 Rhiannon - Curse of the four branches November 23, 2008

It has it all. Thrilling story and a lot of puzzles. You have to learn how to write ancient writing and you realy have to have a creative mind. The celtic setting and the mystery surroudings makes makes you feel like you are in the place. It has alot of places to explore and the setting is so good. I can only hope that the creaters behind the game would make more games like this.

This is one of the strangest games I've played in a long time. Just think about it for a moment - a point and click adventure game made in 2008 and set in Wales?!? I'm not welsh but I think it's nice to set a game somewhere other than the usual settings of the USA, London etc.
There're lots of nice touches such as when you start the game and you hear a horse but can't see one and you wonder what's going on but a newspaper left on the floor tells you the story of a local "ghost horse" terrorising the area. Upon entering the house you can play back phone messages from a local van driver (complete with Welsh accent!) who's claiming money off you for your horse damaging his van and your wife/girlfriend reminding you about putting a fire on. It's all very day to day stuff and it does really feel like you're in the game.
The big drawback of this game is in it's cofusing navigation. For example, you'll often see a door and want to go to it but you just can't work out how to get to it, even though it's right in front of you, you have to keep walking around in circles to get anywhere. Instead of going from A to B you have to go from A to C to D to E to B and it does get a bit annoying.
Overall this is a great game if you're into UK/Welsh culture and want to step back in time to how games used to be. It can be frustrating to play, the graphics and sound are about 15 years out of date but If you can see beyond those problems then a great adventure is there to be found.
