Black Rainbow Mystery

Actually, my thumbs up should be taken as only slightly leaning towards the positive over the negative — say, 55-45. The game is a reasonably decent, old-school point-and-click puzzle adventure, but most players aren't likely to find the puzzles much of a challenge, to put it mildly. I tend to be easily flummoxed by puzzles and these were cake. Gameplay is very basic and it's all super linear. (Though to be honest, I didn't play the game on the highest difficulty setting, so they could be much more challenging there.) Mostly I think the game is going to be slammed with charges of racism, which won't be entirely unwarranted (however much the developers might not have intended it). You play a white blonde woman whose destiny is to save the world. All the black NPCs are portrayed as feather-and-loincloth wearing savages — even the ones who live in a city on a floating airborne island with magical technology (that for some reason only White Girl can use). So it's an okay puzzle-fest...

This would have been a reasonable, semi casual game, but the storyline and dialogue was ridiculous. Maybe if I was 11 or 12 I might have enjoyed it, with its silly 'Chosen One' stuff, but as an adult, I found it really mundane. The puzzles are ok, though some are a bit repetitive. The navigation was probably the trickiest part, particularly in the latter half as backtracking all the time is necessary. I can't recommend such a silly game and story. Sorry. However, I enjoyed 'Hotel' from this comapany and I have purchased 'Where Angels Cry', which promises to have a better storyline, so I think it's just this particular title which is a bit of a dud.

Fun adventure game, with new puzzles and 21 hidden skulls to find during your adventure. Three modes of adventure. Good story line, a couple of achievements to get, but not overwhelming. I recommend this game.

Once I started this game I was like, oh dear, not one of those again. It has a bit odd navigation but once used to that it plays actually very good. The puzzles are nice and you dont have to walk too much (if you use the map feature that is). It's nicely drawn, not too good but certainly not bad. The plot is kinda ok but I disliked the voice acting a little, they all sounded a bit on... well ehm.. drugs to me. Still this game has a decent amount of scenes and puzzles and I would recommend this game as such...

I love redheads.

I have to say I really enjoyed this adventure puzzle game. There is a collectible, journal & map that lets you hyper jump and shows where an action can be taken. It is 3 pages long. You need the map because you can also hyper jump in the game as part of the story. So unless you want to walk enormous distances as the game progresses, use the map. There is a good help/skip button. Enjoy the puzzles & mini games - they are not overly complicated. Collect a lot of inventory. I realize the characters remind you of games from back in the past but it is worth it. The rest of the artwork is pleasant. While it is not sharp & clear like a more modern game, it did not hinder game play. Travel on earth, under water & in the clouds. So go ahead & save the world - again.

Wow, even for shitty point and click games, this one was BAD. Plot: absolutely nonsensical, which is pretty standard for the genre. It did however seem to go out of its way to include the most agonisingly racist cliches possible. Seriously, just why. Why. Minigames: mostly fine, though there was one I skipped because I couldn't really figure out the logic to it. Not particularly difficult on the whole. Fetch quests: about as logical as usual for the genre, which of course means I ended up facepalming a lot. (Why do you need a stick to pull up some tiles YOU JUST HAD A CROWBAR ffs) Graphics: Stop trying for realism when you can't pull it off. Just. Please. Make some styalised stuff. Lowpoly is trendy! Pseudo-claymation looks great with much smaller levels of detail! It's a 2D game, you're allowed to use 2D art!! As it is it's incredibly forgettable, in the sigh-another-of-these way. Sound: Tries way too hard. Might have worked if the plot made you feel like there was some...

good help function. a lot of locations. puzzles challenging but not difficult

Pretty nice puzzle game with interesting different story then others. .
