Great game lasts a long time , challanging puzzles some easy some hard. A lot of running around if you don't pay attention and save, save,save it also helps to take some notes.
Overall the best game I've played recently.

Keepsake - a little bit frustration

I had problems to run the game at my computer at first, but with some help from my son I was able to play it. The grafic is excelent and story good, but there is too much running from place to place with no easy way to get there. There is no logic on where to go next so I had to use the help button a lot.
I would have liked to be able to touch and pick up more items and use them my self. In this game the game chooses what to use. The companian(wolf-cat) was fun to have with me to talk to and it also gave a lot of clues. The logic of some of the puzzles was a bit difficult to understand. But overall I enjoyed the game and it lasted for a long time with all the "running around"

More trouble than it's worth

Nice graphics and sound, interesting story, not too hard puzzles, but I had some trouble with the game locking up in a certain spot. I downloaded the recommended patch and got further in the game, only to have it lock up again in another spot. The problems spoil the fun in playing. I have no such troubles with any other games I've played. I purchased this game in a bargain bin for less than advertised here and still don't feel it was worth it. Registered with the game makers website and discovered many other players suffering the same problems. Good luck if you still want it.

This company has serious adventure potential

In one of the best tributes to old-school fantasy adventure games in many years, Wicked studios has made a labour of love in the articulate rendering of their gigantic magical school. The constraints of the budget do end up getting in the way, but I hope that enough heads were turned to get Wicked studios the attention and future finances that they, and adventure games, deserve..

not bad

This was very good. My daughter and I both enjoyed this. We had to think about some of the puzzles. It took us several hours a day to play this. I would recommend this to everyone.

Terrible animation, impossible navigation

This game got great reviews for its hint system, and it's true that it's good that the hints are there. But as you navigate around your point of view changes all over the place -- sometimes you're seeing the side of your character, sometimes you're looking down from the ceiling, sometimes you're behind her. It makes it almost impossible to figure out how to get to a specific spot. This means that the hint "you have to go to the basement" is useless.

On top of that, the animation is pathetic. It's klunky and jerky and about equivalent to taking paper cutouts of the characters and moving them around the screen.

Do not waste your money on this.

Sharing a great game...

I've been playing adventure computer games since they first started up! This is among one of the best. Its beautiful graphics and music helps you become involved in the storyline and stay there. Fun to play, challenging at times, and always beautiful to look at, I highly recommend this one.

This is a very long involved game with alot of puzzles and fun. It was delightfuly fun. She is a very modern girl and yet she is caught up in the magical fanticy. The artwork and the story line are unbelieveable. It feels like you are really in that castle. I kept wishing I had a room there so I could go to the acadamy too. I would recommend this game to anyone over the age of 14. It takes a lot of concentration and thinking to get through the puzzles, however, the game doew supply some help. Hope everyone likes it as much as I do. I have played it several times and I am sure I will play it again.

Lots to look at, Less to do

This game is beautiful and the puzzles are great, both in length and complexity. However, halfway through the game I grew very tired of the distance Lydia had to go from point A to point B to get anything done.

The more I played, the longer the journey became. This game is gorgeous. But you can't do anything! Up the stairs, down the hall, through the door, over the balcony, through another door, up some more steps, down some more steps....on and on! B-O-R-I-N-G! It doesn't matter how great a game looks, if it's all useless window dressing it's simply a waste of time.

For one puzzle I went straight to the solution because I did not want to spend half an hour or more moving Lydia back and forth between the two areas it required to get the puzzle completed. By the time the ending came I didn't really care anymore, I simply wanted the game to be over.

If you like watching your little game person run, run, run, and run some more than you will love this game.

My wife bought this for me on a whim and while I like the game there are a few things I have to swallow to play it.
The Artwork in this adventure is nothing short of breath taking. The dragons look amazing in the statues and other places. the Vistas are grand and so is the soundtrack.
Yet the main character is misproportioned. I can't stand watching her run! Her arms are way too short. And she's not the only one. With backgrounds so wonderful, why are all the characters so wooden? They don't move smoothly and look like they are gliding across the floor instead of running. The wolf, your companion, looks more like he is covered in skin than hair.
And the voice acting is terrible. I can't say much more about that.
Yet even with those flaws I am looking forward to finishing this adventure. It looks like a good story.
So where did everyone go? :)
