I have enjoyed my time in Dexter Stardust, and what a fair price!
Dexter pays homage to traditional Point n Clicks with a bit of a Broken Sword vibe to it.
I enjoyed the humor; it does not hit the “too cute” or trying too hard spot for me.
Dexter is episodic, there are four here. The first is a demo lasting about 15 minutes; it gives you a good preview of the game-play. The other chapters vary in length, game-play for me (no speed running here) is seven to eight hours. $7.99 USD is a great little deal!
The story is good, puzzles are well spaced and fair to the player. Not too easy, not too had; Dexter is an enjoyable game.
I’m on chapter four, I’m told this will end on a bit of a cliff-hanger; I don’t really care, it’s been fun.
The next chapter will include platforming. The dev tells me it will be of the “Mario Brothers” difficulty.
Controls/Options:
There is an auto-save with very well-placed checkpoints, in addition to four save slots.
Access your inventory by clicking a red button, there is a checklist there to remind you of your objective.
Director commentary is available and quite interesting.
The menu is a little odd, you access “new game” and then select the chapter you are on. You can replay chapters and access any chapter you like.
