"Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes" is the gameplay ago a classic point & click adventure in which the player takes control of the protagonist Lilli. Use the mouse very comfortable places can be controlled, guided dialogs, used and studied objects. More is not necessary to enjoy the game. A short tutorial explains - if desired - the basic functions of Adventures and immediately the players can go into the crazy world of Lilli. Apart from the actual task to help Edna, the protagonist must disregard certain prohibitions later in the game also (eight). Entering from dangerous places or using sharp objects prohibited - for example her - after a hypnosis by Dr. Marcel. Here the Stoffhase Harvey plays a major role, which already from "Edna breaks out!" Is known. His new eyes ensure that children are hypnotized. To circumvent the prohibitions, Lilli has hypnotized again with the "new" Harvey and tricking the respective demons in a trance. This not only sounds crazy, it is staged very entertaining and has some hours of gameplay!
Everything is solved
The assigned tasks are moving in a very human context. The Adventure is good to solve, if a little is thought along. As the world remains manageable and also overflows the inventory at any time, can be gradually all possibilities to try each when the brainstorm absent for the time being. In addition to the story related tasks, the game now and then Brainteaser in which the player can, for example an old man with his memory a helping hand or need to prove a pizza for the RPG round so that no one of farbsehschwachen players will be disappointed.
Three chapters full of sarcasm and black humor
The game is divided into three chapters, which assign the semantic course sections. So the adventure begins in the monastery before the protagonist has to defy the second section mainly on the prohibitions, to finally experience the grand finale. The characters go no way carefully around each other. A delightfully wicked action after the other and the dialogues melt like a piece of herb butter on a steak. Worry whether with each other or against the online reviewers, cheeky comments at any time for funny moments.
Full "gumbo" - dialogues and Extras
Curious on this adventure is the fact that the good Lilli during the game not a single word from her lips brings - the end admitted once the outside - and they agreed only with sounds. From "uh-uh" over "mhmh" up to "Erm" extends her repertoire and thus makes for good entertainment as the different characters to pick up and exploit this property very different.
The game is a printed manual, which already generates reading anticipation. In the same sassy style as the dialogues in the game the player will be attuned to the upcoming adventure.
Free There is also a retro code disc that resembles the copy of "Monkey Iceland" games, which must be used to start the game. So the fun begins even before the actual game.
Likewise, the soundtrack with a running time of just over four and a half minutes is included on a separate CD.
First-class offshore and voice acting and good music
The game lives on through the on-screen and at the same time (German) spoken dialogues, which are associated with strong accents convincingly over. Götz Otto takes for example the part of the narrator and the player with his tears of lecture with just - great! Especially the dripping sarcasm places are a feast for the ears and strongly implemented by Otto. However, for example, the speech impediment of Superior, which problems with the "K" has been attractively staged and come both in written and in audio form to fruition. In the background, meanwhile sounding out the sounds of classical elements and thereby support the bizarre formations of comic adventure and abysmally evil story.
Dark out there in HD
The playful-drawn world characterized by devotedly designed backgrounds and scenes in comic style, which its predecessor "Edna breaks out" for the eerily comforting atmosphere catered had. It is striking that the world usually appears dark and sinister, while Lilli colorful, carefree and happy on her way goes. The whole game is available in HD and therefore no annoying black bands appear at broader resolutions on the edge. Thus, the player can enjoy an unclouded wide-screen experience.
Edna breaks out!
The predecessor is honored in numerous allusions and even if the usually obsessed by fire Harvey (unfortunately) this property only entertaining places in this adventure to light, so is a bridge to the predecessor with him and the other characters.
Crazy? Hahahaha ...
Story and content are just like some puzzles, solutions and characters crazy, eccentric and wonderfully entertaining. For example, there is the "censorship Gnome". This small, cute creatures whitewash everything should not exist in the child's world of Lilli. Murder and death are indeed their constant companion, but the little convent girl (and also the narrator) overlook these things confidently and held bloody corpses expect cheerful pinselnde Gnome the player.
Overall, "Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes" a brilliant adventure that lives of its kind, the plot and the dialogues. The morbid puzzle fun is probably not thought despite PEGI 12 released for children. Adults can enjoy until the end, where Lilli can choose between three options the sarcasm and the tangled story, however, completely. In this game, however, there is only one option: you!
