Review
Third and final game from the dev which I'll be playing for IFcomp. Unlike the map exploration we had in Sylvan Gardens or the mystery solving at the Opera,this is a much more straightforward fantasy adventure story.
We're off to see a solar eclipse. You get a choice of classes, which could open up unique options later on. Additionally you can invite a couple of folks to join you. I pretty much gave everyone I met an open invitation, so I'm not sure if the game branches significantly if you choose otherwise.
As with the other games from the dev, the writing is solid, the art and interface is nice, and the game has a beautiful and charming vibe. There is another interesting cast of characters, along with romances. I picked Tula for this one, and she was a pretty interesting character with an intriguing backstory and powers.
Gameplay wise, it's a lot more straightforward than the other IFcomp games from the dev. You make your journey through a fantasy landscape, talking with your companions and dealing with various encounters along the way. There are some puzzle sections later on, but none are too difficult, and you could probably brute force the choices if you're really stuck.
All and all, it's an adventure with the usual sweetness and charm I saw in the other games by the dev, and probably more suited for a casual and relaxing experience without running around and trying to find things.
