Haunted Legends: The Bronze Horseman
Operating System: PC
Website: Official Website
Rating: 3/5
Comments: The cutscenes in this were really nicely animated with spoken dialogue. I was rather impressed with that. The NPCs moved when they talked instead of just being an inanimate portrait which just added to the bonus points for this game. Unfortunately the journal was not good. There are few that have good ones though so I wasn't surprised. This one had potential to be good but just fell short in the end.
The plot was alright too. You get called in to stop a "curse" in the city. This bronze horseman statue
comes to life at night and terrorises the townsfolk so you get commissioned by the mayor to find out how to stop it. Plus there's this creepy little demon goblin that had been selling these weird crystals to peeps and now they're all missing. Turns out they get trapped inside the crystals when they touch them... though you never really do find out how to get them back?
The puzzles in this weren't too hard and most of the things you needed to find were pretty easy to spot, but once again I chose to play on expert so it was a little tricky for me sometimes. The game ended really strangely with no real closure on what happened to the strange goblin demon guy. He just left or something. And the townsfolk just... died? The bonus chapter was the only thing that brought the game to a close so I don't know how I would have felt without the collector's edition.
