D3AD HAND

Era dai tempi del mio Pentium 133 e di Monkey Island che non mi divertivo così con un punta e clicca!! Bellissimo!

I used to live in Siberian military base with silos and nukes until I was a teenager. (Not in Chita though, but in Omsk). And if you may think it is funny, I think this game is truly a documentary. ✍️ (it's pronounced not CHEEtah, but chiTAH, the stress is off, if you can still fix it, please do).

Lasting at least a puzzle-filled four hours, the two standalone chapters now collectively comprising D3AD HAND are a welcome diversion and some much-needed laughs in our war-plagued real world, gently poking fun at the Russian military machine. Especially in the larger “R3D STAR” update, the ongoing switching between human and cat brings greater gameplay diversity, and overall the combination of humor, wonderful pixel art, exciting music and variety of puzzles make you wish for an even longer game. Instead I’ll look forward to Duck Made Of Wood’s next game already in progress, as D3AD HAND is such a promising debut for a developer that shows the potential for stardom. https://adventuregamehotspot.com/review/6357/d3ad-hand

an above average point and click

Two amazing old school coded point and click adventures for a very cheap price! Stalin best character.

This is an excellent adventure game featuring top-tier puzzles and humor. The puzzles are superb, and the structure is non-linear, reminiscent of the classic LucasArts style. There are numerous locations, and they are all accessible in parallel. The characters are brilliantly written, and the voice actors deliver their lines with a tone that is genuinely hilarious—almost like over-the-top, slightly psychopathic fanatics. The setting is highly original and truly works. The gameplay gains significant depth from the fact that you control two characters simultaneously; one of them has special abilities that are utilized perfectly through the design of clever, non-trivial puzzles. Graphics & Visuals Exterior Locations: More than decent, though the lighting could have been handled better. Interiors: Honestly, they leave a bit to be desired. Character Models: Well-made and fun to look at, with sufficient animations. A Note on the "Introductory" Game So far, I’ve been reviewing the main game. However, I should mention that before the main experience, there is a short prequel/prologue—likely an adaptation from a game jam—which has lower graphical quality. The background art in the initial locations is, objectively speaking, quite ugly. But trust me: it gets much better. In this first segment, the puzzles are good, though there are several mini-games. personally, I’m not a fan of mini-games in adventure titles, but I have to admit that in this case, they are actually quite charming, never annoying, and never too difficult. Final Verdict Returning to the main game (the one with the vast number of locations): I repeat, it is truly excellent and not to be missed. At this price point, it is an absolute steal.

Funny little history game set in Soviet Siberia. Puzzles are pretty typical for this kind of game (turn valves to turn off steam leak, place gears correctly to get them turning, etc). I know it's an indie game, but the voice acting is absolutely awful. The main character can't decide whether he's German, Romanian, or Russian. He keeps pronouncing Stalin "shtalin." And he pronounced the word gauge like gouge. And apparently nobody bothered to correct him. Would it have killed them to re-record that word? If it was a computerized voice, would it have killed them to choose a different one? It really cheapened the game According to the credits, they used real voice actors for some of the characters, which somehow makes it worse. Aside from that, the game is pretty fun.

Gioco carico di ironia su una storia che chissà, potrebbe anche essere accaduta... Consigliatissimo. Un paio di passaggi complicati per chi come me va un po' in crisi sui punta e clicca (sigarette, sensore sismico), per il resto estremamente godibile :D

Strong Monkey Island vibes with a touch of Soviet chill-y sauce. Desecrating, very funny, and satisfying when you figure out the solution on your own (on the other hand, a look at the walkthrough may help you prevent the end of the world). Cats included—5 stars."

Nice atmosphera, retro adventure graphic. The Quests are quite logic and not so hard so that you can enjoy the game without be too much frustrated. The interface easy and fast to handle. The price is very low, something like to offer a coffee to the designer. If you are a nostalgic or maybe also to let your children have fun with an adventure ... get it.
