Ankh - Anniversary Edition

Ankh-Anniversary Edition is a classic Point-and-click adventure from Deck 13. In Ancient Egypt: We are the young Assil and always On the Lookout for Fun and Entertainment. That'S why we do a cool Pyramid Party, in which we foolishly take an even older Death Curse. Fun is just never to be had in vain. In addition, we also unintentionally come into the Possession of Ankh, the Sign of the Red of Death Osiris. Solving All the Mess, getting rid of the Curse and finally being able to party again is our most urgent Desire. Mechanically, we are in classic Point-and-Click. We control Assil through many Screens, click on Things that all trigger a Comment, stuff some of them into our Inventory, use them with other Things or other Protagonists, and select from multiple conversation options. The Puzzles are rather simple, sometimes absurd. The Entertainment and Humour are clearly in the Foreground. And the Comedy is also the Strength of the Title. Nothing is taken seriously, Allusions to Today are numerous, historical Correctness is sought in vain. The Game is Happy to become self-referential, dialogued to the Question of whether one can die at All, since one almost never dies in Adventures. This is witty, skillful, whip-smart and exhilarating. The sometimes annoying paths become disturbing During the course Of the game, but otherwise one is always well entertained. The German Speakers make their Business more than respectable and at least the Main Characters are noticeably professional (the Voice of Assil, for example, can also be found at the "Three Question Marks." "Ankh" is a fun Pastime With shiny Comedy every now and then. And even if it doesn't reach the Genre Kings of LucasArts, it knows how to convince.
