My desire to ❤️ it despite UI? Killed by GameBreaking 🪲
The lack of English voice acting wasn’t a dealbreaker. Tho relatively small, text was clear & legible for me, (plus easy to embiggen via Settings). I could tolerate that most objects & interaction points are tiny &/or barely visible, forcing constant reliance on highlight tool over organic exploration. I was even trying hard to power through the way perspective shifts with every tap as character moves around, rendering attempts to tap a pixel-sized object with a fingertip-sized fingertip extremely frustrating.
All that UI trouble would, I hoped, get better as I got more accustomed to it. I was willing to give this a lot more effort & benefit of doubt than usual, because I really wanted it to work out. The game’s concept & unique perspective are incredibly intriguing to me; I really like the graphic art & music; I love hearing other languages & folklore; and I always want to support modern full scale projects in the classic point and click adventure style. They put so much effort into an endeavor that’s as far from sure financial success as it gets, in an era when easy profits are available pushing clone whale trap games in an unregulated market. Devs willing to do the former rather than the latter deserve enormous credit.
But no amount of respect for the effort can overcome a true brick wall, universally unavoidable game breaking bug. Unfortunately, on top of the considerable UI trouble, this has one of those, and quite early on. At least one other review mentions it: barely 3-4 spaces into the game, simply approaching the castle gate causes instant crash to home screen or app’s main screen. It just doesn’t seem that the game’s code is able to play nice with modern iOS.
I hope that some day we iOS folk are able to get thru the actual front door. I’ll check occasionally for updates or news. Until then, gotta offload.

I can not read your dialogue
Increase the size of the text and use white or some other text color that does not blend into the background of the scene where our hero is talking to the soldier. It is near impossible to understand what is being said. I gave up on the game at this point. I will give your game another try if the text problem is corrected.

Crashes
Seems like a good game, great art, but I’m at the castle gate and it crashes every time I try to play. Playing on iPad Pro.
Fantastic!
How have I missed this incredible game? It’s really good, it is German language but with excellent English subtitles, brilliant graphics and characters and great story and plot. Also very funny. It reminds me of my favourite Daedalic games. Enjoying every minute.
Edit: just finished and wow absolutely magnificent, literally a perfect adventure game, great story, characters, puzzles and gameplay and voice acting to perfection! I did get stuck once and was lucky enough to find a walkthrough thank you hatNix! But for a game this long to only get stuck once is really good and means it was very logical.

Loved it
What a lovely game, good story , funny , and with great graphics. Reminded me of broken sword games. Made me want to visit Spree forest in Germany. It is all subtitled but still very playable.
I had a spot of bother at one location and contacted the compilers. I got an almost instant hint which put me in the right direction.
Definitely one to play if you liked the broken sword series.

Major flaw, please fix!!
So, I decided to purchase the game after playing the free part, now I wish I hadn’t. Once inside the town I found the pub where you have to dance with the woman. The music starts, and you have to duplicate her moves. Fine, the first time is just two moves, but now nothing is happening. The music plays, but none of the options show up on the screen. The characters just stand there for eternity. I have tried restarting the game, restarting my iPad, closing and reopening, but it just returns to that exact spot. Not even an option to return to the main menu. Game over, essentially. You need to fix this or return my money.
