Bewildered

Gotta admit, it was quite rough around the edges. I think the game is quite beautiful and I like the idea of having to cast non-violent spells to earn magical 'bullets' to fire back at enemies. However, the clunkiness weighs down the experience heavily, and the only enemies are just slightly different versions of blobs. The companion animal was also basically a non-factor, not sure how it was programmed but never felt like it was doing anything meaningful in combat. Nevertheless, it's a worthy submission by a student group, and I do think the general idea they were going for is clear.

Bewildered is free and has potential... I am giving it a good review since I would recommend if you want something short and free to play; however, there are opportunities for improvement. The animal companion is the main reason I decided to play this game, but it mostly gets stuck and doesn't follow commands very well which was disappointing. There was no real story introduction when you meet. It's just kind of there. Also, the directions on how to play or what to do in the game are not great. The visuals are pretty good, main character is good, the idea of an animal companion is always a plus in my book. It's a good idea for a game that needs more work. I really wanted to like it more!
