    A charming point and click game about 2 siblings in a magical world. It seems more on the budget side, so you do have to make some allowances in terms of production value. Animation, voice acting, etc it's a bit rough. Not bad, just rough.
    It's a nice story though and I enjoyed my time with it. The puzzles themselves are fine, though for some it felt like I was solving them more by seeing what was possible as opposed to seeing the path myself. One puzzle did irk me because of the setup. None of the areas are too big, you're generally just navigating between a screen or two and moving on. There's nothing too deep or groundbreaking here but it's enjoyable enough.

    There's some choices you get to make, but I'm not sure how much they affect the story since I've only done the one playthrough. I don't think they change much. The pacing feels a bit off, the latter half of the story seems to wrap up very quickly and the game runs a couple of hours.

    For the most part it's a family friendly affair, but there's a solitary "shit" and "bastard" in there. Not that I care, but just seems odd when a very slight tweak could have game them a larger target audience. It's like they forced them in just to get a 12 rating and not a 7.
    I liked the world and characters, felt a little like an animated movie really. It's not for everyone though, if the premise doesn't interest you then I don't think you'd get along with it.

    I only paid £1.59 for it and it's still that price on the PSN Store until tomorrow
