Review TsugaruMJS 4/5 · Jul 21, 2019
A solid, atmospheric game from a dated genre.
This is a point-and-click adventure game along the lines of Grim Fandango (but a completely different atmosphere and story, of course).

This is a point-and-click adventure game along the lines of Grim Fandango (but a completely different atmosphere and story, of course). I finished it 100% in one sitting with the use of a guide, as I normally do with point-and-click games, especially as I am attempting to crush through my backlog. I think it's a dated genre, and I'd rather just experience the story and get it over with instead of trying to figure out inane item combinations to progress. Overall, I thought the story and atmosphere of the game were charming and compelling, and I definitely recommend it to people who are interested in story-heavy games or old school point-and-click adventures. I am tempted to give this game a 3/5, but I don't want to penalize it for being a sort of archaic genre. It does what it intends to do very well, even if what it intends to do is not most people's cup of tea nowadays.
I got this game as part of a $1 bundle from Fanatical which contained like 12 games.
