bug-a-bear. Some of you are probably easing your eyebrows....and yeah, I know, I know. Most of these stories have some kind of evil v good element. I guess, for me, a line was crossed in this one, as with a creepy school one a few games back. Maybe that last DK with the abusive lovers made me a little more aware of the storyline. End of rant.
I may have it wrong, there may be a spin in the story and it isn't what I think. I'll never know. But the game itself seems to tick all the boxes in terms of a good game. And kudos to the devs for originality, too. So 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️.
