Surface: Project Dawn

I enjoy the Surface series, so i was excited to play this game. It was a great story. Made me sad, happy and in between. Some scenes were a bit dark, but i think thats why i enjoyed it more. They stuck to the true series with flowers. Collectibles were also available. No glitches and enjoyed the erie soundtrack. This one is a must!

Although the storyline of the game was not original (telekinetic experimentation/entering dreams to save ghosts), Elephant Games still managed to add their twisted and bizarre perspective to make the game enthralling. We were given a journal and tasks were regularly updated. You could customize settings. The graphics were not as crisp or sharp as I would have preferred, but they did convey the nightmarish, weird and almost post-apocalyptic feeling that Elephant was striving to achieve. Inventory was labeled and interactive and there were complex items to assemble. There was a marked teleport map to transport you instantaneously between locations, and it also indicated whether the collectibles were still available (flowers and morphing figurines). The HO scenes had a nice variety and were definitely more unique than we have seen in a while from this developer. The puzzles/games were mostly on the simplistic side, but there were several that I still enjoyed (such as the labyrinth and the safecracker puzzle)and some that also enabled you to utilize your dexterity skills. Each location had a plethora of tasks to accomplish. The game ran smoothly, save for the ease of back tapping out of a puzzle or HO scene. In addition, the dialogue moved rather quickly so you had better be a fast reader. I found the gameplay not only enjoyable but also somewhat addictive. Unfortunately this game was very short, inclusive of the bonus adventure. I am deducting a star for length, hazy graphics and the speed of the dialogue. This was still a terrific thrill ride from Elephant Games! Remember tomorrow we are supposed to receive a new offering from Artifex Mundi. Hopefully BigFish will also distribute a new game on Thursday; I have had enough of their sales! Happy gaming, everyone. Note to KimTwilight: the trial for this game was extremely short and I was on the fence about purchasing it. Your review was spot-on and helped me to make my decision to buy it and I am pleased to say that I didn’t regret it! I really appreciate that you put so much time and effort into your reviews. Thanks, my friend! UPDATE: Kingmaker has been released by Artifex Mundi. I am not familiar with the developer; it is not Brave Giant Studios. This is the first game in a new series so we don’t know if it’s good. Also BigFish EXTENDED their Memorial Day Sale; I don’t know if we will get a new game tomorrow!

Enjoyed this game Very Much! Storyline was uniquely put together, with lot’s of visual effects. Character voiceovers were believable and good. Hidden object scenes were not only interactive, but cleverly done. Puzzles and collectibles also a plus. I thought the developer did a Great job in this series, as there was a whole lot to see and take in & plan your next move. Experienced no glitches and clear graphics, that were fascinating and original. Highly recommend buying this game, if you want to have some fun, mystery and adventure. P.S. Fellow gamers: Artifex Mundi released their new game today in the App Store under their website. Happy 😃 gaming to all!!! Can’t wait to see what we get next from Big Fish 🐠 Really was disgusted that we got shorted a game last week on Wednesday - I wouldn’t mind a holiday sale, however when Big Fish eliminates a New Release due to a upcoming Holiday, that is not right for their regular customers who already have purchased their older sale games. Everyone who agrees needs to express this to Big Fish and just possibly we might see a change. Reviews & Voices are to be heard and acknowledged. KdBoots 🐎
