The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince

Cute puzzle platformer that's originally on Switch and PS from 2018 but finally got ported to PC. It's a fairy tale of a wolf who turns into a princess to save the prince she accidentally injured, and it's your typical puzzle gameplay with two characters with different abilities. This one switch things up a bit with one beeing blind and needs to be directed to do any action, you can't move him on your own. The controls aren't perfect, sometimes jumps just don't trigger propperly especially on the bouncing mushrooms, and getting the blind prince to move on his own is also more sluggish than it probably should. But it was a cute story, very nice artstyle and the music was pretty damn epic at times.

《说谎公主与盲眼王子》：8.1 / 10 （优秀） 单周目流程时长：5 - 7 小时 类型：横板叙事 ———— 在森林里，生活着一个凶恶无比，却很爱唱歌的怪物。 它就这样孤独地活着，没有朋友，没有同伴，也没有谁会愿意靠近它。直到某一天，一个小王子被它的歌声吸引，逐渐靠近，想要与这位拥有美妙嗓音的歌手接触。 怪物从来没有见过这样主动靠近它的人，一方面，它为此感到高兴，另一方面，它又害怕这名听众发现自己的真面目。惊慌失措之下，它划伤了王子的眼睛，盲眼的小王子因此失去了王族的资格，被关进了城堡深处。 出于愧疚，怪物用自己的歌声作为代价，请求魔女赐予它变成人类的力量。最终，它化身为公主，救出了被囚禁的王子，并牵着他的手，走向怪物遍布、危机四伏的森林深处，去寻找那个能够治好他眼睛的魔女。 以上，便是《说谎公主与盲眼王子》的开场剧情。可以看出，这真的是一个很传统的童话，但它真挚动人的剧情，也曾打动过无数玩家。 只不过，以如今的视角来看，本作也确实存在不少问题，而且问题 还 不 小。 先说说那个最显眼的问题——价格。每小时差不多25块钱的定价，哪怕放到一些线性3A里也显得极其昂贵，这也算是日区游戏的通病了。 如此高昂的价格，想必本作绝对是精华的浓缩，每一分钟都充满乐趣吧。 可事实恰恰相反，本作的游玩体验相当坐牢。作为一款横板闯关游戏，它的玩法深度甚至还不如一些4399上的闯关小游戏；细节方面也是粗糙的不行，某些逆天设计能给人气笑；来回交互的动画慢得急人，角色又是超级脆皮+杰洛特级别的抗摔能力，只要被怪物碰到，或者跳跃稍微有点失误，就会死亡重来。 于是，一段本该短小精悍的童话旅程，就这么被硬生生拖成了一段遍地尖刺的苦痛之路。好在，游戏内置了跳过关卡的功能（有时间限制）。可真要这么做，它就成了每小时75块钱的电子绘本，这么一看反而更亏了。 那么最后，游戏还能指望的，也就只剩下那个剧情了。 可说到底，这种几乎一眼就能看到结局的童话故事，真的能让人满意吗？ 还真能。 俗话说的好，决定故事好坏的，往往不是故事本身，而是讲故事的方法。而本作，就讲的温馨，讲的笨拙，也讲的足够动人。 可能是因为旅途中那些并不愉快的记忆，反而一点点堆出了真实的陪伴感。 可能是因为其出彩的绘本画风、动听的音乐以及传神的旁白，让这片森林变得像是一本引人入胜的故事书。 也可能是因为，童话本来就是这样温馨、这样笨拙、这样动人： - 一个是看不见任何事物的王子，一个是不敢说出真相的怪物。 它明明拥有锋利的爪子，明明拥有吃人的本能，却偏偏要笨拙地扮演一位温柔的公主，小心翼翼地牵着王子的手，陪他走进森林深处。 它想用真正的面目与王子相处，却又害怕那副怪物的模样，会再次吓到这个唯一愿意靠近自己的人。 于是，它只能继续说谎，继续牵手，继续把那些无法说出口的愧疚，藏进一次次笨拙的陪伴里。 可谎言终究只是谎言。 它或许能换来一时的同行，却无法换来真正的友谊。因为爱与善意，从来都不应该建立在永远无法说出口的歉意之上。 犯了错，就要弥补；伤害了别人，就要道歉。 所以啊，怪物未必永远只能是怪物。只要它愿意放下谎言，伸出那双曾经伤人的手，也总有一天，能够真正牵住自己所爱的人。 - 所以最后，我也原谅了它那糟糕的游玩体验，只能感叹一句： 这可能是一款比起做成游戏，更适合做成动画的温柔绘本。 ————

[h1]I Will Always Hold Your Hand[/h1] A short but deeply moving fairy tale with a bittersweet ending. The first thing that caught my eye was the lovely style, reminiscent of drawings done in graphite pencil on coffee-stained paper. Various creatures that share the same names as in our world have a slightly different appearance here. (For example, the main character has extra eyes when she’s in wolf form). There are plenty of diverse locations, interesting interactions with the surrounding creatures, and mechanics for the prince’s communication and actions. Some puzzles struck me as not as simple as they might seem at first glance. Nevertheless, with enough attempts, you’re sure to succeed. It’s nice that the game doesn’t get boring with repetitive patterns. These are some of the cutest characters I’ve ever seen. May they truly live happily ever after!

Decent cute short game. Some of the puzzle is just flaky, stupid and annoying, although I didn't use it, but there are at least skip option for it. Even then I quite like the story, I liked the very last puzzle as well

A very sweet story with incredible background music and vocal performance, paired with a very interesting (and cute) main mechanic. Even if the story is quite short, the game offers some replayability value with speedrun achievments and collectibles; after all, who doesn't like collecting shiny things? Took me around 8h to 100% the game because some parts are CHALLENGING! But a very nice experience overall :)

It's a cute puzzle game. Not really difficult (aside from one obtuse riddle involving numbers) and a bit slow at times.

ok i beat this in like 3 hours and its my fault for it but i want more this game is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good i adore it buy it if you want

全流程4.5-7h左右，期盼了很久终于是上架了，解谜小游戏，故事比较简单温馨没什么深度，美术方面没得说，还是更适合小孩子来玩（我想大部分都是补票吧），但一些范围判定着实难崩，没必要的限时通关和无击杀通关成就拉长了游戏时间，发行商环国区低价的操作也是一绝（日厂这样我已经习惯了），整体来看是对不起这个价格的
