holyanacondabatman rated The Red Pearls of Borneo

A browser game made in HTML5.

This game was so very hard at times, I'm eternally grateful for the hint function in the standard gameplay! The story was so riveting that I quite literally spent all day playing this to finish. The art is beautiful, and the subtle changes to the plantation map were such a nice touch. I managed to grow so attached to this cast of characters throughout the gameplay, making the ending that little bit more upsetting (but oh so very satisfying to watch the entire story play out). I can't wait for Delphine to return.

(MILD SPOILERS BELOW!!)

The only real negative piece I have to say is how difficult it was for me to figure out when to use the Mind's Eye function following the initial plantation setting, even using hints just lead to the same hint of finding all of the echoes. Even just making the Mind's Eye button pulse a little bit, or change colour when it's necessary would've saved me so much time and Googling!! Then again I could also just be a bit of an idiot...
