Rosewater

I really had fun with the game - the gameplay was interesting; the story, the universe it is set in are good, likable characters, great actors/voice actors (Leilani Jones-Wilmore, yay!!! 🙂 )...I also appreciated that the game has its own style of graphics, which seemed to fit the atmosphere and the universe of the game well, so overall, I really enjoyed it. I have only two problems with it: 1. It was frustrating for me that in dialogues it was not visible if - i can just ask through all questions - i need to pick one out of many options - if they have an impact on the story. So this posed a bit of a challenge for me to understand the game mechanics that it's a mix of classic P&C adventures and the style of Telltale Games where I can slightly influence the story - it's a pretty good one in the end, but it would have been nice if it was clear from the beginning. 2. The ending of the story. There was so much deus ex machina to get TWO characters show up on an island independently from each other to rescue our heroes...that really blew the well built structure of the story unfortunately. 🙁 It was such a pity, because the rest of the story was actually pretty solid. These are just relatively minor nitpicks overall, I definitely recommend the game.

A pleasing journey across an alternate universe.

Set in a reimagined Western frontier, it leans into classic adventure game DNA—measured pacing, deliberate puzzles, and a focus on conversation as much as interaction. But it doesn’t feel stuck in the past. The writing carries it. There’s a quiet confidence in how characters speak and reveal themselves, like the game trusts you to notice the small shifts rather than underlining them. Harley Leger, as a protagonist, is a good fit for that tone. She’s curious without being naive, capable without feeling like a power fantasy. More observer than conqueror. It gives the story space to breathe, and lets the world come forward instead of orbiting around her. Visually, there’s a warmth to it—handcrafted backgrounds, subtle animation, that slightly sun-faded palette that makes everything feel lived-in rather than staged. It doesn’t chase realism; it goes for texture. You get the sense of dust, distance, and time passing slowly. The puzzles won’t try to outsmart you just to prove a point. They’re grounded, mostly intuitive, and tied to the environment in a way that keeps you in the world instead of yanking you out of it. That said, it still expects you to pay attention. It’s not holding your hand—it’s just not trying to trip you either. What lingers is the tone again—calm, a little reflective, occasionally wry. It’s less about high stakes and more about the journey itself: people crossing paths, small decisions accumulating, stories unfolding at their own pace. It’s the kind of game that doesn’t demand urgency. You sit with it, and it meets you there.

Скажу, как любитель квестов и игравших в большое их множество... Rosewater, достаточно крутой и колоритный квест. Здесь действительно, очень круто и интересно прописаны истории и характеры большинства персонажей. Само становление команды, сделано постепенно. Подача действительно шикарная, сюжет очень закручен, для такого рода игр. Без знаний минимального английского, будет тяжело, т.к. здесь очень сильно вкручен разговорный английский. Очень много путешествий, очень много пейзажей и локаций. В общем всем любителям, обязательно к прохождению.

This was a very enjoyable and interesting game to play through. I felt as though I got to know all of the characters very well, and got a good grasp of the world the game is set in. I have also played Lamplight City, so I already had a general idea of the world, but this game takes it to a completely different setting. It has beautiful art, great use of rotoscoping animation, great voice acting, and great music. If you enjoy a good point and click adventure game that reminds you of why the classic games are so beloved, give this one a go. You won't be disappointed.

A very interesting and fresh take on a point and click adventure game. A very "slice-of-life" experience where you get to partake in a series of vignettes that flesh out the world and the characters outside of the main narrative. I would very much like to see this style of game catch on!

While the premise an atmosphere is good, it is quite a boring game still.

Great Western with a "Aetherpunk" twist. Great Voice acting and music as well.

I enjoyed playing this game, i especially loved the ending. There were parts that I felt dragged a little more than i hoped for but i really love the storyline, voice acting, characters, and art work!

Flawless execution of an adventure game.
