The count Lucanor is an excellent child's fairy tale in an horror way. I enjoyed this game nearly as much as Dolls, the movie by Stuart Gordon ; which is also mixed those themes but with a good bunch of humour in addition. There is also some humour in this game but not really the same, nor in same amount.

The game is slow-paced but that fit very well the storytelling and let the player enjoyed both beatufull pixel art and ambiance. By the way, as the game is rather short, it's not really a bad point.

From the innocent colorful first minutes to the weird and creepy following, the adventures of the ten years old Hans into the Count Lucanor's castle are well wrote and done. The attention is kept alive until the end. It was a pleasure to help Hans to investigate and solve all the mysteries and finally discover the truth about the castle. On its way, Hans will encountered some very peculiar characters.

Besides the narrative part, you have many things to do before reaching the ending. There are some rewarding puzzles, which are not too difficult nor too easy ; infiltration and investigation ; cat and mouse game with fatal enemies. Some of your choice or discovery may impact the following of your adventure and the end.

This indie game may be a real wonder if you play it like you'll watch a good 80's horror movie.
