Dark Parables: The Thief and the Tinderbox Collector's Edition

This is the twelfth game in the series. Just wait to buy it in the 50% off sale that runs every now and again. I enjoyed this one, but it sort of loses the plot a bit when it comes to fairytales. It has steam cards and in-game achievements but not steam achievements. (Any missed achievements are obtainable again after completing the bonus chapters.) The release order of Dark Parables is: Curse of Briar Rose The Exiled Prince Rise of the Snow Queen SPINOFF- Fabled Legends: The Dark Piper The Red Riding Hood Sisters The Final Cinderella SPINOFF- Cursery: The Crooked Man and the Crooked Cat. Jack and the Sky Kingdom Ballad of Rapunzel The Little Mermaid and the Purple Tide November 12, 2014 Queen of Sands Goldilocks and the Fallen Star Swan Princess and the Dire Tree The Thief and the Tinderbox Requiem for the Forgotten Shadow Return of the Salt Princess The Match Girl’s Lost Paradise Portrait of the Stained Princess (released in 2019 so there's unlikely to be any more)

At 4 hours this game is not the best value but I still have to give it an enthusiastic thumbs up. The art and animations were gorgeous but the story was the star of the show. It was presented in chapters which continued into the bonus game where there was a wonderful twist ending. The ambience was consistent throughout as well. The Hidden Object puzzles were not my favourite though. They were an assembling of parts rather than found objects. Overall, an excellent, yet short, addition to a great series.

Good graphics - vibrant colors and smooth. The games are fun and relaxing .. until I decide to go for a more challenging option! I'll play it again in that mode. For now, it's been fun.

(Note: The next Dark Parable game is not on Steam, I have no clue why. So, I have to play it on another site. If anyone knows why, feel free to let me know in comments) "Ra, ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen." I seriously would have killed to be a fly on the wall when the developers decided to make Rasputin the villain. I was greatly disappointed by the last two games in the Dark Parables series, however, this one was quite a pleasant surprise. The HO scenes were beautiful. Puzzles were a great challenge that I enjoyed, even though that path game puzzle they kept repeating did make me want to yank out my hair a few times. But good story, but OMG! At the ending of the Bonus Game, I wonder if we will get follow up on that character's fate in future games. "In the dark of the night, evil will find her!"

I am a big fan of the Dark Parables series and The Thief and the Tinderbox was a pleasant surprise in the way it connected past stories and characters. Gorgeous settings and HOB scenes. Enjoy the interactivity and level of puzzles, including the souvenir puzzle in the extras section. My only disappointment was my own inability to find all the parable pieces to enjoy the story to its fullest!

World's edge is a breathtaking place that i'm also stealing for meself

Lovely graphics, decent story, some of the non fragmented object puzzles could get a bit tedious, but overall enjoyable.

Collect it but caution ending is not what you expect. Rasputin and Kai ending? Like: responsibility seem to theme Dislike: they should added guardian story arc. Personal opinion: What happened to detective? What happened to moon priest?

This game was good.
