Dimhaven - The Lost Source

Excellent game. On my second playthrough, I finished it in less than three hours. Of course, I had a bunch of notes from my first playthrough. I'm a little disappointed by the fact that there were no randomized puzzles, nor was there any "big choice" at the end, like with Quern. It didn't have any alternate endings that I could tell. Other than that, it was an excellent game. I hope the creators make more like this one in the future!

This game is very challenging. I loved all the places it took you. It started out like it was going to be one thing then took you completely somewhere else.

Vraiment hardcore niveau énigmes (genre vraiment) Mais quel beau jeu !

One of the best puzzle games I played in the last years. I found the puzzles to be quite unique, interesting and satisfyingly difficult at times. The game ended very suddenly and much quicker than I anticipated, since there seemed so many more places to explore. However, it took me 15 hours to complete and this was a good value for the price.

Incredible puzzle game. I disagree with the negative reviewers saying that many puzzles were incredibly vague and expected you to know more than you should. It is a skill issue. There was really only one puzzle I wish gave a little bit more direction, but everything else was perfectly solvable (please add a 1 to the top of the cabinet puzzle chart.)

Ce que ce jeu est : un bon jeu d'aventure, une petite histoire sympa, un style visuel réussi, un gameplay à base de "trouver le bon objet pour la bonne serrure" et "trouver le bon code secret en utilisant sa logique à l'aide des trois indices". On bouge de séquence en séquence comme si on passait d'une escape room à une autre, et en ça le jeu est réussi. Ce que le jeu n'est pas : un puzzle game d'exploration ou un metroidbrainia. On est pas sur Myst ou Riven, on débloque les séquences d'histoire et les lieux grâce aux énigmes, mais on ne reviens pas en arrière (à part peut être la dernière séquence). On ne débloque pas de compétence qui nous permet d'explorer ailleurs. Amateur de metroidbrainia, passez votre chemin, amateur de point and click avec énigme assez retorse ce jeu est pour vous.

Maybe you're smarter than me. There's a very real possibility. If you are, by all means, go for it. There's a strong basis for a game here, and yes, it warns you upfront that it's hard, but there are some puzzles, especially early on, where there is more than one logical solution, but unless you stumble upon the one the designer intended, you cannot progress. There are assumptions made (such as whether partners in a game of cards sit next to or across from each other, or I guess what "wraps around" means) that I did not find in evidence. Look, maybe I missed something, but there were at least two puzzles so far that I feel are not inherently solvable with the information provided. I had to find a walkthrough video for one puzzle, and I still don't understand how my answer was wrong. I say all of this with the humble acknowledgement that maybe this game bested me more than once; I am human. But I love puzzle and logic games, and either this one is too hard for me, or it is flawed.

It has been a while since I played Quern, and I can say coming from it that I really enjoyed this game. The beginning of this game is absolute cinema. The music and artstyle were my favorite parts. The voice acting was also really well done. Some of the puzzles had me stuck and I had to use hints to figure out how to proceed, but you felt satisfied when you beat them. The only thing I'll mention is that I think the ending could have been a bit longer because it feels a bit rushed. I'm really looking forward to Zadbox's next game. Thank you for this gem :)

After playing the other blue brain games ( house of Da Vinci trilogy ) that i all enjoyed very much this on fell short for me to the point that i regret the purchase. the good : atmoshere , story rich, soundtrack the bad : pixelized graphics the ugly : way too far fetched puzzles from midgame t il the end
