Status : Online | I finished this a couple days ago and thought I'd post my two cents .
First off, if you are great at completing adventure games (even quite hard ones), then this might not be your cup of tea. It's fairly easy.
Second, I didn't use a walkthrough at all for it except for a couple times and one was from a glitch in the game. It's not really Alt+Tab friendly. If you do, some hotspots will become unclickable.
This game starts off with a video of the main character, Eve, standing by her mother's grave. There's a female voice reading a letter from her dad (I assume this is Eve's voice), which heightens her curiosity and sends her off on her adventure. There isn't much voice acting, save the beginning movie and the tutorial when you first start playing. I can't remember if there's any other times with voice acting.
The tutorial can also be played through, or skipped .
You can press the enter button to show all hot spots on the screen.
Puzzles are cleverly woven into the story and I don't believe there's any odd ones. There is one audio puzzle, but it's very easy.
The story is quite interesting, and ties up almost all the loose ends at the end. It makes me think that there might be a sequel. This is a fantasy game, so you'll see various different species.
The way the world of Crystal Valley works is "You help me, I help you," so be prepared to help someone in need to get what you want.
There is some back and forth, but it seems to pretty much keep to one area at a time. Once you've visited a place, you can double click to quickly travel there which I love in a game, unless you're trying to really capture the experience .
Overall it was quite a pleasant, but easy experience. I would probably give it a B-, just because it was a bit too easy .
I hope my little 'review' helped you in your decision whether to play this game. I think it'd be a good game for young adventurers that aren't as experienced to play a really hard adventure.
I gave you everything to die with a smile, all you wanted was to live for a while&&you took everything but it left you empty&&you can't replace me, you can't.&&&&It's almost over and here we are, we're stuck inside this salted earth together.&&you'll pierce my lungs, my limbs go numb&&as my colors fade out, you watch me bleed.&&you watch me bleed.
