  • This game had a really professional look and feel to it. I had no idea there would be so much of it. If it had ended in the first scene I would have still been really impressed but to deliver far more than that was a real accomplishement. The story kept me guessing as to which way the game would go and walked a perfect tight rope that might be described as "lude". Thoroughly enjoyed playing it. The artwork was top notch too.
  • The art and animation here is top notch and really great that it's fully voice acted. The puzzles are kinda just trial and error and pretty forgettable.
  • A very polished entry, with great art and music. It would have helped if the game made a bit clearer what to do in the beginning, and if the pace was a bit faster.

I liked this. It looks gorgeous, and the characters are entertaining, in both ages. Some good speech acting gives a lot of personality.

What a fun way to learn about Crete!

I really enjoyed this game! Fun premise, good dialogues and characters, nice puzzles that weren't too hard to solve but required some thought, lovely graphics (both backgrounds and characters).

And you even managed to add voice acting! Congrats to the team!


P.S. the cat disappearing was too funny and I love how every character in the present has some alcohol on them, just in case there's an emergency ;)

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

This is ridiculously good! The graphics and voice acting are great and the puzzles are fun too. I didn't get stuck anywhere but it also wasn't too easy. Loved it!

I had some issues in the browser version - the cursor gets stuck and doesn't go all the way to the edge of the screen. It was fine in the downloaded version though.

Thank you! Yes the browser has some issues. Might be because of the resolution if it's not 1920x1080.

Oh yeah, I'm having some resolution issues in my web build as well. Just wanted to let you know if you didn't already. :)

Looking good so far. The art and voice over is impressive.

I have a possible bug: I filled the jug with water before I knew about trading with the fish vendor. I then used it on the old man's garden and it's gone. I cannot offer it to the fish vendor to learn about the immaterial things anymore.

Ah, sorry, should've mentioned it in the walkthrough: you can also offer empty plate twice, same result.

Hahaha no worries. I got through on a second playthrough. Great concept!
