Gefällt mir sehr gut! Die Rätsel und die Story sind top!
you hit a bat in the head with a cork, that's really messed up, that's animal abuse, and the main character sucks
Допустим вы купили эту игру для фарма карт, если да, я вас не осуждаю, если нет....

5/10
This game is not very good and I am not talking about fact that you need to build complex machine to scare bird that is right in front of you, that is problem with most click adventures. Nevertheless, to say that here I noticed it way too much and one time use tools are stupid.
This game also does not feel very entertaining. Graphically certain scenes look straight awful, but to be fair, maps in general are fairly well detailed and good looking. Also finding objects works alright and provided minigames are on different bases so not repetitive.
Overall, just mixed bag, but I simply got too bored to finish it fully.
Objetos ocultos é um gênero que é dificil de entender.
mas este é bem funcional, só não entendo como chegam a conclusão misturando um prato e um casaco.
Esse game possui apenas cartinhas steam.
E não demora muito a zerar.

Неприятный баг случился в игре. Прошёл я где-то 40 минут геймплея, вышел (автозапись при выходе), запускаю в следующий раз, а играть снова сначала (!) WTF. В игре не работает сохранение? Прошёл первую локацию в кафе, вышел, снова "играть", сохранение загрузилось. Значит всё таки работает. тогда что это было, почему прохождение первое сбросилось.? А переигрывать тоже самое уже не хочется. так как повторно неинтересно. Прочитал другие отзывы, и в них тоже указано про "рандомные" сбросы сохранения и взаимосвязи и причины почему это происходит никто не "уловил", так что если и играть в эту игру, то только за один раз без выходов.
游戏以突然降临的冰河世纪为核心设定
玩家化身主人公雅各布，为寻找失踪的爱人海伦踏上旅程
途中交织着古代巨人、神秘护身符等超自然元素
通过散落的笔记和线索逐步揭开冰封灾难的真相
典型的指向点击类解谜游戏，基本玩法就是寻找场景里的各种道具组合完成解谜
该类游戏常见的问题一个都不少，比如明明任何道具都可以砸开玻璃，游戏流程却一定要你组装某个指定工具
又或者场景里这么多工具都不交互，偏偏可以拾取一个在数个场景后才能用到的道具
本作分辨率相当令人汗颜，不过年代有些久远也能理解
整体只能说可以玩，但也就打完折后稍微符合游戏的价值
Хорошая игра мне понравилась, скоротать время самое оно казуальненькое.

I really enjoyed this game! ❄️🌨️ The icy adventure and survival challenges are exciting and immersive. The visuals are stunning, and the gameplay keeps me hooked. Perfect for fans of cold, gripping adventures! 🧊
Bardzo przyjemny tytuł. Polecam szczególnie osobom, które chciałyby rozpocząć przygodę z grami typu ukryte obiekty, ze względu na to, że zagadki cechują się niskim poziomem trudności. Mamy sporo scenek z ukrytymi obiektami. Grę cechuje bardzo ładna (zimowa) oprawa graficzna. Minusem są sporadyczne błędy w tłumaczeniu oraz dość krótki czas potrzebny na ukończenie gry (około 4 godzin). Bawiłem się dobrze, a nie jeden tego typu tytuł ukończyłem. Polecam

Insane Cold: Back to the Ice Age, developed by Mysterytag and published by My Way Games, is a hidden-object adventure that attempts to merge classic puzzle-solving with a cinematic sense of disaster and mythology. It tells the story of Jacob, an ordinary man whose life takes a surreal turn when he purchases a mysterious amulet as a gift for his wife, Helen. What begins as a simple act of affection spirals into catastrophe when the amulet triggers a supernatural frost that engulfs the entire city, turning it into a frozen wasteland. From that moment forward, Jacob’s journey transforms into a desperate race against time to rescue his beloved and uncover the ancient evil responsible for this unnatural ice age. The premise immediately captures attention with its mixture of mythological intrigue and end-of-the-world tension, offering a sense of urgency rarely seen in games of this genre.
The storytelling in Insane Cold balances between mystery and pulp fantasy, weaving together threads of ancient legends, dark conspiracies, and emotional desperation. The narrative unfolds through a series of cutscenes and environmental clues that gradually expose the truth behind the amulet and its connection to ancient frost giants intent on reclaiming the world. The player’s motivation remains grounded in personal emotion—Jacob’s love and guilt drive him forward, making his quest both cosmic and intimate. This personal touch gives weight to an otherwise familiar hidden-object adventure structure, lending the player a reason to care beyond the next puzzle or inventory screen. The tone remains consistently ominous, with frozen bodies, deserted streets, and whispering winds creating a backdrop that evokes a haunting sense of isolation. The world feels like a silent apocalypse, a place suspended between life and death, perfectly matching the game’s title and premise.
In terms of gameplay, Insane Cold follows the established conventions of hidden-object adventures. Players progress by exploring environments, collecting useful items, solving mini-games, and uncovering hidden-object scenes filled with cleverly disguised objects. There is a steady rhythm between exploration and puzzle-solving, with brief bursts of narrative momentum that push the story forward. Some of the puzzles offer creative mechanical twists, requiring logic and attention to detail, while others lean more heavily on traditional pattern recognition or item placement. The game features over two dozen hidden-object scenes and a similar number of mini-games, providing a few hours of content for those who enjoy methodical progression. Despite its adherence to genre formula, Insane Cold succeeds in evoking atmosphere through its setting and environmental design, where every snow-covered scene feels like a snapshot of a world frozen mid-scream.
The atmosphere is undoubtedly one of the game’s greatest strengths. The visual design, while modest, effectively communicates desolation and cold. Streets buried in snow, ice-encrusted buildings, and flickering lights behind frost-covered windows make for striking imagery. The color palette is dominated by blues and whites, reinforcing the chill that seeps through every frame. Accompanying sound effects—howling winds, cracking ice, and distant echoes—add a layer of immersion that compensates for the limited animation and static scenes. The musical score, though subtle, provides emotional undercurrents that elevate moments of discovery or fear. It is evident that despite budget constraints, the developers aimed to craft a cohesive mood-driven experience, and in this aspect, they largely succeed.
