Worth it just to be able to make the ducks quack

This game scratched an itch that many have tried to emmulate since the golden heyday of point n' clicks with limited success. It has plenty of nostalgia and nods to Ron Gilberts origins, and the puzzles for the most part are pretty logical.

Basically, if you used to enjoy the original lucas arts point n clicks, you will enjoy this. Get it.

This is quite simply... beautiful.

I don't believe a game has ever made me feel quite this way.

I haven't played the first Edna and Harvey game so was somewhat skeptical of picking this up as other Deadilic titles while excellent storywise really put me off with the voice acting, however I'm really pleased I grabbed this in a sale as it's one of the best point and clicks I've played in a long time. While not overly hard, it's enough to make you think on how to proceed without ever having to refer to a walkthrough, and the story is pretty damn good, although I was a little disappointed at the ending which seemed rather abrupt. You could probably complete this in a single sitting if you wanted however expect to spend a good couple of hours straight at it. I completed it over a weekend just playing a couple of hours at a time each day.

There were a couple of bugs that kept popping up now and again, mainly with the interface, but nothing that crashed the game or stopped you proceeding.

There is an intelligent story here hidden behind the cute fluffyness, I urge you to give this a go if you like a good story and a good point and click adventure game... They are so rare nowadays!

A typical Click and point adventure game affair, the puzzles aren't too hard and seem fairly logical so far. The story while not fantastic is enough to immerse you into the game. The voice acting however, My god... I have never heard such bad voice acting. It's like they had someone read out every word in the dictionary, and then simply cobbled the results into sentences, there is very little emotion in the acting, and where there is it changes from one word to the next... Think... Shatner... on... DRUGSand... possibly.... youwillhave... an... ... ...idea... ofwhat... the... VOICE... actING... islike.

Needless to say it is very very distracting and honestly it spoils the game, I can only put up with it for about 30 minutes before I have to switch off. That said, the art style is fantastic and keeps me coming back for more.

Overall, if you turn off the voices and read the subtitles alone, you will probably enjoy this.
