I’m not part of the team, just a random adventure gamer. I’m just surprised nobody is talking about this game.

First of all, it looks gorgeous, at least in my opinion. The animations are top notch, everything is very polished, the music, SFX and dubbing are awesome.

But, most of all, it really feels like a Sierra game with a Lucasarts interface - while having it’s one personality.

The puzzles are complicated but fair, there are brutal deaths, even though the game warn us every time there is a danger, there are big maps to explore, a fantasy universe which can be as cute as it is creepy…

I also love the characters and the narration.

I played a lot of indie old school adventure games, but this one really feels special to me.

It’s honestly one of the best adventure game I played this year.

I highly recommend it.

I actually learned about that game coincidentally less than 24 hours ago. 
So I would assume that it’s not that well-known, at least I haven’t seen it on any release watch lists and such.

It does look interesting, whether it’s a good idea to copy LucasArts verb buttons to that extent can be debated, but at least it should be something that fans of the traditional design can appreciate.

I just checked it out, thanks to your post, and it looks great indeed.

I agree with you.
I’m usually a bit suspicious with these games. I feel like a lot of them are trying to be Lucasarts games without succeeding.
This one really has its own identity, at least in my opinion.
It’s interesting because it both feels like a Sierra and a Lucasarts game, it’s like the two companies had a child, and it really works, at least for me.
The game even can be dark at times.
The only thing I’m not a big fan of are the dialogs in chapter 1, they’re a bit long.
It gets a lot better after that, though.

I’ve been looking into this game and it seems very very interesting to me. Can anybody tell me more about the puzzle design and if the puzzles are good and how is finding the objects in the environment? because I don’t want to play a hidden objects game. Maybe I’ve been spoiled but I love a hotspot marker now.

You can pick between Classic Mode and Modern Mode. I strongly recommend picking Modern Mode ; it makes hidden items easier to spot.
I thought the puzzles were great overall, hard but fair like the good old Lucasart games, except maybe two or three which I thought weren’t clear enough.
None of them were insultingly easy, far from it. Some of them were very smart and felt unique to me.
