The Cursed Legacy

First, know that this is a "to be continued game". It seems to end before it barely starts.

Second, it's not worth starting.

This game has some things going for it. The atmosphere is pretty well done and the setting is alluring. But there's very little going on. The story is paper-thin and exploration will not add to what is told to you. And, well, it relies to heavily on jump scares, the cheapest trick in the book.

But it's the gameplay that drags The Cursed Legacy down. The puzzles all have a good core, but they're realized through frustrating and tedious activities, all very poorly indicated. You'll spend less time thinking about solutions and more time figuring out what you're supposed to click on.

There are also awful "combat" scenes. Completely unnecessary, annoying, and in conflict with the atmosphere.

Finally, I had various technical issues. For one, it seemed locked at a pretty low resolution for me. It just wouldn't show my 4K as an option.

Oh, well. I would suggest that rather than continuing the "story", the dev should learn from what didn't work here and start over. There's definitely talent there. It just needs to be honed.
