Book of Shadows Reviews

A small quest with cute low poly graphics and nice soundtrack. Minimalistic environments make the adventure more fun

Completed in around 25-30 minutes. Was a fun little game, had to figure out what to do in the beginning but it became clear what to do and where to look for the puzzles and clues. Would recommend buying on sale but it's a fun tiny game. Good for achievement hunters and 100% completers.

With a fairly simple plot, the dark wizard searches for the dark book of shadows. Along the way, he comes across problems that need to be solved. I wish the game more levels, more online, more budget and time to develop.

Took me 24 min to play it till the end. Too easy and too short. Good for toddlers or really small children.

A small and very interesting story. A cool puzzles and a good plot twists. Immerse yourself in a world where there is magic and the dark forces. Where the dark wizard spends his whole life in search of the mysterious book. Book of Shadows. But the dark forces is not subject to this book! Wizard trick instructs the player to bring this book. And only you can decide - what is the ending of this story .. Soundtrack 7/10, gameplay 8/10, graphics 8/10. The total score is 8 points out of 10.

I really enjoy small indie puzzle games. I really like low-poly graphics. So, I thought this one would be a fun little game but this title can barely be called a game. The description is deceptive AF! [i]“Help the locals solve their problems”[/i] – There are 4 People you can “talk” with. Well, It’s more like they have a one line Text for you. And 1 of those 4 people has a “problem”. [i]“find a mysterious book”[/i] – It’s in the library. And you know it from the beginning. [i]“In the game you will find a variety of puzzles”[/i] – No, you won’t. There are 5 puzzles and you can barely call them puzzles. The solutions are so goddamn obvious. [i]“interesting tasks”[/i] – No. There is *literally* nothing interesting in those 5 tasks. Find 1 item and solve 4 codes. [i]“a mysterious story”[/i] – Wait… you call those 10 lines of text a 5yr old could write a story? [i]“that you will not forget for a long time”[/i] – there is no story to begin with. [i]“Embark on an exciting journey and see where it leads you!”[/i] – There is no journey! There are 4 People and 5 Buildings. That’s it. All on one road. You can not move freely by navigating with WSAD or something like that. You have arrows to click at for entering a building. You can not interact with anything else than the “puzzles” or people. [b]I finished the “game” within 15 minutes.[/b] There is one collectible. It’s so obvious you cannot miss it’s pieces unless your display resolution is not a standard one and the FOV gets cut off so you don’t see everything. That’s why I have a record of over an hour for this game. Got my first steam refund.

This is a short and simple point and click game. There really isn't much to do but to click on random things. If there is something you don't need yet, it will let you know. This is perfect for easy achievements but don't buy it only for that reason (unless it is on sale). The story is... odd to say the least. Graphics are alright, music gets annoying, and it can be hard to understand one of the puzzles. I will admit, there was one object that was hard to find but it is only needed for the "true ending." Overall, it's an okay game, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Very reluctantly, but I recommend it. It's very very short, completable in mere 12-15 minutes. The graphics are low poly but not terrible, the looped music starts to get annoying even after that short period of time and the dialogues are incredibly silly, written in broken English, however amusingly wholesome. Despite all this, though, I still had a bit of fun, and the price tag is pretty low, so if you have nothing better to do - it's alright. Just don't get your expectations too high.

A game in the style of the wild west, strongly reminiscent of cowboys shootouts and horse chases, a very good game to play in the evening, I recommend to buy
