Nora's AdventurEscape

not gonna bury the lede, currently [b]nora's adventurescape[/b] is [b]nora's adventure bug-scape[/b], a broken piece of shit. and while it pretends to be the [b]collector's edition[/b], offering all 15 days' worth of content (except stuff you have to skip to continue, see below) and an actual ending, [b]wallpapers and the soundrack are missing[/b]. it starts like every hallmark movie ever. successful lady (ice skater here) moves to small town for a change, to re-invent herself and save a building. everybody's way too nice but also lazy and incompetent (they must be game developers on the side), nora's the only person capable of doing anything. which is mostly playing delivery woman, made all the more tedious with all the slow walking animations from house to house in the cutscenes. and what's with all the hugging? the 'overworld' is like all those mobile games like [b]gardenscapes[/b], surely there's a construction kit of some kind available, but [b]without any mobile shenanigans[/b]...

Instant refund! Too many bugs to collect achievements for this broken ass game.

More dialogue than game play, sooooooooo boring.

I am enjoying playing this game, sort of a hidden object/escape room mix with a simple yet enjoyable story line. I have hit a problem where it won't let me finish the game and not sure why, the only thing I can think is I skipped a couple of the tasks but if this is the problem, surely there shouldn't be a skip button if it means you cannot complete the game. I hate to not recommend a game but unless they fix the problem there is not much point buying the game and as far as I can see there is no follow up by the developers to comments on the discussions page so not much chance of getting this fixed. This has now been fixed and the game completed, a nice game if a little slow but will definitely play again.
