Pros:
Nice graphics
Beautiful setting
Great music
Ok story
A big amount of logical puzzles with great variety
Great hint system nicely implemented in the game.
Great value for money. I bought the game for like 3 euros from steam and spent around 35 hours with it.
Cons:
Most of the puzzles are cryptic and very difficult to solve without using the hint system. Also they have the same concept. You are operating devices - mini games that you need to understand how they work and what is the goal. There is a lot of trial and error involved in the procedure of solving them. Also some of them are very tedious to solve having to do a lot of legwork even if you know what to do.
The voice acting is lacking.
There is a lot of backtracking in the game and running around the academy is not fun.
Viewing angles are disorienting and its hard to find your way until you familiarize with academy.
The game was crashing a lot. I used the steam version. In my 35 hours of playtime i had more than 15 crashes. Also at a specific puzzle it kept crashing constantly (i think it was 5 times in a row). Also, game crashed during the ending credits.
Verdict: A decent adventure that i would recommend to players who dont mind using the in game hint system and like hard logic puzzles.

Awful game, I totally disagree with the reviewer
First of all, I think this game deserves no more than 1.5 stars.
The only good things in it, are the graphics and the music. That’s it.
The game is very long, but not for the good reasons. It has too many puzzles, and the last hour of playing is just “find the right room and do the puzzle”. The plot is uninteresting at all in my opinion.
It’s a shame that this considered a good adventure game. I think it’s just an awful fantasy game.
