Anomaly Hunter - Prologue
Oh man, such fun! I’ve played HOGs for years and consider myself an expert. I really like this new interpretation and storyline of time travel. It was a welcome challenge! I’m not sure why we’re finding anomalies or why the helper is so combative lol, but I can only assume the backstory will be in the finished product. I like the artwork and going through doors to find what you need. BGM was nice and not intrusive. It lets you know which time (past or present) you were in too so that’s helpful. I’d buy this in a heartbeat! Can’t wait until the game is finished!

Seems interesting, although it’s not very clear on what we’re supposed to be doing with these anomalies once we find them. Took me a little while to understand I had to go back in time and put the objects in their original place. The assistant’s are very vague, and don’t really help a lot. Still, once you get how it works, it’s a good game to pass time.

Hidden Folks
If you enjoyed searching for Waldo, you’re going to enjoy this game. However, there is no easily identifiable character like Waldo; instead, each area has a list of people or things to find. At first some are daunting, both due to the size of the areas and due to the size of the items (golf ball, for example). However, each item to find comes with a clue and the clue points to a bigger thing to search for. For example, one item to find is a mushroom and the clue is that a pig is about to sniff it out. So instead of looking for a little mushroom, you can look for a much bigger hog. In fact, I was never stuck on an area due to the smallest items, and the couple times I did get stuck a little, I just wasn’t seeing what was right in front of me. In fact, in addition to the verbal clues, there are auditory clues. I didn’t discover this until the last few areas when I heard someone crying out in distress and looked for the source of the sound, but it’s a nice feature.

Remember that kid from school who’d draw in his notebook, filling entire pages with massive amounts of tiny squiggles? Enter Hidden Folks, a HOG that captures that precise feeling and manages to distinguish itself through a combination of silly writing, small mouth sounds, and crowded, fully animated landscapes. Best of all, previous DLC-only content has been merged into one, so provided you don’t look up solutions, provides amazing gameplay value for every single age–especially small children.

Unfortunately, my computer was unable to handle the level “rescue her sister,” but the rest of the game was a tour-de-force. In the game, I can both run, and shoot a gun. Pressing the left mouse button shoots a gun, and C allows to crouch in one place. The game has very beautiful graphics, and it was enjoyable to see. I received many meaningful steam achievements. I recommend this game.

Hilarious game play. Can’t seem to figure out the safe yet, but everything else is self explanatory. The game is meant for people with a sense of humor.

Darkestville Castle
This game was so much fun and I’ve found a new universe and lore that I enjoy!
It is a point and click game with great humor, abiet extremely dark humor. Some small memes and easter eggs too scattered throughout. It’s not exactly a kids game, due to some language and subject matter, but it’s not too extreme either. It heavily reminds me of the old Monkey Island point and click games, which is a good thing as those are classics.
I got it on sale for about $10, I don’t think I’d pay the full price for the game, as it’s lacking in some parts but for my $10 I was extremely statisfied with what I had. I got about 8 hours out of the game, but as with most point and click games I get stuck/just wanna experince the story so I started to use a guide. Some of the items to me feel like you wouldn’t even think about trying them, so I guess if you had time on your hands and randomly trying to click on everything you’d get longer than 8 hours out of the game, but still 8 hours is pretty long for a point and click game. Or maybe if you’re smarter than me you’ll get it done faster. There’s also alternate dioulague options which extend gameplay if you want to go back and try all of the options and not just click on the obvious ones relevant to the plot.

TL;DR
Darkestville Castle is a solid, albeit short and relatively easy, 2D point-and-click adventure game in the style of the 90’s classics like Day of the Tentacle and Curse of Monkey Island. Smooth gameplay and lots of campy humor provide a nice “in-between” snack for fans of the genre, although at full price, roughly 7-8 hours of gameplay and little replay value might be too little value-for-money for some.
Summary
The game puts you in the shoes of Cid, the demon of Darkestville, on a quest to defeat his arch nemesis, Dan Teapot. The game is divided into a prelude, three chapters (four if you count the final scene of the game) and two interludes, which will take you from Darkestville Castle to the town of Darkestville, and eventually to Hell. Along the way, you’ll encounter between roughly 30 to 40 NPC’s, somehow involved in the various puzzles the game offers, and pretty much all of them with extensive (and often funny) dialogues.