However, the game’s ambition is occasionally undercut by technical and design flaws. Some hidden-object scenes are cluttered to the point of frustration, with illogical object placement and inconsistent visual logic. A recurring complaint among players concerns mistranslations or mislabeled items, which can make certain scenes more confusing than challenging. At times, objects are so poorly described or camouflaged that the hint button becomes a necessity rather than an option. The narrative pacing also suffers from moments of disjointed progression, with unclear objectives or abrupt transitions between scenes. Backtracking is frequent, and the game occasionally fails to register item interactions, which can momentarily halt progress. These flaws do not destroy the experience, but they do make it feel rough around the edges—reminders that this is an indie title with more heart than polish.
Where Insane Cold redeems itself is in its overall sense of adventure and the scale of its world. There is a genuine attempt to tell a story that feels larger than life, filled with mythological implications and human emotion. The idea of battling against elemental destruction to save a loved one resonates on a universal level, and the game never loses sight of that emotional center. While some players may find the gameplay repetitive or the puzzles uneven, others will appreciate the combination of simple mechanics with a story that tries to transcend the usual hidden-object tropes. The balance of personal stakes and mythic conflict gives it a flavor that distinguishes it from purely domestic or detective-themed titles in the same genre.
Ultimately, Insane Cold: Back to the Ice Age stands as a game of contrasts. It offers moments of beauty, haunting stillness, and genuine tension, wrapped within a framework that is at times flawed but consistently earnest. Its narrative ambition and chilling world design make it worth exploring for fans of atmospheric hidden-object adventures, particularly those who value mood and storytelling over mechanical perfection. The game captures a sense of isolation and wonder that lingers even after the puzzles are solved and the mystery is unraveled. Though it may not achieve greatness in every respect, it succeeds in creating a frozen world that feels alive with mystery, love, and despair—a testament to how even a small, imperfect game can leave a lasting impression when built with imagination and sincerity.
Rating: 5/10
Игра не оптимизирована от слова совсем. У меня конечно ноут слабенький, но даже на нем подобные игры обычно не лагают как эта. Прошел только обучение, но дальше играть с такими лагами у меня нет никакого желания
Уж сколько раз твердили миру, что не стоит играться с разными непонятными для себя штуками. Но нет же! Какая-нибудь бабушка взламывает Пентагон, а главный герой представленной истории вызывает ледяных демонов...
Сразу скажу, что всё закончилось успешно, в том числе и моё прохождение игры! И это порадовало, конечно же! Были проблемы с зависанием игры, причём за всё время моей игры, а играл я около семи часов, она умудрилась зависнуть 16 раз. Посчитал потому, что после этого появлялся файл и велись записи в блокноте с отчётом на рабочем столе. В итоге у меня было 17 файлов. (Возможно это тонкий юмор игры, поскольку в игре мы собираем 17 душ и у нас есть дневник, где ведётся история.) Лечение происходило нажатием трёх клавиш: "CTRL"+"ALT"+"DELETE"= выход из системы и снова возвращение к сохранению. Но как-то случилось так, почти в самом начале прохождения, что я оказался перед зоной с поиском предметов, которую уже прошёл до зависания. Там необходимо было искать совершенно другой набор предметов, а потому мне дали совсем другой предмет в награду и я просто не смог проходить игру дальше, пришлось начать заново. Дело в том, что каждую зону поиска предметов нужно будет посещать два раза, чтобы в конце получить один предмет в награду. Поиск довольно интересный, где-то нужно доделать предмет, который ищется, а где-то найти дополнительную зону, где этот предмет лежать может. Тут и по мере всего прохождения у нас есть подсказки, которые подскажут куда идти и чего делать. Единственное, что подсказки не помогут в мини-играх, но последние можно пропустить. Так что, идём, ищем предметы и думаем, куда бы их применить, а если не справляемся, то подсказки нам в помощь. В самом конце, когда я после очередного вылета зашёл в игру, то я оказался в месте, где нужно применить предмет, чтобы началась мини-игра, но сам предмет уже пропал, поскольку мини-игру я прошёл до вылета. Я просто прошёлся в самой игре и оказалось, что можно продолжить прохождение. Так что, может и зря я переигрывал в самом начале и прохождение можно было как-то починить.
В общем, как я и говорил выше, несмотря на все сложности, игру я прошёл и мне она сумела понравиться. Верю в то, что проблемы могут быть решены, а тогда игра станет ещё привлекательнее. Но в любом случае: Души огонь не замёрзнет!
Неплохая искалка, но небрежная. Ролики ужасные, на дневник забили, некоторые подсказки нерелевантны, вертолёт вообще очень легко пропустить. В общем. ни рыба, ни мясо. 21 рубль потратить можно.
First of all: I love Hidden Object games. I play way too many of them. I don't mind bad graphics or one-use-knives or things like that, but this game was so bad that I actually did not finish it, which usually doesn't happen when I play Hidden Object games.
First of all: The click box of objects is ridiculously small. You need to move your mouse tip precisely to the right detail, otherwise absolutely nothing will happen. This is extremely annoying during the hidden object parts of this game.
The story is very lax, the main character doesn't have any personality, the pacing feels extremely strange.
Also, the puzzles are either ridiculously easy or way too hard.
I would absolutely not recommend this game to anybody who likes Hidden Object Games. There are better winter-themed Hidden Object Games out there.
Ich kann das Spiel gerade jetzt empfehlen, da es für 0,49 € im Angebot ist. Zudem hat es gute HO und Rätsel, die teilweise nicht so einfach und anspruchsvoll sind. Die Story und die Grafik sind auch ok. 8/10
Un jeu Point & Click Objets cachés pas trop difficile avec quelques énigmes bien pensées.
Le scénario nous porte dans un monde de glace où tout a été gelé par un Marcheur Blanc tout droit arrivé du Trône de Fer !
Les graphiques sont un peu passé, surtout au niveau des vidéos. Les objets cachés (en anglais) sont bien traduits et on revient souvent sur une zone à 2 reprises.
Il n'y a pas toujours de logique dans les objets utilisés mais c'est souvent le cas de ces jeux.
Le jeu se termine en 4 heures environ.
Un avis partagé mais je lui donne une note favorable.

"Insane Cold: Back to the Ice Age" is a Hidden Object puzzle game, the type you normally see on mobile app stores or even as browser apps. There's literally hundreds of these on Steam, mostly published by Artifex Mundi, many of them free on mobile app stores, but this one will cost you money on Steam. There's a ice age/frost theme to the game, but this is a just a veneer over a tired and overdone set of hidden object minigames and Adobe Flash tier puzzles, wrapped together with a bunch of static screens that you "move" through by tapping your finger on your iPhone screen.
