Pleasant change from usual HO/inventory adventure (no HOS in game) but uninspiring. Like most ERS games the game plays smoothly but seemed very short with abrupt ending - from the comments in the CE forum the premium version didn't add a lot to the length. Apart from the protagonists this episode is not at all similar to the first two Azada games.
If you're not too fond of HOS kept to a minimum here) but enjoy puzzles and exploration/adventure, this is the best game since Nightmare Adventures: The Witch's Prison (IMO stand-out game 2010). Apparently new devs but excellent game. This game also has an appreciable bonus play content; by that point every bit of extra time is very welcome. Enjoy and look forward to more games from this source.
