After the demo, I definitely want to purchase this game. It really pulled my heartstrings. I'll just have to save that dog! I can't wait to play the full game.
It's a good game, but note to developers: the inventories "fan" is a pain! You have to keep clicking on it constantly to open and close. It should stay open for awhile if you need several inventories items.
I only tried the trial version to kill an hour, but it was super fun and I got hooked instantly! It's much better than the previous supermarket games. The characters are better thought of and the visuals much better than before.
Having read some of the previous comments I didn't expect much from this game, but was pleasantly surprised. The gameplay is a bit slow for adventure seekers, but the visuals are excellent, and I got totally immersed in the game. This is perhaps one for the gals, and I expect guys won't rate it so high because of the theme. There aren't too many hints, and you have to be careful to read the character commentary, but I found that added to the challenge. Nicely done!
The first two Dark Parables games might have set the bar a bit high, but in that light, I found this one a little disappointing. Still, it's very good compared with a lot of other stuff out there, hence four stars. But I found this game to be more about the visuals, which are great, than the challenges, which I found less intriguing than the previous games. Specifically, it's frustrating when the game allows you to zoom in on areas of interest, although there is nothing more to be found in that spot. You have to go back to every one of those scenes to look again in case you missed something every time you get stuck.
I'd like to give more than my 3 stars for the effort it took to make something a little different. But unfortunately my patience was really tested with this game. The objects are really small, and zooming in, to my embarrassment, I got slightly motion sick. It's not a good thing if a game gives you a headache and a queasy feeling in the pit of your stomach.