While these kinds of games are popular amongst casual gamers, it's difficult to argue this is a great value proposition as a PC game, especially considering the price of this compared to the hundreds of free HOGs on the mobile app stores.
On the upside, the game does feature customisable controls and resolution, so at least some of the basic, minimum requirements have been met. Unfortunately there's a number of other technical defects and shortcomings which contribute to the game being difficult to recommend to gamers.
This looks and feels like a mobile app, but it doesn't seem to have made it to the app stores. It's unclear why this was put on Steam instead of the app stores it seems to have been designed for. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all).
Regardless, for all intents and purposes "Insane Cold: Back to the Ice Age" might as well be a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones and play games that might as well be mobile apps.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a modest spike in player counts for the game. But this only happened once, around the same time that trading cards were applied to the game... so this is just card idlers getting their cards and moving on. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with no merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards.
[b][quote][url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2017/01/18/steam-takes-down-art-of-stealth-after-developer-posts-fake-reviews/?sh=750e13e12354]Warning: Review Manipulation![/url][/quote][/b]This game features a number of fake positive reviews from accounts known to be in the business of review manipulation/paid reviews. They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product.
So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam?
"Insane Cold: Back to the Ice Age" is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend. This is also competing with over 11,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product.
This game will probably disappoint the normal player, which is why I'm giving it a thumbs down (and will list the cons of the game shortly.) But before I do, I want to say this game can be a great play if you can enjoy the fact that this game was not made well. I quite enjoyed it, but I was also high for most of the game. Highly recommend turning it into a drinking game with friends/ streaming the experience.
Notable mentions of my playthrough:
-Crashed when I switched the setting from fullscreen to windowed.
-Incredibly obnoxious sound plays every time you click an object. Music cuts out awkwardly.
-Many 3D cutscenes that feel very slow.
-Poor translation for some of the objects on the lists. (I spent 5 minutes looking for a butterfly. Gave up and clicked hint. The game meant bowtie.)
-A few really obtuse puzzles I ended up skipping out of frustration.
Ein Ja würde ich nicht geben wollen und auch eigentlich kein Nein, es ist zu anderen Wimmelbild Spielen einfach zu linear. Man ist gezwungen extrem genau die Stelle anklicken für Items oder Gegenstände sonst löst das Item oder Gegenstand nicht aus und die Übersetzung zu diesem Spiel ist mehr als Fragwürdig also ich hab dafür 0,59€ ausgegeben und das ist auch nicht angemessen man könnte lieber sagen 0,15€ dann wäre es gut zu verkaufen und zu Verkraften.
Забагованная фигня! И картотек,заявленных на странице игры не имеется!
Chilly!
Ładne, wyraziste widoki, ale niektóre nazwy poszukiwanych przedmiotów nie odzwierciedlają tego co trzeba podnieść (wachlarz = wiatrak, model = płuca, maska do oddychania = maska na Covid, motyl = muszka do garnituru, szklanki = okulary).
Niektóre zagadki są nieintuicyjne, a im dalej się gra to bezsens goni bezsens !!! np. korek od szampana żeby nietoperz odleciał, w płonącym helikopterze zamarznięty pilot, mieczem nie można rozwalić piniaty tylko pałką policyjną (no żesz kur..), kobra wychodząca z dziury w ziemi itp.
Czasem klika się na przedmiot i nic i dopiero za drugim razem gra załapuje, że to się klika. a już mnie kurw.. wzięła przy grze z przesunięciami żołnierzyków pod koniec gry ... nie jest to wykonalne !!!
Nie, nie i jeszcze raz NIE
Very nice wintery visual, good story. A good buy.
Generic hidden object game #238. It's not bad, it's just kinda boring. Very light on the plot, occasionally illogical. The icy locations look alright.
First time playthrough: 3 hours 54 minutes

《疯狂之冷：重返冰河时代》是一款备受期待的冒险解谜游戏，主打独特的冰河时代背景设定和丰富的故事线索。然而在深入体验过后，游戏的实际表现却令人颇感失望，以下是我对这款游戏的几点负面评测。
首先游戏的剧情设定虽具有一定的吸引力，但实际展开的过程中，叙事手法显得过于平淡，没有充分利用好冰河时代这一宏大背景。游戏主角的行为动机和情感表达模糊不清，导致玩家在推进剧情时难以产生强烈的共鸣，故事的推进缺乏张力和悬念。
其次解谜环节的设计不尽人意。谜题重复度较高，缺乏足够的创新，许多谜题解决方案浅显易懂，挑战性不足。而在某些关卡中，谜题难度的跳跃性较大，使得玩家经常会在简单的任务与毫无头绪的难题之间摇摆不定，游戏难度曲线的不平滑削弱了整体的游戏体验。
在技术层面上，游戏的画面表现与当今同类作品相比略显落后，动画效果与场景建模的质量不尽理想。同时游戏运行中偶尔出现的卡顿和bug也影响了游戏流程的顺畅性，特别是加载速度和存档系统的不稳定，对玩家的游戏体验造成了一定程度的困扰。
再者游戏的交互设计方面也有待改进。操作手感偏僵硬，角色的动作反馈迟钝，对于解谜类游戏至关重要的物理引擎表现一般，不少动作指令的反应不够灵敏，这些都无形中加大了游戏的操作难度。
最后尽管试图通过其独特的主题吸引玩家，但是在音效和配乐方面并未达到与其概念相符的水准，背景音乐循环播放，缺乏变化，难以营造出冰河时代的寒冷孤寂氛围，而音效的粗糙也让游戏沉浸感大打折扣。
综上所述，《疯狂之冷：重返冰河时代》虽有其独特题材作为卖点，但在游戏剧情、解谜设计、技术实现以及音画表现等多个方面都存在问题，导致其未能充分展现出应有的魅力。希望开发商能在后续更新中针对以上不足进行改进，为广大玩家提供更优质的游戏体验。
"Insane Cold: Back to the Ice Age" ist ein klassisches Wimmelbildspiel.
Der Winter kommt. Der Frost legt sich über die Gegend. Dummerweise kommt er in Gestalt eines Dämons.
Ich saß gerade in einem Cafe und wartete auf meine Frau. Es war unser Hochzeitstag und ich hatte ihr ein wundervolles historisches Amulett im Antiquitätenladen gegenüber gekauft. Ich sah sie durch die Scheibe des Cafes hindurch als sie plötzlich innehielt und zu einem Eisblock erstarrte. Eine riesige dunkle Gestalt zog sie fort und ich mache mich auf den Weg, meine Frau wiederzufinden.
