Truberbrook is a nice little game with a great style. It feels like you’re playing through a claymation world, though with smoother animations. I believe that’s because the backgrounds were actual physical objects that were converted into the game. It looks nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main character is Hans, just an ordinary quantum physics professor. Yes, just by his profession, you might guess there are some strangeness going on around there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as the gamesplay goes, it’s usual point-and-click stuff, though it is easier than others. That’s mainly because you don’t have free choice of using items on objects. The game will automatically select a few items that makes sense based on the situation, so you won’t be trying every item on everything. The game also has a hotspot indicator to tell you where you can interact with. It came in handy at least once for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than that, some of the puzzles are logical. Some came about from me playing a lot of point-and-click games so I knew to try everything they let me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story is charming and fun, especially Hans’s thoughts on things. There is a mystery going about Truberbrook, and it’ll take you all over the region, including an old Sanatorium, old mines, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll also meet a lot of characters, though most of them you’ll only talk to once. A few characters you’ll interact with more than once, though, and those are the fun ones. Everyone has style and personality built into their bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something strange is afoot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I think the story could go deeper into the mystery part. Certain locations are underused. It could be more, but I did enjoy the time I spent in Truberbrook. It’s a fun place with a lot of charm. The gameplay is on the simple side, but I didn’t mind. The game looks good and tells a fun story about something strange happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
