Keepsake

This was the first game I ever reviewed as a professional game journalist — almost 20 years ago. Back then, we saw games like this differently. They felt common, and it seemed like there would always be more. Now, it feels like a rare gem. Its atmosphere of pure zen works even better today. It’s like a detective story in an empty Hogwarts where you run through 20 empty, beautiful screens back and forth. And either you fully surrender to it, meditating — or you don't play at all. It’s a great break from TikTok and the pace of modern life. It’s a shame it never became a well-known classic. But I’m happy it’s still available to buy. And you should buy it too.

overall good. can recommend it.

Играла в эту игру в детстве! Затем перепроходила пару лет назад и сегодня, узнав что эта игра, оказывается, есть в Стиме, была приятно удивлена. Это одна из тех игр, которая вызывает у меня ностальгию и заставляет чувствовать светлую грусть. Даже спустя столько лет игра выглядит прекрасно, за локации вообще отдельный поклон! Озвучка тоже довольно хороша) Нравится даже больше, чем в оригинале. Спасибо за возможность снова пройти этот шедевр.

Игра реально интересная, довольно длинная если ты не гений. Головоломки есть как лёгкие так и пипец сложные, над одной из них я сидела несколько часов))) Из минусов, игра вылетала раз 10 , обязательно сохраняйтесь каждые 15-20 мин. За 30₽ это офигенная игра, сюжет интересный

Can one of the most beautiful graphic adventures also be one of the ugliest? Unfortunately, yes, the game is divided into two parts, one positive and one negative. The positive part is the game's beautiful graphics and the fascinating story; the negative part is the tragically difficult puzzles (one above all, the one in the astronomical observatory). And finally, something I didn't remember from the CD version I played many years ago on Windows XP: the numerous crashes, some random, others specific and unavoidable in certain parts of the story, related to certain puzzles. These crashes force the player to use the in-game help to complete the puzzle in order to continue, which is very annoying. Another small negative is that the dialogues cannot be skipped, even though there is a specific function. If you press the button to skip the dialogue, the game doesn't immediately move on to the next text but forces you to wait several seconds as if the dialogue were continuing anyway. One last, very small negative note: the lack of fast travel makes moving from one area of the game to another exhausting. In light of the above, I'm reluctant to give this game a negative rating of 59%, but, in my infinite kindness, I didn't feel like it and decided to turn it into a very low positive rating of 60%. This is simply because I loved this game and its story so much. However, if the mind-bending puzzles are now an integral part of the game, it would at least be nice if the developers would fix the numerous crashes that plague it and make it practically unplayable in some areas. My Final Score is [h1] [b]60%[/b] /100 [/h1]

Играла в эту игру еще в далеком детстве , головоломки как тогда, так и сейчас не все даются и приходится просить игру решить ее за меня. Мир с магией и драконами это прикольно. История, рассказанная игрой очень трогательна и интересная. Окружение весьма красивое и необычное. Школа волшебства в этой игре , как вернуться домой

ГЕНИАЛЬНАЯ ИГРА В КОТОРОЙ ИЗ-ЗА АЧИВОК ИГРА КРАШАЕТСЯ А ТАКЖЕ НАЛИЧИЕ НЕВЕРОЯТНЫХ ГОЛОМОВОЛОМОК ИЗ-ЗА КОТОРЫХ МОЙ ПУКАН ВОЗГОРАЕТСЯ ЗА СЕКУНДУ заку отдельное место в аду

If you like traditional point and click games, this game is for you. It has amazing visuals and unique story telling that I think a lot of people into point-and-click puzzle games would like. The stand-out wolf companion who you meet pretty early-game has interesting interactions with both the MC and the environment and makes this game stand out from some other games in the genre. The "hint" tool as well as some pausing/fast forwarding dialog tools were very useful for this game as well, enhancing interactions with this game and overall enhancing the experience. However, it comes with its certain downsizes that made this game not-so-much for me: - Puzzle Design: a lot of the puzzles boiled down to guessing to solve them rather than using any kind of strategy. More than often, there is only one path to take so solve a puzzle, and it really just takes sometimes some random guessing to guess these paths to "solve" the puzzles. - Dialogue: additionally, the dialog at times felt very cheesy, and makes some very obvious statements to the audience that could have been more covered in nuance (i.e. telling vs showing.) - (Some Level of) Hint Dependence: often enough, the player had to click the "hint" button in order to find out what to do next. Though the game play progression was linear, it was sometimes unclear that there were certain tasks that were required to do before others as there were no dialog queues nor environmental indicators hinting to do the tasks sequentially. Clicking the hint button, at times for myself, was a must to be able to figure out what to do next to progress. While the game definitely excels at world-building, aesthetics, and character likability, ultimately it fell a little flat for me with some game interactions to be able to take it to the next level.

Очень хорошая игра, с множеством загадок и головоломок. Понравиться особенно людям 25+ кто вырос на такой графике и очень хочет понастальгировать (детям тоже понравится, просто без настальгии). прекрасный вайб от игры

Отличная игра! Прямо ностальгия по моему детству. Школа магии, головоломки, сюжет, атмосфера - тут все замечательно. Несмотря на то, что игра вышла почти 20 лет назад, смотрится она очень хорошо.
