Tearstone: Thieves of the Heart

Graphic adventure game, pastime, object finder. PLOT In the previous chapter "Tearstone" the young protagonist responds to the request for help from a strange professor and gets involved in a world of magic and secrets. 10 years have passed and our Hero decides to return to that absurd world, because a serious event has happened, someone has stolen Tearstone's heart. Having found his bizarre friends and the KING, the young man will have to embark on a ship-airship a little loose to ask himself if it will be safe, and leave with few clues in search of the Heart. Will he be able to find this strange artifact and unravel the mystery it contains? PLAYABILITY The graphics are very beautiful, and the plot is nice there are some funny characters that you will know as you advance in the story. The Minigames are easily overcome with a little patience, there is no need to skip them while the object-seeking scenes are different from the conventional style, there are no names of the objects to look for, but shadows are placed in the center of the scene to refer to. The music is suitable for the game, above all there is a cheerful tune that accompanies you without tiring as you explore various places. There are many collectibles to collect, the sibles of Fortune, the shape-changing objects, and playing cards; you have to look in the map of the locations it is marked where you have to collect them so you don't risk forgetting them. There are 7 chapters in the main story plus 2 bomus chapters: "7 Card of Destiny" which you can only play if you collect all the collectible cards; and "Portal Todd". I recommend this Item Finder, found it quite enjoyable to play and mom found bugs.

So apparently this game was just suddenly published without any announcement (release date info only said "April" last I checked). They posted about a small patch without revealing any details, and then they immediately vanished without replying to questions. I can only assume that the issues with triggering achievements have not been fixed. My experience with this game was that it had the potential to be pretty great, but getting there would have taken a lot more than a small patch. It looks good and I had fun with most of the puzzles and adventure elements. Sometimes I had no idea why something worked or what item I "found" by randomly clicking (side-eyeing the whole "morphing objects" thing). The story seemed like a complete afterthought - bad writing, obviously not proofread by a native speaker, dialogues often disappeared so quickly that apparently we weren't even expected to read them. But for all I know that's just what Hidden Object games are like. I'm not much of a HOG person, I'm just here because I was sent a review copy. Compared to other HOGs and review copy games I've played, this was one of the better ones. My review is still leaning towards negative because of the dev vanishing. Either you publish your game on Steam or you don't. Just dumping it here without fixing issues, without any comment or help with players' problems is not cool. Content-wise, there's one scene where you have to kill (or Idk, make her go poof) the Bad Guyess in a kind of quick time event. I never really understood the mechanics of it (just tried lots of times), and unlike all the other puzzles you couldn't skip that one. Both the main story and the bonus chapter ended very abruptly for me, but maybe there were supposed to be cut scenes that didn't work with my Steam Play for Linux. I asked about it in the forum a week ago, on release day, but like the other player issues - no reply. * * * If you like chill and story-driven games, check out my curator [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35872486]Peaceful Adventures and Stories[/url].

Continuation of a fascinating story, now we have to dive into the world of magic, find a mysterious artifact, find out what it keeps in itself. In the game, small details that need to be found are coolly worked out, the local music fits well under this, and mini-games will not tire you with a banal passage. Pleased with a separate chapter in the game, which can be completed by collecting all the collectible cards. In general, a worthwhile point click game to concentrate and relax in the evening.

Sure, it's just another HOG, but when a genre becomes a guilty pleasure that can pass the time on a rainy afternoon, you know it's worth paying attention to. Tearstone isn't attempting to be different. This is a mystery adventure game in which you must search the screen for useable objects, HOG scenes, puzzles, and mandatory collectibles such as morphing objects and runes. The map includes icons adjacent to scenes that indicate where to look. I enjoy how the game maintains the trend of moving away from HOG scenes and toward adventure. These are still there, but there is no magical list of objects that shouldn't be there. Everything you need is clearly marked and the appropriate size. Each finished scene rewards you with an item that must be used in the correct location to proceed. You'll be able to get quite a few goods just from the scene. Their use is usually straightforward and obvious. If a subtle glimmer indicating interactivity isn't enough, there's also a helpful hint that must be recharged after each use. This recharge rate is determined by the difficulty level chosen, but you may customize it by changing what appears on the map and the sparkles. Here, item management plays a significant role. The majority of them can be seen in greater detail, interacted with, or combined. The type of interaction is always indicated by an icon next to them. Everything is simple, and the game can be completed in one sitting. Even the occasionally irritating logic puzzles are nearly non-existent here. There are no boring color, music, or runes puzzles in this game. The most you'll see is a few potion mixing and memory tasks that can be completed in under a minute because the instructions are quite clear. Overall, a classic example of the current HOG trend that doesn't bring anything new.

What a mess. The "story" is nonsensical and chaotic, the "characters" barely exist, the English text is awkward, and voice acting horrible. What about the gameplay? Also kinda meh. There are some good puzzles, but many of them don't make sense and the UI is clunky, often getting in the way of solving them. I do like the idea of how hidden-object scenes are implemented: they are a bit like riddles, using hints for you to find the objects instead of just showing you names. Unfortunately there aren't many of these scenes, and even if there were they could not save this game from everything else that is wrong with it.

Does not run well...cut scenes not working; story is dumb and voice acting is horrendous.....get it on sale.

A classic point-and-click adventure with various puzzles. Definitely not suitable for fans of modern dynamic games. It's a game for measured and relaxed play. Pluses are also the presence of game achievements and a good visual style of the game. The game is also good for anyone who has never played this kind of game. I wish, of course, that the game was a little cheaper.

an interesting mysterious object finder with amazing colorful graphics.a mesmerizing lengthy plot with multiple puzzles originally invented to complete the game as a whole.I like to look for hidden objects while ghosts sleep in the corners of the door room.P.S don't hit zombies on the head they are already stupid

I watched, listened to music and enjoyed a wonderful story, an adult fairy tale for children. Wonderful trip there and back, and then back and out. I moved the cursor around the monitor a lot and created the illusion that it couldn’t be, but I believed in it, because I love fairy tales. Sometimes it was even scary, but I didn’t know why and who scared me.
