Great setting

Recommendations by Timo Saarinen (Finland)

Smart puzzles and good writing don't alone make a good game. The setting and overall atmosphere are equally important.

Pleasant mix of history, fantasy and adventure. The characters are well-done with rich topic-based conversation system and the world has many nice details. The game also has more than one paths to the victory. This is currently my favourite piece of IF.

Very unique and beautiful game in snow-filled environment. To put this game in a single word, you can say it's cute.

Game with an excellent setting and well-made NPCs. Despite of some minor roughness and end coming too early this is worth of playing because of its pleasant atmosphere and vivid story-telling.