Die Geschichte wirkt - genretypisch - ziemlich hahnebüchend. Wir üblich ist eine uns nahestehende Person verschwunden, und wir müssen sie suchen. Das ergibt viele mögliche Schauplätze und wenn man noch ein wenig Magie dazumischt, muß man auch gar nichts mehr logisch erklären.
Spielmechanisch sind wir im ganz klassischen Wimmelbild-Wahnsinn, in dem es in Screens darum geht, bestimmte Objekte zu finden. Wie meist üblich kommen noch einige Schiebe- und Kombinationsrätsel hinzu, alles aufgelockert durch ein paar Cutscenes. Ein rudimentäres Inventar haben wir sogar auch, in dem wir wie in einem Adventure Gegenstände sammeln.
Logik oder irgendeine Form von Stringenz sollten wir allerdings nicht erwarten. Das Spiel gehört zu denen, die sich nicht darum scheren, ob die Rätsel oder die Geschichte irgendeinen Sinn macht. Alles wirkt wild zusammengewürfelt und meist weiß man gar nicht, wieso man eigentlich gerade nach irgendwas sucht.
Das fällt aber auch nicht weiter auf, denn die Rätsel sind meist dermaßen simpel, daß man gar nicht dazu kommt, über irgendwelche inhaltlichen Fragen nachzudenken. Das Game spielt sich einfach so nebenher weg. Häufig sind gefundene Sachen sogar direkt neben dem Ort, an dem sie eingesetzt werden müssen.
Das Spiel bietet wenig Herausforderung, ist aber technisch zumindest in sauberem Zustand. Alles funktioniert unproblematisch so wie es soll. Grafik und Sound sind für den Genrestandard zumindest akzeptabel.
Ein wirklich solider Vertreter des Wimmelbild-Wahnsinns. Wer das Genre mag und sich nicht viel um Logik schert, der findet hier einen durchaus unterhaltsamen Vertreter.

а где как указано коллекционые карточки????
So the Night King shows up, steals this guy’s wife and drags her around in a frozen coffin. Oh ya did I mention you have to collect the souls of people who are more frozen than a popsicle? Overall a fine HOG, it had its imperfections but was still a good time. I loved the sorta weird character models and there was semi-frequent cut scenes which make the game more enjoyable. The puzzles were straightforward and mostly easy with the occasional more tedious one mixed in. At times figuring out the next thing to do wasn't always obvious but you eventually can figure it out or do a hint. The hidden object scenes are not as easy as other HOGs I've played, the hidden locations in the scenes are not obvious from the beginning and the click range needs to be pretty exact. I would have loved it if the game was voice-acted, I think it would have really upgraded the play experience with the characters and cutscenes.
I now know what other reviews meant by CLUNKY. It feels sluggish and a lot of the time you have to be pixel perfect when using items. Its acceptable if you pay under $1 for this but I wouldn't pay more than that.

I'll be honest here, the game itself is a generic hidden object game that every mom on facebook has played. But somehow its lore and dare I say it, repetitive music gave me a sensation of "this game is very mediocre but the same 2 pieces of music give me a sense of doom and depression that makes me feel sorry for the characters in the game." Regardless of its lore, the video cutscenes are laggy and primitive despite coming out in 2014 but I am willing to put that aside as well.
It wasn't a good game to begin with, but a little over an hour in it lost my save data. Not worth going through that again.
Шляпа. Прошел бысто. Много недочетов. Нет карты. Не всегда срабатывает использование предметов. Если брать, то по скидке в 90%. Нет коллекционных карточек, нет достижений. Сюжет говно.
so bad. so stupid
Dieses Spiel ist altbacken und zäh zu spielen, aber das könnte man bei einem geringen Preis noch hinnehmen. Gar nicht geht jedoch, dass sich das Spiel nicht zu Ende spielen lässt weil es sich im letzten Viertel plötzlich nicht mehr öffnen lässt. In dem Popup mit der Fehlermeldung wird man aufgefordert den dump log und den dump call stack zu den Entwicklern via angezeigten Email-Adresse zu senden. Nach langem Warten kommt von den Entwicklern, dass dieses Spiel nicht von ihnen ist. Nur dieser eine Satz mit drei Ausrufzeichen. Abgesehen davon, dass so eine Antwort ziemlich unfreundlich ist kommt noch die Dreistigkeit dazu den Kunden für dumm zu verkaufen, weil diese rüde Antwort von genau der in der Fehlermeldung angezeigten Email-Adresse versendet wird. Ich habe um Aufklärung gebeten, schrieb sie auch zusätzlich in Englisch an, weil ich ein sprachlich bedingtes Missverständnis vermutete. Das hat genauso wenig gebracht wie die erste in Deutsch geschriebene Email. So ein Verhalten ist mir noch nie begegnet, deshalb und weil das Spiel öde und sich nur zäh spielen lässt, kann ich nur abraten dieses, selbst bei einem günstigem Angebotspreis zu kaufen.
Ach ja, noch etwas: Steam erstattet den Kaufpreis nicht, weil man ja schon 2/3 gespielt hat.
This is... Not that bad actually. It depends on what you are looking for in the H.O.G. (Hidden Object Games)...
If it's story: It needs work. Usually the HOGs I play have questionable story stuff and I ignore them, since I am there to click and find things... So if you don't think about it... It's fine >.> But I just wish they didn't make us care about the souls we sacrifice... SERIOUSLY. THEY WILL NOT BE COMING BACK! Sometimes it is best not to know... And does the love interest have teleporting powers? She was further away and needs to travel by sea... HOW THE HELL did she get all the way to HIM? Lol!
Graphics? I don't care if they are good or not. As long as the game play is fun. You can see the graphics and gauge it by yourself above. Seriously, if a game looks REALLY good it scares me to play it... It's a burden on my PC, so I tend to stick to older games... Maybe because I am older too... Old games need care too... :>
Music? I don't think there is any... I think it's just there to set the atmosphere. I am okay with that. Can't do my puzzles with something crazy playing in the background anyway.
HOG game play itself? First, the designs are nice. I like the frost theme. I didn't like sacrificing people/ learning whom I sacrificed. The initial "find this item to stick it here" is what you are used to and it works... As long as you don't question it too much on some... Like the rubber band on the handle? I can take that off with my hands... >.> The "Find this/illuminated area" items are fine too. Just one thing... SOMETIMES it doesn't MEAN WHAT IT SAYS. Rarely, but it does it. For example: There is a bottle of green liquid above. It reads "how do I reach it?" What do you do? I looked for a ladder or something else to get that item. What do you REALLY do? You put a skull and crossbones label on it. Yep.
