Edna & Harvey: The Breakout

released on Dec 31, 2008

Edna & Harvey: The Breakout is an adventure game for Windows and Mac about a girl and her toy rabbit. Players of the game have to escape from a mental hostpital. The Gameplay is similar to LucasArts' early 90's games using the SCUMM engine. The player finds himself in a 2D world. At the bottom of the screen is a list of verbs to be used and combined for solving puzzles. The game began as a university project in Germany (Wikipedia). Although that version received an outstanding reception, the English game merely received a mixed reception with both average and low review scores, mostly due to the sloppy translation.

Cool setting and story, the puzzles fells incomplete in some way

This review contains spoilers

Something nobody talks about is that this game is basically an adaptation of two Robert Cormier novels ('I Am The Cheese' and 'The Bumblebee Flies Anyway') or at least it's very similar to them. Pretty OK, some puzzles were a bit much. Played the remastered version.

Este juego está hecho en Java me estás escuchando que está hecho en Java y yo ahora mismo estoy pegando botes sobre la encimera.

Great, fun point & click adventure. Could use a technical update

Too convoluted to play in the present day, but a good goalpost to have as an overly complex and hard point'n'click adventure. It's mostly redeemed by the ability to combine everything with everything and get a unique response almost every time. It also shows the atmospheric direction pretty much all of Daedalic's later adventures would go down

probably the funniest adventure game ever made; the ending sucks ass but the adventure itself is so good I don't care, don't play this without a guide tho.
