What players say

I was a fan of the first game as well as another game from this developer so I knew I would have fun with this as well. I love Folklore but I especially love Chinese history and Folklore especially when it gets put into a game like this. The music is great and I love the art direction, some of the puzzles can be a bit lost in translation or lack of but you can still get through it easily enough and if you have time...

It looks pretty, but that's all. It's nearly not as good as the first one. The story is not interesting, the main character is boring, the puzzles are illogical (could be due to the translation). I hope the third one will be better.
