Well it's a year late (the official website still states a September 2007 release date!) but I think this game is coming out soon. Gamespot has an update here. They usually do these "company line" updates when a game is being released in the next month or so.
Looks like it could be a fun game anyway, gfx are nice.

| Deleted User | Yes, I think it's coming out pretty soon, as it's available for pre-order at many stores.
Here are some cool-looking screenshots. http://www.everlight-game.de/galerie.de.html
I think I'd like to take a chance on this one.

If you can't read German, you can try your luck with Google's translation. But if the grade they give it is 80%, which doesn't sound so bad.
It looks like a game that might interest people who miss fairy tale type adventures and want a change from murder mysteries and ghost stories.

German review indicates a short easy game requiring a higher spec computer than I possess. (I must fork out soon!)

I agree with the Gamespot review, although 4.5 is a bit too low in my opinion (and I haven't finished the game). The load times are long, the characters' behavior is far too childish for my taste, the voiceacting is so-so, the dialogues are forgettable. It's one inventory puzzle after another, nothing new here, but that's probably just me having played too many adventures. Worst of all, wherever you go, you are [s]stalked[/s] followed by the most irritating fluttering elf, a real nasty piece of toxic goods, who lies to you, belittles you, hates everybody, gossips and is totally unfunny.
PS: The Gamespot review has SPOILERS. Sigh... when will they ever learn. Are you reading this, Mr. Brett Todd? Please do not, ever, use spoilers in a review. Thank you.

Status : Offline | Hmm, well the graphics look very nice for the game, which is what caught my interest originaly, i may try to check it out for that, as the German game devel scene is certainly working hard these days and doing some very good work.

I'm not sure whether it is supposed to be geared to adults or children. Some of the subject matter is certainly adult in nature, but the main character and his little fairy friend - ick. I'll keep plugging away, maybe it becomes more interesting.
