Hey, look. It's a point & click by way of Dragon's Lair, lovingly hand-drawn, little quicktime sequences here and there. Tons of impish fantasy charm, really nails the whimsical fairy tale vibe. Sure, there's some inconsistencies, some odd choices here and there that stand out, but nothing egregious.

And then it cashes in, tosses a little coin of dread into the well. I quite literally swore quietly under my breath when it happened. This was going to be one of those games, a game with a southpaw hookshot under its belt. To Tsioque's credit, it spends that coin well, plays off its strengths, addresses its perceived weaknesses. A welcome surprise in a game already enjoyed.
