Once upon a time, there was a poor boy named Hans who lived with his mother near the woods. On his birthday, the boy had no presents nor sweets. He got so upset he decided to leave home for good. Before he left, his mother gave him his grandfather’s cane, some cheese and three pieces of gold. Hans walked into the forest in search of adventure. Soon it was night and the boy was really scared, so he tried to go back. But then, a quaint kobold happened to cross his path and Hans decided to follow him to a castle. The kobold told him he would inherit great wealth if he passed a simple trial… guessing his name. Trapped in the castle, Hans will live a spooky mystery, fantasy and horror adventure to become the new Count Lucanor.

The god awful save system that ruined an otherwise enjoyable game
The game is fantastic in so many ways, it has good puzzles and the way new items unlock and characters reappear in new areas makes exploring the spooky castle compelling. The aesthetic is great and I genuinely was scared by enemies. I felt really intruiged by the games premise and story telling and desperately wanted to unpick what was going on. But there is a fatal flaw that frustrated me to the point I had to uninstall it. The only way to save is with the gold coins you find around the castle. Theyre pretty limited and you also need them to unlock items in the game. This meant that I had to save them up to progress but in doing so I would have to go long stretches without saving and mutliple times I died and lost a huge chunk of progress, forcing me to replay the same sections I had just beaten. This ruined the entire experience. I cannot reccomend this game at all since the save system completely. undermined everything I enjoyed so much. At this point I’ll probably just watch a playthrough to see the rest of the game rather than waste any more time replaying parts I already did.
