Blackberry the Witch: Journey

Blackberry the Witch: Journey is a hand-drawn point-and-click adventure. There is some nice worldbuilding in the first half of the game, letting the player piece together bits of information from various sources. The second half feels more like a bunch of random encounters with random characters. Generally the game is quite easy, but there are never any indications of whether or not we're on the right track, and occasionally that can become an issue. Sometimes, especially in the first half of the game, it's quite fun to figure out what the game wants us to do. Other times it's frustrating, especially since there are a couple of puzzles which are just absurd. In at least one case, "use X on Y" doesn't work but "use Y on X" does. There are many alternate-interface puzzles, which are also hit-and-miss. Some of those puzzles are timed. The ocarina puzzle seems to be bugged right now: it worked for me only after reloading a savegame and redoing the same steps. The graphics are decent, but the animations are quite bad. The voice snippets in dialogs are very annoying. Another annoying thing is that the display of text lines can be sped up in dialogs but not in speech bubbles outside of dialogs. The diary is good, but the entries are not sorted in the order in which they were unlocked, and completed tasks do not get ticked off. It's impossible to combine two items which are far apart in the inventory because there is no way to select an item and then scroll the inventory. I don't think it can lead to a softlock, but it shows how unpolished the game is. The English translation is a mess, and there are even a couple of mistranslated puzzle clues.

Отличное рисованное приключение с головоломками для детей и их родителей. Некоторые игры возможно будет сложно играть детям. После выхода, спустя время, добавлено мини приключение "Призрачное Кутёжество" - Ночь Забавных Привидений (Хэллоуинский ивент). Играть только после завершения основной игры. Из минусов пожалуй только мало слотов под сохранения. Их реально не хватает если интересно получение всех достижений.

I just cannot do it! The moaning and squeaking of the character in lieu of dialogue is so unnerving that I just cannot continue. If I had not left the game on and went out for the afternoon I would have requested a refund.

Blackberry The Witch: Journey - это приключение с, по большей части, классическими point & click механиками, повествующее нам о Ежевике, девочке, обладающей ведьминскими способностями, которая обучается в приюте для трудных детей. Жизнь идёт своим чередом, но, как и положено по законам жанра, внезапно что-то случается и она отправляется искать приключения в неведомые дали. Что же произошло? Куда и зачем она идёт? Сумеет ли она найти что ищет? Это и предстоит выяснить игроку. Немного про техническую часть: в игру можно играть на компьютере, но, судя по элементам интерфейса и части пазлов, рассчёт был во многом на мобильные платформы, так что обладателям компьютерной мыши придётся постараться, решая некоторые задачи. В целом это по большей части несложное и забавное приключение, которое может прийтись по душе людям весьма разных возрастных категорий. Если вы хотите отвлечься от тяжёлого наследия Тима Шейфера с его хомяком и немного погонять в игру просто ради сюжета и более-менее простых головоломок, то посмотрите в сторону Blackberry The Witch: Journey.

I 've finished this cute little point and click journey =) it was fun, very entertaining and short in a good way. It took me 5-6 hours to complete so I didn't end up bored and puzzled to the point of no return. Pros: - Nice story full of little twists(sometimes dark and creepy ones). - You can feel some character development here, they don't remain static. Blackberry really changes through the journey, I'm looking forward to follow her with her journey if devs would make DLC or next part of the game. - Art is done with love and passion. My favorite puzzle is the one with painting ^_^ - Music is suiting, even when you're stuck somewhere you don't feel annoyed by it. - Environments look unique, I love every zone we travel across. - Story is tight and complete without any loopholes and cliffhangers. All character arcs are complete. Some characters do look a little bit shallow(like Clove or Liqourice), hope we will see more of their stories later. Cons: - No cloud sync support. I have 2 PCs and not being able to transfer the progress was painful. - Some puzzles lack logic in my opinion. In some places I tried every item on every active point in the room and it worked to my surprise. - Sometimes it's hard to distinguish points of interests from environment. The eye helps but old style adventures like The curse of Monkey Island do better job with the points of interest. Overall it's a great game for a weekend. I would certainly recommend it for you if you into point and click adventures. 8 harassed kittens out of 10.

Игра Blackberry the Witch: Journey ориентирована на детей и девочек которые любят 2D квесты. Игра рассказывает историю молодой ведьмы по имени Ежевика. В игре достаточно яркие локации и головоломки которые могут поджечь вам зад. Умереть тут можно от того, что просто затискали кота или тупо всё проспали) Если не пугает цена, то игру можно порекомендовать всем любительницам уютных cozy games. Брутальным бородатым дедам как я тут делать нечего)

I just cannot recommend this game. It has absolutely no direction. You are supposed to use your journal to tell you what you should be doing, but the journal (at least in my game play) does not update as it should and you have to wander around, back and forth, clicking on everything and hoping you can find a way to advance. There is no voice acting, the main character just grunts and squeaks, I had to turn the sound off. The art style is cute for the most part, but the characters are really wonky looking. Bottom line, it feels unfinished and the game just isn't any fun.

Colorful adventure game that won't leave a lasting impression but is nonetheless enjoyable for one playthrough. You know what to expect if you've ever played a point-and-click adventure game. This title sticks to modern mechanics, which means that you are not required to select actions when you click on something. When you hover over a hotspot and click the mouse button, the main character will either examine it, as is the case with most objects, or use/pick it up. The only voices are grunts, small laughter, sighs, etc. Because these can be heard every time you click on something, it can quickly grow bothersome. Although it is evident that the language was not initially in English, the translation is fairly good and not a copy-paste job, as is common in games. The majority of players will not even notice the occasional typo or bad wording. Most importantly, it does not detract from the story at all. I recommend that you immediately activate the eye that reveals all hotspots with a circle. While it's true that most of the fun comes from inspecting the screen and discovering objects, the game simply doesn't allow that much interaction with the world. Adventure games normally allow you to investigate even the most mundane object, but you'll probably only have a few hotspots per scene here. The only disadvantage of the hotspot reveal is that those helpful circles get priority on the screen, making whatever text bubble appear beneath them difficult to see. You don't have to worry about inventory because you don't pick up a lot of stuff. It is simple to use things; simply click and drag them onto the hotspot. Everything makes sense and there are no difficult logical puzzles. You can "die" in the game. Fortunately, there's no need to worry because the game autosaves right before making the decision. Also, you are encouraged to experience them because almost all come with a unique achievement. Unfortunately, certain aspects of the game's final third point to a premature release and inadequate testing. There will be hotspots that do nothing when you click on them, a one-of-a-kind drawer that is most likely part of a cut puzzle, a puzzle with clickable pieces that do nothing, and broken achievements. The oddest idea, though, was to incorporate puzzles in the last chapters that require you to combine items in your inventory. I understand that this is one of the basic elements of adventure games, but this title never suggests that combining is even possible. In previous chapters, when you have to combine something, you place it on a table and drop items on it.

Очень славная и расслабляющая игра с красивой графикой
