Panmorphia: Enchanted +4

Nice idea, but too difficult

Like the first game, it had a good vibe. The graphics, story, soundtrack, etc were all top notch. I liked the escape game concept too. They fit a lot of material in just a handful of screens, which was cool. But it was overly challenging. Two main reasons why are; many of the puzzles were not intuitive, and it was difficult to see the items that needed to be picked or clicked. I even had to turn my brightness up full, and still had trouble seeing things. If it wasn’t for the hint/solution help, I would haven’t gotten far at all.

:( Disappointing

Part of why I really enjoyed the first panmorphia was because it was such a huge world, and you got to explore it through the eyes of different animals, which is SUCH a cool concept! They didn’t use that concept at all in this one. You have one point of view, and only four screens (five if you include the underwater screen, which I dont, since it’s just a picture of a flat cave wall and a flashlight effect). I don’t know what happened here. The music and art are still top notch, but the gameplay, concept, creativity and story are barely enough to make a satisfactory demo, let alone a full game. I can see in the credits that it’s dedicated to a Mr Freddie Kittens (which is a fantastic name, I hope he is doing well), and that’s great, but I think if you had advertised this as a small dedication game based in the panmorphia universe, instead of the sequel to Panmorphia, people would be a lot less disappointed.

Resposta do desenvolvedor ,

Thanks for your feedback. It is mentioned it’s a room escape type of game set in the same universe in the description. Panmorphia #3 will be a full world again. Mr Freddie Kittens unfortunately passed away before the game came out, that’s why it was dedicated to him.

A different puzzle game

This game takes place in four screens which are full of things to do and all of them are intertwined. It is a refreshing change of pace in comparison to other similar games in which every screen has four things to do. Unfortunately there are two times were the next step depends on finding a small or hidden object in a poorly lighted screen, but it is not the norm and the hint system is very helpful in those parts. This game is entertaining enough for a weekend of quiet playing by a fire (or something like that), because you won’t spend more than two days on solving it. But they will be two days of puzzling entertainment which you won’t regret. In my opinion, the developers did a very good job. 👍👍👍
