About This Game

Familiar is an illustrated puzzle misadventure from Damsel Stone, following a witch's cat living on the island of Neverwarm. After a spell goes horribly wrong and all the inhabitants are turned into animals, there's only one hope of reversing the spell and bringing back normality and familiarity to the island of Neverwarm.

Explore an eccentric world where the weather is erratic, the stone has sentience, and the people have transmogrified. Use a combination of platforming, problem solving, potion drinking, and people pleasing in order to undo the disaster that has befallen them.

Familiar features an eclectic concoction of relaxing and atmospheric environments, tricky logic puzzles, challenging platforming sections, and gentle storytelling through dialogue with NPCs.

Finesse 2D platforming challenges found throughout the world
Drink potions to utilise different abilities and unlock different parts of the island
Get to know a fully-voiced cast of locals with a long list of predicaments
Examine and solve different logic puzzles, riddles, and scenarios
Go treasure hunting for missing ingredients needed to brew a reversion spell

I really wanted to like this game. It was rather fun, despite lack of polish and settings. The hand-drawn style, voiceovers, the siblings puzzle (i like this type of puzzles, but rarely see them in games) - enjoyed it a lot. But the final boss was the turning point for me. This fight is needlessly long and way too random - you can spend several phases simply watching boss regenerating health, because you were unlucky. Also, there is a chance to miss the wooden pole and ending in a falling loop. If you save the game before the boss fight and leave, you can't do the fight! The ingridients are labeled as added, but nothing happens! Re-entering the building or reloading the game does nothing. I hate this so much! Well, at least the music during the fight is nice and indicates the phases. That's quite cool. Some other issues:[list] [*] lack of settings (fullscreen mode, sound change etc.); [*] some dialogue lines are skippable, some are not; [*] the explanation for the music box puzzle is...