There are also things like get this "cup", but it's a glass... But blah... As long as it's quite similar, you'll figure it out.
For ANYONE having trouble SACRIFICING ALL SOULS, including your last one? The HINTS wont lead you in the right direction! When you land on the snow island (after traveling by sea)? There is a mini helicopter that is on fire on the ground. Fire extinguish that sucker and BAM = 16 souls. If you get there and it's not 16... You will have to go back and find the one you are missing. You CAN'T progress without 16 + the floating soul = BOOM.
Oh and the game crashes if you try to switch from Full Game Resolution to a Smaller one. I found a work around: Start in Full Screen (you have no choice on that). Put in your random name... Then start the game... Watch the cutscene... Change options then. You will now be able to play in Non-Full Screen mode. Voila!
Overall, I was entertained for a certain amount of hours with this game and as long as those poor souls live on and went onto something better... It's all okay. That said... Thank you! ^-^ :D :>
Für so günstig kann man nichts falsch machen es fehlt zwar eine Karte ist aber auch nicht zu schwer habe schon schlechtere Spiele für einen höheren Preis erlebt
Mein Tipp zugreifen
I'm crazy for HOG so I think that's the only reason I have finished this game. I don't know if other people experienced crashes, but this game crashed 10 times during my play. The first crash happened after just half an hour. When I restarted the game there was no sound any more. I had to uninstall the game and start over. I didn't mind the slow pace, bad English or non-sense solutions. It's on par with most other game in the genre. I liked the puzzles as they seem quite challenging. The crashing however greatly reduced the enjoyment. You don't know when it will happen again and erase part of your progress. The last crash happened four times at the same spot near the end when I was about 95% done. Yes I restarted four time to get past one scene. After that it's OK. Overall I don't recommend this game unless you're looking for a game to test your patience.
Horrible clunky HOG that is not worth your time. Not even for HOG lovers.
pros.
ok play time (around 2 hours and 45 minutes)
cons.
very boring
very clunky and buggy
i had one blue screen while playing the game
they very first time i launched the game it crashed
no bonus story
repetitive music
no wide screen support
the items in the UI are not in the right position if you play in full screen
no voice acting
the game is showing it has cards BUT IT DOESN'T!
overall i was very bored after a moment playing the game the bugs did not help it.
2/10 stay away

good puzzles
There were a couple lost-in-translation style issues like a bowtie being referred to as a butterfly and a smoking pipe being referred to as a tube (which could be dialect for all I know). There was also a little bit of back-and-forth that you had to do as far as going back to the hidden object areas to unlock a new item, and I had to use hints to find those because there's no real indication for it. However the backtracking is never too severe. There's also some good accessibility in that if any of the puzzles are too hard, you can skip them with no penalty, which is fantastic! I personally had to skip a couple of them because I didn't understand them well enough, and the game didn't punish me or make me feel stupid for it. In all, I really enjoyed the game and finished it in a single sitting!
It was really a good hog game but unfortunately after 5 hours of gameplay my save got deleted suddenly, I tried to start playing it again from the beginning but I got some error and the game crashed and can't continue playing it anymore.
I tried to fix it by reinstalling and deleting my saves but it didn't help.
I don't want to waste my time anymore, I will continue *imagining* playing it by watching the game walkthrough from Youtube.
A semi-decent Hidden Object Game, but it suffers in a few areas. You sometimes get stuck and have to backtrack several screens because "Oh, I need to do another hidden object game in the location I did one earlier" and it fails to give you any indication that you have to go back to a previous location.
Plus, it has no idea how to handle modern screen resolutions and so plays in some weird, squashed window.
An OK Hidden Object Game, but there are far better ones out there.
Tahle hra má potenciál. Líbí se mi prostředí, příběh, bezvadné je, že je i v češtině. Neskutečně mě však na ní štve opětovné vymazání savu. Nebaví mi dojít jeden den do půlky hry a opětovně začínat znovu od začátku. Už se mi to stalo bohužel 2x. Hra by se měla automaticky při opuštění hry uložit a při dalším spuštění načíst v uloženém bodě.
Další věc, kterou jsem ale schopna překousnout, že při řešení to vyžaduje přesný klik na určité místo na věci, mnohokrát se mi stalo, že jsem klikla kousek vedle a hra mi to netolerovala, stejně tak, když jsem přikládala jednu věc k druhé, kolikrát mi to vrátilo do inventáře, i když to tak bylo správné zkombinovat. V tomto směru jsem však trpělivá. To mizení uložení však tolerovat nebudu!!!
Jinak nic proti této hře nemám. Kdo si ji chce zahrát, doporučuji ji dohrát na jeden zátah.
Jacob part à la recherche d'un étrange personnage qui a enlevé sa copine Helen et congelé toute la ville. Arrivera t'il à résoudre les puzzles sur son chemin pour y arriver?
Les +:
- Dans la lignée des Point And Click qu'on peut trouver chez Big Fish Games (MCF et Haunted Legends surtout), si vous aimez ce style vous devriez apprécier (notamment les décors).
- Difficulté correcte, le jeu est généreux sur les solutions donc elles sont à utiliser avec plus ou moins de parcimonie en fonction de l'expérience de jeu que l'on souhaite.
Les =:
- Jouabilité bonne mais parfois il faut la pointe du curseur pile au bon endroit pour pouvoir déclencher quelque chose, à d'autres endroit le jeu est beaucoup plus large. Bien tout tester si ça bloque.
- Bande son un peu redondante (il doit y avoir 2 titres max + les bruitages) mais qui retranscrit bien une certaine atmosphère.
- Certains passages du jeu nécessitent un bon anglais (ou du moins un dico à proximité). Ne pas oublier de récupérer les [spoiler]âmes des congelés avec le médaillon[/spoiler].
- Histoire qui fait l'affaire, même si une fin moins expédiée n'aurait pas été plus mal.
Les -:
- Animations/interface vieillots, le jeu est de 2014/2015 et on pourrait lui donner facilement 10 ans de plus.
- Quelques bugs sur les solutions qui pointent au mauvais endroit/sur le mauvais objet, mais rien de très gênant en essayant de rester logique.
