Edgar - Bokbok in Boulzac

Edit: Did finish the game and enjoyed most of it. Would have been better if the action sequences were skippable: Stealth sequence in middle of game, chasing sequence at end. Was enjoying it until the frustrating action sequence where you have to sneak up to someone who looks over every two seconds, causing you to restart. Devs really need to start listing this type of thing on the store page. Liked the crazy story and simple artwork, strange and funny dialogues. Losing count of how many 'point-and-click narrative adventure' games have unskippable action sequences that are not fun and prevent you from finishing the game. Just make them skippable, problem solved.

[list][*][b][h1]Morlan's shorts:[/h1][/b][/list] This is your typical, by now, "sideways" recommendation. If you're looking for a short movie-style, type of "adventure" game, reading a [b]lot[/b] of dialogues, many of which don't make much sense or are useful/funny/informative in any way but are basically ramblings of a (weird)Edgar fella.. and also like not having to make an effort but just walk through a game (back and forth repetitively) to uncover the story.. Go for it!.. but at a great discount. There isn't much action (but in the last stage). There is just going to person A fetch/read/talk and return to person B. [b]The art is lovely, the music is cute/uplifting and enjoyable[/b]. But those are the good parts. It doesn't justify the high price of 8 doubloons for 3+ hours of "gameplay" for what is basically a short film. Also, extra points reducted for some obsene achievements that would artificially prolong the game: Harvest 10/50/100/500 squashes?? You barely need 1 or 2 to progress the game and there is absolutely no reason to harvest anymore. This is just a ridiculous afterthought ..without any thought behind it. It would take a lot of hours to do that, by just clicking again and again at the squashes. More hours than to finish the game. Why do you do that? Just remove them and make it decent. It was fun, in a way, enjoyed many of it parts but I wouldn't recommend it as a game but as a short story, if you like all of the above. [b]Don't waste more time reading lengthy reviews.. time is of the essence![/b]

Jeu d'aventure français type point'n click dans l'esprit, il s'annonce bien comme 'jeu court' sur sa page steam, puisqu'il faut compter 3h pour boucler l'aventure. Ceci dit l'aventure est bien développée, car en seulement 3h il se passe plein de choses et on a suffisamment de lieux à visiter et de personnages à rencontrer, et le prix très bas est cohérent (8 euros tarif plein, perso je l'ai eu en solde à 1 euro). L'histoire est intéressante et bien exploitée, emmenant notre cultivateur sauver le village d'à côté et sa propre production de courges, contre <no spoil> ; l'humour est bien sûr omniprésent, ce qui fait l'intérêt du jeu. A recommander sans souci pour les amateurs du genre. NB : pas de contrôle à la souris, uniquement clavier ou manette ; fait à la manette ça passe très bien, le gameplay est conçu pour.

It's a cool one evening game experience. Not hard, not grinding. Just a fun story wrapped in some minimalistic gameplay. It's fun to read, get to know characters with minimal given details. Some personal dramas here and there. Just a glimpse of a life of some small famouse village that lost its glory. I love games like this, they expand your experience without demanding much in return.

Que dire !? Ce jeu est vraiment génial et amusant, que demander de plus !? Voici quelques points pour vous faire une idée rapide : . - La direction artistique est simple mais très agréable. Les couleurs sont belles et non agressives. . - La musique ou plutôt les sons ambiants sont bien pensés, et la chanson de fin je l’ai trouvé très bonne même si j’aurai préféré une chanson en rapport avec le jeu. Bravo ! . - Le gameplay est très simple et accessible au plus grand monde. . - L’histoire est amusante et bien trouvée. Il y a également pleins de références, dans tous les sens, à des films, des jeux vidéo et bien d’autres. . - Les dialogues sont savoureux ! Cependant il va peut-être falloir revoir les relecteurs car il y a quand même des fautes en tout genre… Assez étrange pour une équipe française. . - Ce jeu est assez court donc ne vous attendez pas à y passer des heures et des heures sauf si vous refaites des parties. Attention : vous ne pouvez pas régler le volume du son. Je vous conseille également d’y jouer à la manette - bien plus pratique que le clavier/souris.

[h3] Fun but frustrating ... [/h3] The story is basic and totally bonkers. Moving around with just basic keyboard (WASD) is so annoying. It might be better with a controller. One of the achievements is for harvesting 500 pumpkins !!! This is ridiculous as only 6 can be planted at one time so it takes several hours to complete. Has to be done in a single session. I had this running as I watched a couple of movies and sorted email otherwise it would have been a total time waster.

Short, sweet and will leave you wanting for more, just like a butternut squash pie.
