Herald: An Interactive Period Drama - Book I & II reviews

Translated by

Herald is a really beautifully designed Game with a good Story and lots Of interesting Characters. The whole thing is wrapped in a historically inspired story, which brings you closer to the Conditions at this Time. It is really to be hoped that the Developers will still get The Chance to complete Boock III and IV, as Book I and II were unfortunately not as successful as would have been desirable (which is absolutely unjustified).

Product received for free The first two episodes of Herald: An Interactive Period Drama lead us within the events that will take place within the HLV Herald in a historical context as important as the NINETEENTH century where the Protectorate was the The strongest empires and nations from the commercial, economic and political point of view of that time. The level of fruition is more than discreet, but lacking in mordant and great twists. The whole thing is dictated by the fact that the choices we make will have little impact on the story and the finale will be one. However the quality of the stages of dialogue is more than good together with a simple but well realized audio compartment. The Dutch developers of Wispfire did not want to risk enlarging the variety of repercussions, based on the choices of dialogue made, not moving away from the main strand. Maybe with the next episodes will be different. We Recommend this title to those who want to play without expecting great things and want to spend little. http://www.gamesark.it/mostra_rece.asp?c=25420170012295839

Product received for free "Devan Rensburg is anything but a born Sailor. He is rather slender, quite intelligent and he does not like to be commanded around. Despite this, he hires on the HLV Herald on a fateful Day in 1857. ... Herald plays more like a classic Point & Click Adventure, but the Focus is clearly on the conversations with the Crew and Passengers on Board. Instead of breaking your Head and combining Items in clever Puzzles, you primarily execute the banal Commands of your Superiors. And while you serve tea to the Captain and his Guests or help out in the Galley, you will have a Conversation with the different Characters. In this Way, however, you not only get to know the others better, but also gradually shape Devin'S Personality with your Answers. The Choice is not always easy, because the Developers have put a lot Of effort into populating The Ship with multi-layered figures, whose Motives can not always be labored with good or evil. ... Herald is an adventure as exciting as it is brave, cleverly addressing Issues we as a society have struggled with To this day. My only Criticism is that waiting for Book III & IV (appears as DLC) is likely to become a real Agony after this startling Cliffhanger.
