Foolish Mortals

Simply beautiful. Made me feel back to melee island, where I met my first adventure back in the 90's. A lovesong to the golden age of point and click without being a copy Visuals are great, the characters are quite interesting and the soundtrack and the sound ambience are tunned to the plot. The plot has it's surprises (at least one major), but let's say it's simple. That's not a problem The puzzles are neither dumb nor overcomplicated. There is no moon logic; not once. I felt they were a bit too easy on the begining, but as the story progresses it warms up and the puzzles start to feel interesting. Not all of them, but you never get bored It was made with both love and talent and deserves a place among my modern favorites

Una maravilla de aventura, de principio a fin. Todo en este juego me ha encantado: el argumento, la jugabilidad, las voces, la música... Además, el sistema progresivo de pistas que va incluido en el juego te permite encontrar la solución a los pocos puzles complicados que hay (el vals, la habitación de las escaleras...), en el caso de que te quedes atascado. En resumen: Foolish Mortals representa, en mi opinión, todo lo que una aventura gráfica de corte clásico debe ser. 10/10

I really enjoyed this game! It's a really cool story with interesting puzzles and great humour. The hints are built into the game, so it's impossible to get stuck. The graphics and voice acting were also superb!

It's an okay point and click. The puzzles later on feel kind of repetitive and some later puzzles i was thinking "how was I ever going to figure this out without the hint option?" I think the inventory clutter is a bit annoying as there is alot of red heerings in inventory stuff you are never going to use again. I also only recall combining inventory items a handful of times in the whole game. Although I have alot of nitpicks, I think it was an overall good experience, and I would like to se the next iteration from the developers.

Foolish mortals tells a good tale with great voice acting and solid puzzles. Well worth the purchase.

I can't describe how much I enjoyed this game - as a Haunted Mansion fan, a puzzle fan, a point-and-click fan....EVERYTHING!!! This just scratched that itch I had for a challenging game with beautiful art, great writing, and engaging gameplay. Like every good puzzle game, there were a good number of times when I felt silly having to look at walkthroughs to solve puzzles where the answer was already in front of me. I think there may have been one time when I went "Oh, come on," when the game had me go through a linear section for an answer to a puzzle I already knew because of in-game dialogue (the greenhouse statue puzzle), but those times were few and far between. The jokes were delightful, too. The incentives to show every item to the character was purely in the storytelling, and I felt rewarded every time I unlocked a new string of dialogue that made me laugh out loud. Some things might've been able to be tightened up (mainly in how many characters there were that kind of just seemed like plot devices that got dropped as soon as they stopped being useful - I would've loved to have more interactions with characters like Tallulah, Sebastian, Edgar, Ned, or Mallory, rather than one-note characters like Rupert, Ezra, Moray or Muffy). I think my only frustration was that there was no noticeable archive of unlocked dialogue to be able to re-read information if I picked up where I'd left off or accidentally clicked through dialogue too fast. No spoilers, but my biggest note is that Rackham and Abigail would've benefitted from more interactions and big moments. I loved what they added, but knowing how the story all ties together, I found myself a bit frustrated in the final act once everything wrapped! Still, if the energy that could've been given to those tweaks went to the gameplay instead, I'm not too upset, as they were still solid characters with cool story moments. Overall, this game satisfied a craving that I've had since playing my first Nancy Drew games - truly I hope to see more from this team! Will be counting this in my top 10 favorite games from now on.