Au final un Point And Click qui aurait mérité une interface un peu plus récente mais sympathique, avec une logique dans la moyenne du genre (je ne comprends pas trop les critiques dessus? oui faire un puzzle pendant que le vieux dans sa boutique fait un infarctus ce n'est pas logique nous sommes d'accord, mais bon courir après un géant gris qui gèle tout sur son passage non plus...), et une durée de vie d'une dizaine d'heures. A essayer en ce moment pour être dans l'ambiance, ou cet été pour se rafraichir.
Przyjemna gierka za parę groszy. Trochę za niski poziom trudności, mało zagadek i łamigówek, a więcej rzeczy typu znajdź przedmiot i go użyj.
very basic and boring
Nice game
No steam trade cards !!!
Overall this is a good game and definitely worth playing.
The plot is not great and some object use towards the end is a bit wooly but that isn't enough for a thumbs down.
Den Daumen nach oben gibt es von mir nur so grade eben. Es zieht sich sehr und die 5 Stunden Spielzeit haben sich angefühlt wie 10 Stunden - aber keine guten 10 Stunden. Ist aber im Grunde ok für ein Wimmelbild-Spiel, vor allem für den Preis.
Cons:
- durchgängig nur ein einziges Musik-Sample, keine Abwechslung, ich kanns nicht mehr hören.
- Wimmelbild-Szenen erscheinen in Bereichen, die schon längst abgegrast sein sollten und wo ich dementsprechend erstmal nicht schaue.
Pros:
- das Thema insgesamt mit Eiszeit und Froids hat mir sehr gut gefallen
- ich mag das begleitende Tagebuch, in welchem die Geschichten der Menschen erzählt werden, die wir eingefroren vorfinden
edit: [spoiler] Am Ende finden wir ja noch Mr. Hope, den Antiquitäten-Händler eingefroren vor. Wenn wir zurücklaufen zum Anfang sitzt er da aber weiterhin schlafend auf seinem Stuhl. xD [/spoiler]
Jeu avec un scénario si décousu que'on ne comprends pas où chercher les objets et on tourne en rond sans savoir que faire pour faire avancer l'intrigue.
ok
A nice game with great graphics and history. The dialogues are not too long and it is fun. The mini-games are not difficult I would recommend the game,
This game is really well done. I enjoyed the story so much and most of the puzzles throughout. I think this game should cost more because it's really worth more, it's really worth playing and paying for it! Personally, it's the story that makes this game amazing! Of course the graphics and the design too makes it amazing, but I loved the story more.
it was ok, not the best, not the worst. enjoyable enough
Вот изначально хотелось поставить плюс игре и рекомендовать её. Но когда меньше, чем к середине игры ты понимаешь, что хочешь, чтоб главный герой помер ещё в самом начале, это что-то да значит.
Из плюсов:
- "О, белые ходоки!"
- Вау, у мужика прямые руки (но, к сожалению, чем дальше, тем меньше ими пользуется. Как, собственно, и мозгом.)
- Дневники в таких играх всегда радуют, так как показывают внимание разработчиков к деталям.
- От***деть летучую мышь шампанским было лучшим действием в этой игре.
И пошли минусы:
- Анимация. Отвратительная анимация. Но создатель явно думал не так, ибо ролики всунуты куда только можно и нельзя. Медленные, плохо проработанные и тупо растягивающие время игры. Вот, кстати, принципиально не пропускала, чтобы глянуть какое будет по времени прохождение.
- Каждая сцена поиска предметов повторяется дважды. Но, во-первых, все найденные предметы снова на своих местах. Во-вторых, вы никогда не поймете, когда нужно вернуться в локацию и проверить сцену вновь. Ужасно, особенно под конец.
- Откровенно долгая прогрузка. И ладно бы только на сценах анимации. Но нет, иногда она будет вас поджидать и на переходах между локациями.
- Отсутствие карты и быстрого перехода. Да, тут все прямо и линейно, но это значительно сократило время игры.
- Время игры тянули как могли и это отчетливо заметно. Ну сделайте вы хорошую игру на час, чем посредственную на 2-3. Серьезно.
- Сюжет? Какой сюжет? Вот вам мистика, спасение возлюбленной и белые ходоки, развлекайтесь.
- Я искренне жалела большую часть игры, что ГГ не помер ещё в начале. Было бы легче.
- Скучно и затянуто. 17 душ. 17, Карл! Слишком много.
И да, игры такого типа обычно успокаивают и дают возможность расслабиться. Так вот.
Эта игра исключение из этого правила.
heerlijk puzzelen en struinen...
I don't really want to give Insane Cold a hard thumbs down as it was an atmospheric, wintry game in which you play some dude looking for his girlfriend in a world suddenly frozen over by these Ice God types called "the Froids". It's colorful and simple enough if you're looking for a casual game with not much challenge, but as other reviewers have commented, there are translation problems, which you'll definitely find frustrating.
There's no achievements so don't expect any extra challenge, and there's no trading cards either, despite being listed as such. Had it come with either of these it would have elevated an otherwise generic HOG but there's very little to get excited about no matter how easy-going it is.

Очень клевая игра в своем жанре)
Now, I love HOG in general, but this one... it didn't click. At all. I finished only because I paid for it and wanted to see the end.
I can deal with some language issues, especially at this price range, but some translations are just... completely off. Like, it's asking me to polish a trumpet, but in the game I had to actually oil a spyglass. No big deal really, I can live with it.
But... in my opinion, the story lacked substance. I can see what they were going for, but they sadly fell short of it. There's too much backtracking between scenes just to do 1 thing, over and over, that a lot of the game feels like you're just jumping between the screens instead of actually playing the game.
And the puzzles... didn't have a consistent difficulty level. Some were easy enough that you could do it in a couple of clicks, others I nearly ripped my hair out before just... skipping.
I sadly can't recommend this game. It doesn't feel like much of a loss since it's so cheap, but even so, I can't recommend it.
Edited to add: I only have extra playtime now because they added card drops. So after giving it a short attempt but feeling just the same as the first time, I just let it run as I slept. Still not worth the money.
Crashed 3 separate time in only 3 hours and I was unable to finish it because it wouldn't allow me to absorb the last soul because the medallion needed more power to do so, yet it was telling me to absorb that persons soul....what? Also, a lot of the puzzles only seemed to have 1 solution or were just too easy to solve.
The Trading cards are a lie!
A mediocre point & click at best, with poor translations. You'll end up rocking the hint button, as hunted items a misnamed, and mini game instructions are poor
1/10
Long game. Good puzzles.
