Finished Tales. That one is a bit of a mixed bag as well, though much cheaper than Trüberbrook 
. It has pretty decent graphics and some of the character animations went beyond what I would have expected. Unfortunately, puzzles and story seem a bit at odds with each other.
The game establishes the player’s goal pretty early on, but then there’s a lot of backtracking, where to complete task A you need B, but to get B you need to do C, and C involves finding D, and so on, until in the end you hardly remember what you set out to do in the first place.
The result feels a bit like jumping down a well and climbing back up little by little, when all you really needed was going around it. Which is a shame, as the premise of the game is rather intriguing, and there are quite a few interesting and exotic locations to visit along the way.
At least it lets me appreciate how, in a great adventure game, puzzles can carry the story forward in an almost natural way instead of just being obstacles to its progression.
