Canvas Keepsakes

Pleased to get at least one more game review in. I was playing this one for about half an hour. It’s a choice-based art/fantasy/horror mystery story. And it’s another with a most excellent cat in it. Which I greatly approve of.

I really enjoyed playing this story right through. The player character can enter paintings and take keepsakes from them. And in the process discovers a much more dangerous threat which they have to face.

It was constantly a very tense playing experience. I often felt that I needed to read the text and make my next choice quickly before I ran out of time. I’m not sure that was a real concern, but the writing definitely added to the tension.

I was very happy with the ending I reached, though I expect there may be less positive outcomes to discover too.

Really good stuff. Thank you to the author.
