This game is a little different than others in this genre. Not the •storyline• so much as the way she uses her gifts.
...She’s a medium with psychic powers. Her father had dropped her in an orphanage at a young age, saying that he could no longer protect her. When she gets old enough, she leaves the orphanage to search for her father, & ends up helping a young girl from a ghost, instead. She gets visions that you work through, in the form of a little puzzle, (which I enjoyed) and you get clues needed to solve the story. Not exactly unique, but the way to get the clues needed to continue keeps it interesting.
But what I really love is that there’s just a few of the whole “back and forth” thing. No running all over to get, and place, items.
Scarlett’s voice was good, but the male voices didn’t quite match the 2 male characters. But, that’s just a personal preference, of course.
The game offers custom settings and a transport map. However, since the game takes place in just 3 different places, the map isn’t really necessary.
I absolutely recommend this game. I only gave 4 stars due to not having a bonus game.
I’ve read several reviews complaining that the game is too short. I bought it when it was on sale, ($2.99? IDK exactly, but it was definitely on sale) and it’s more than worth the price.
I suggest signing up for the Artifex Mundi newsletter, so you can try & but when they’re on sale.
I think Cursed Child is a great introduction for a new series. And while I would like to see them be a bit longer, or at least have a bonus game; I’m really looking forward to the next game in the series!