Badly made, UI is off. Unable to click on all items in the inventory, since some of them are hidden behind the UI. No scroll bars. UI also hides part of the HO scenes and part of the written words for the HO scenes. Items also not centered in their inventory "boxes". Makes them hard to select.
Story-wise: Does not work for people who don't believe in "souls" being there to collect in artifacts. It's just weird. Played games where suspension of disbelieve is easy. This one, not.

언제 나온건지는 잘 모르겠지만 게임이 전반적으로 너무 옛날 게임 같아요. 사고 잊어서 환불 못하고 그냥 플레이 하긴 했는데 전반적으로 그다지.. 소리도 제대로 안 나오고 미니게임 클리어 하면 나는 효과음은 완전 깨고...
이런 류의 게임 정말 좋아하는데 이 게임은 별로였어요.
[h1]Insane Cold: Back to the Ice Age - средний представитель казуалки на поиск предметов, полностью оправдывающий свою цену (по скидке).[/h1]
Игра зашла, однако частенько пригорало от нелогичности некоторых действий и применения предметов. Сюжет на 3 из 5, как раз таки тоже из-за нелогичности. Отдельный плюс за русский язык и анимированные вставки. Качество анимации оставляет желать лучшего, но это в любом случае лучше чем просто мыльное слайдшоу. Во время игры багов не обнаружил. За стоимость игры тоже небольшой плюс.
К сожалению ни карточек, ни ачивок нет. На странице игры указано что карточки есть, однако это не правда.
Игра - хороший таймкиллер, рекомендую
Моя оценка 5 из 10
Poor HOG with achievement issues. Some didn't drop for me initially although I'd met the requirements. Terrible translations abound. When polishing a trumpet actually equates to [spoiler]pouring oil on a telescope[/spoiler] you know you've got problems. Why these cheapskate companies can't be bothered to do things properly beats me. They'd rather annoy their customers. Well, I wasn't annoyed but I really can't recommend this. There are too many annoyances, no map so no way to know that a HOS has opened up somewhere remote, goals are so unclear I had to use hints several times. It's just too tawdry despite the frozen theme, which might have been enjoyable had the game been at least passable.
Leider zieht sich das Spiel zu lange. Es ist mehr oder weniger komplett linear. Man muss extrem genau die Stelle anklicken, die sich die Entwickler gedacht haben, sonst löst das Item nicht aus.
Die Übersetzung ist fragwürdig.
Einfach nicht machen. Auch nicht für 2€.
lovely game, good artwork and music. Fun puzzles and runs well so worthwhile if you enjoy puzzle and hidden object games.
저화질 HOG. 번역은 준수한 편.
카드가 안나옵니다..

I had a lot of fun with this one.. nothing amazing but better than average adventure imo. Definitely worth it on sale.
Niestety jedna z gorszych pozycji HO w jakie miałem okazję grać. Koślawy interfejs, kiepskie tłumaczenia, dość naciągana fabuła i przede wszystkim bensensowne zadania. W ciągu całej rozgrywki potrzeba coś przeciać z 10 razy i co ciekawe, za każdym razem trzeba poszukać nowego ostrego przedmiotu - nasz bohater wywala wszystko po 1 użyciu. Największy kretynizm, to gdy otwieramy prezent od porwanej przez "wrogów" żony bohatera i wyciąmy z niego nowiutki scyzoryk po czym znika on po 1 użyciu... serio? Wywala ostatnią rzecz jaką dostał od żony? Przebite to zostało chyba tylko raz poprzez konieczność wykradzenia staruszkowi z witryny jakiegoś starożytnego berła, aby zbić nim szybę we wraku autobusu, w którym walają się cieżkie przedmioty, takie jak chociażby urwane siedzenia, które na filmiku bohater sam przestawia... Niby szczegóły, ale baaardzo istotne. Nie polecam.
If you are a fan of winter/ice/cold and Norse legend, then this game is for you. Insane Cold: Back to the Ice Age is a hidden object adventure game. You play as Jacob who was sitting in a pub, waiting for his girlfriend Helen to celebrate their anniversary while looking at mysterious amulet in his hands. The moment he saw his wife, the amulet activated and a creature showed up behind her. It all happened in a few seconds, Helen was kidnapped and the whole area turned into an icy land. Learning that this artifact is the one behind this disaster, the man who sold you the amulet revealed the solution, you'll need (to save) seventeen brave souls in order to break the amulet and save your wife.

The story is decent, not bad but it was dragging in the middle. You'll learn the story behind each soul you save, it is all written in the journal +80 entries which I found really good and adds to the story. The game has no voice over as it is quite dated, same going for the animation cutscenes, you can tell the game is old from those, however, the artwork of the locations are really good.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1479531618
Hidden objects scenes are good, you'll visit each one twice and sadly the items you picked before are presented the second time you visit the scene, the second issue of the HO is when you pick an item, sometimes you need to click twice in order for the game to register you actually clicked it. Another thing I disliked is the lack of map and fast traveling, there is some backtracking and you'll need to memorize where to go, sometimes walking around aimlessly to find an active hidden object scene waiting for you. Puzzles are fun, some of them are difficult to solve.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1479531765
Pros:
+Nice artwork.
+Fitting music.
+Decent story.
+Variety of puzzles.
+Useful journal.
Cons:
-No voice overs.
-No map. (Some backtracking required)
-Slow game.
-No steam achievements.
It is not a bad game if you are a HOG lover or enjoy puzzles games.

Ok, mi aspettavo di meglio, lo ammetto: la grafica è buona, la colonna sonora anche, ma davvero discutibile sulla logica soprattutto nell'applicazione degli oggetti da trovare, al 95% cose che usi una volta sola e spesso un poco nonsense. Sarà che ne ho giocati troppi, ma non si può parlare nemmeno di enigmi in questo caso. Nonostante il lavoro che ci sta dietro, che di certo non è poco, e il costo irrisorio (l'ho preso pure scontato) a mio parere non merita la sufficienza. Ed è un peccato. 5/10
[b]In a nutshell:[/b]
Tedious gameplay, unclear objectives/course of action, weird item usage, agonizing music, no map, lots of backtracking, no VOs, dumb flavor text, confusing puzzles...shall I go on? Please, for the love of sanity avoid this one, despite such a low price. I wouldn't recommend it even if it was free.
