Twilight Oracle

"Twilight Oracle". Nach dem ich ja bereits die Demo komplettiert hatte, war der Kauf der Vollversion unausweichlich. Wunderbarer Humor, viel Un- und Blödsinn, farbenprächtige Grafik, spaßige Dialoge, tolle Rätsel. Der Titel hätte seinen Namen garantiert vergoldet bekommen, zu Amiga- oder frühen PC/VGA-Zeiten. Wer auf ein gutes und unterhaltsamen Adventure steht und insb. den Grafikstil liebt, ist hier mehr als gut versorgt. Erzählerisch wirst du und ein paar andere "Studenten" strafversetzt, da ihr euch einige Schnitzer erlaubt habt. Ihr müsst eine "Extra Prüfung" ablegen, ausgang unbekannt. Während du nun versucht, deinen Weg zu gehen und mehr oder weniger auf die Hilfe deiner Mitschüler hoffst, durchkemmst du eine Bunten (Unterwasser)Welt, mit vielen obskuren Kreaturen und Aufgaben. Egal wo du hinkommst, du findest immer wieder etwas Neues und man kann sich stellenweise nicht satt sehen. Holt euch das Ding, liebe Abenteuerfreunde (und die, die ein wenig schrägen Humor vertragen ;-)). https://youtu.be/OO6Ntgkb__s

Perfect game for a fun evening or two. Lots of weird sceneries to enjoy!

I am enjoying this game I will be doing a playthrough of it on Sunday if you like point and click adventure games of the Sierra/Lucasarts variety you can't go wrong with this game.

Great game! The art style is unique, it's very vibrant and very stylish. The puzzles are spot on - not too easy and not too hard. Writing and voice acting is just great. Twilight Oracle is a model example of what a top quality indie adventure game must be.

I'm a big fan of pixel-art. That, and the color palette, give this game a nice retro-vibe. It feels like being back in the 90s. The soundtrack supports that. The puzzle design is good. The game gives you enough hints to figure out what needs to be done. The story is well narrated, and comes with a huge potion of humor. This is especially fun, since the game takes itself not too serious. Also, the voice over is very good. All in all I can highly recommend Twilight Oracle.

Fantastic adventure game full of surfer humor straight from the 80-90's and pretty abstract, yet smart puzzles. The voice acting is great and trippy pixel art really complemented the story. Hope to play more point n clicks from you guys!

Un point&click sympa et rigolo. La technique est très correcte, et il y a un hommage appuyé à Legend of Kyrandia (qui est loin de me déplaire !). L'histoire est tirée par les cheveux, mais les aventures de notre héros restent très acceptables, et font passer un bon moment. Twilight Oracle mérite donc d'être considéré sérieusement !

Great pixel art but the gameplay is boring. The puzzles are straightforward and scriptures are just plain. I don't know the reason why this is rated very positive.

Cosmic Void makes some trippy games, and Twilight Oracle is no exception. The game starts out with these magistrate dudes sending four slackers on a mission to take down some guy without any real explanation. After the first part of the game ends, things get very...interesting. In fact, the majority of the game feels like a really strange acid trip (not that I'd know what that's like), but that just adds to the appeal of this point-and-click adventure game. While the game is relatively short (even for an adventure game), the story is just gripping enough for me to want to play more just to see what happens next.

Ok, I try to make it short but sometimes I cannot. This game has a great atmostphere and universe. The color palette makes it almost psychedelic and is a real turn on...I really loved evolving in this colorfoul world with fun characters, goofy and funny ones. Graphically it reminded me of Earthbound (SNES), Coolspot (SNES), so this is a blast of nostalgia, this is great. The dubbing are cool and immersive. Kudos for this dev to add voice dubbing in his last productions. Text only is not lively and cheerful. Well done. Now, the cons, because this game is not perfect: conversely to the most recent Point and Clicks even from this dev you do not have the "highlight objects functionality" (TAB) so there is a bit of pixel hunting...(but it is retro so maybe it is cool) so maybe you can miss an item in this superb pixelated world. Then also you have the music which is very compressed and a bit repetitive and sounds like SimCity SNES (1989) which I dislike because it stood outside this wonderful magical universe. The last games from this dev had better synthwave music. Also, a lot of tedious back and forth (too much) between many screens that are not intuitive to find. Also needed a detailed guide because ot its mild difficulty because it is not a "no brain easy" point and click. The purists will say the story is not deep enough and the powers of the protagonists are not used and exploited. This is true but does not remove the fun so I do not care. Really small detail is that every protagonist do not have a face miniature when talking (which is mentionable) because even FF5 SNES have that...no perfectionism here but budget. It's a great game to play, a lot of fun reminding the 90's Sierra Era and I am happy those guys can create those games in 2020+. The devs are incredible and need more credit for this kind of word which is renewing the genre and renewing point and clicks. Finally, that's a blast, spot on...we are speaking about a 9 dollars game by the way...so go blind and buy it. I would rate it 8.5/10 for the forementionned drawbacks, but it's blind buy for any PaC player. I really hope this team can pursue their work of providing great Point and Clicks because they excell at it. I really hope this versatile and hyper creative team can do BIG GAMES in the future because this gem tastes like an appetizer (2 hours play). In short (sorry for rambling), BUY IT AND SUPPORT THE DEVELOPERS especially when they give away tons of workload for 9 bucks.