[b]The Long Version:[/b]
It took me days to finish this game. Not because it was particularly difficult, but because I kept taking breaks to get away from it. I didn't even finish it before starting to write this review, partly to procrastinate because I didn't want to go back to it. That should already give you a good idea of the experience you can expect. I did complete it for the sake of this review, but that was a stupidly masochistic choice on my part.
[h1]Gameplay/Story[/h1]
No fast travel or even a map. I'll repeat that: NO MAP. And there's quite a bit of required backtracking and running in circles, because many objectives, hotspots, or next steps are so unclear. I can't count how many times I had to grudgingly use the hint button because of that. Thankfully there are no achievements to screw up.
Flavor text and P&C items were sometimes ridiculous. Another reviewer mentioned the 'spear' comment. Based on the bus map, the game takes place in modern New York City, so why the heck would someone's first thought be "I need a spear for that!" Moon logic everywhere. And while I like the idea of the soul-collecting amulet, the descriptions of people you use it on are a bit over the top. Especially the guy who looked like he was hiding in the fridge.
I think I'm going to avoid any HOPAs involving winter/ice storylines for a long time, because if I read one more friggin variation of "[i]I have to find a way to melt this![/i]" my brain is going to implode and leak out of my ears. Yes, it's an ice-related plotline, so melting lots of stuff is par for the course, but come on. There IS such a thing as overdoing a plot device.
The inventory auto-collapses, and there's no way to lock it. So have fun playing hide and seek with your items.
[h1]HOGs & Puzzles[/h1]
HOGs...I dunno. Not awful, but below average. Art is ok, but there are mislabelled items and combination/2-step items that are not obvious choices, making it more of a chore than necessary.
Puzzles were hit and miss. Some painfully easy, others so impossible that I rage-skipped them, which I rarely ever do. There's one in particular where you have to swap fighters to the opposite side of a board, but they can't be on the same line as the opposing color, so movement is severely limited. tableflip.gif
[h1]Graphics[/h1]
2D background/item art is ok. Typical ("pretty but boring") for the genre. The 3D characters are animated a lot better than most mixed style games, though.
I experienced frequent screen-tearing when changing locations. I didn't even think that could be an issue in a primarily 2D game, but it happened almost every time I moved. My computer settings were no different from when I played any other game of this type, including much older ones.
[h1]Music/Sound[/h1]
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do play this game, for whatever masochistic reason, do your brain a favor and turn the music off from the get-go. Trust me. Seriously. Listen to Pandora or something instead. Because once you get those five godawful repeating notes stuck in your head, you're done. Good luck trying to get them out again. I'd say you'd thank me, but hopefully you won't have to find out what I'm trying to spare you from in the first place.
No VOs to comment on.
[b]To sum up:[/b]
No. Just no.
I really wanted to give this game a positive review for all the work that clearly went into it, but I just can't. The further along I went, the worse it got. The use of objects is just stupid in some cases like it specifically says "if I had a spear, I could pry this door open" Specifically a spear and only a spear? Really? And then an antique scepter is used just to smash a window. And you have at least 5 different cutting tools throughout the game - one of which was a gift from your girlfriend which you definitely would have held on to - but you drop them each after only one use. Also, I HATE it when games like this reactivate previously used hidden object scenes with no indication to the player. How am I supposed to know that a HOS three screens back is suddenly active again? It leaves the player wandering aimlessly.
But what really pushed me over the edge to a thumbs down was a game-breaking glitch. I did a HOS and was supposed to receive a sapphire at the end - no sapphire showed up and I was not able to progress. I refuse to replay 3.5 hours of a subpar game, so I guess I will never see the ending. How disappointing.
Карточек нет и достижений тоже, скипнула только одну загадку отстальные решила с удовольствием)
Игра средняя по качеству, но приятная)))
Спасибо разработчикам:)
Здравствуйте, друзья, сегодня завершил проходить Insane Cold: Back to the Ice Age. Ставлю ей максимально отрицательную оценку из-за критических ошибок и прочих технических моментов! Очень обидно за игру, ибо она очень даже ничего. Сюжет и атмосфера для подобного жанра впечатляют, просто безумно красивые видеоролики (для подобного жанра, повторюсь), отличная музыка, хорошие локации.
Но все плюсы летят в унитаз с таким техническим подходом. Игра вылетает, сохранения слетают, а некоторые нельзя запустить повторно. Мне лично пришлось начинать игру с самого начала 3 раза! Первые 2 в самом начале, а вот третий раз я почти завершил игру. Это очень сильно раздражает и вызывает гнев.
Во всех играх по поиску предметов есть дневники с заметками, так в Insane Cold: Back to the Ice Age несколько страниц поленились исправить после редактора. Там вместо сюжетных записей нарекания от редактора текстов (Исправьте текст, а тут у вас одно слово пару раз повторяют) ну вы представляете? Еще на странице с игрой указаны карты, а на деле их нет, но может это временно.
Короче, друзья, игра сама по себе нормальная, но пройти ее если и возможно, то с потерей нервов и времени из-за багов и вылетов.
Берегите свои нервы, лучше найдите качественную игру. А я сильно расстроился.
Good atmosphere even without voice acting. A good choice fo a sale.
Das Spiel ist nicht mal die 1,99 Wert! Ich komme schon sehr früh trotz Hilfe nicht weiter. Es wird auf etwas gezeigt und es ist nicht heraus zu bekommen was man dort dann tun soll... Grafik ist eher bescheiden. Die Leiste mit dem Inventar lässt sich nicht feststellen. Musik ist sehr laut, laut oder unhörbar. Und wo weiter und so weiter...
Ce jeu n'a aucun sens ! On ramasse des trucs, on se demande bien pourquoi le personnage aurait l'idée saugrenue de les ramasser. On utilise plusieurs fois les mêmes outils, mais il faut en trouver un nouveau à chaque fois parce qu'on les jette à la première utilisation. Par exemple, j'ai trouvé 2 tournevis, un scalpel, un rasoir, un cutter...
Je trouve une balance avec un poids d'un côté et il faut obligatoirement mettre un objet de même poids de l'autre côté, alors qu'il suffirait d'appuyer avec la main pour déclencher le mécanisme. Et je vous dis pas le truc qui est utilisé et jeté pour ça, c'est n'importe quoi.
Je trouve une fleur, je ne peux pas la cueillir, même avec un rasoir ! Là, j'ai craqué.
Les point&click, c'est pas difficile à programmer, alors il faut quand même un minimum de logique dans le scénario et l'utilisation des objets.
