Jogão dos mesmos criadores de Yuppie Psycho, ainda não joguei muito mas definitivamente é bom, irei jogar mais no futuro e dai atualizarei a review.

A pesar de tener una estética retro y pixel art, el juego logra generar una atmósfera opresora, haciéndote sentir y creer ese mundo terrorífico donde transcurre la historia.
Esa mezcla entre fábulas infantiles con ese toque gore y adulto, forma esta joya de videojuego.

Some great story beats, visual style, and gameplay. some of it is a little obtuse but nothing you can't think through a bit on the best way forward.

The count Lucanor is an excellent child's fairy tale in an horror way. I enjoyed this game nearly as much as Dolls, the movie by Stuart Gordon ; which is also mixed those themes but with a good bunch of humour in addition. There is also some humour in this game but not really the same, nor in same amount.

The game is slow-paced but that fit very well the storytelling and let the player enjoyed both beatufull pixel art and ambiance. By the way, as the game is rather short, it's not really a bad point.

From the innocent colorful first minutes to the weird and creepy following, the adventures of the ten years old Hans into the Count Lucanor's castle are well wrote and done. The attention is kept alive until the end. It was a pleasure to help Hans to investigate and solve all the mysteries and finally discover the truth about the castle. On its way, Hans will encountered some very peculiar characters.

Besides the narrative part, you have many things to do before reaching the ending. There are some rewarding puzzles, which are not too difficult nor too easy ; infiltration and investigation ; cat and mouse game with fatal enemies. Some of your choice or discovery may impact the following of your adventure and the end.

This indie game may be a real wonder if you play it like you'll watch a good 80's horror movie.

Ha envejecido un poquitito regular, y quizá no es de los mejores del género, pero me lo he pasado bien y está guay.

Hans, who has just turned 10, leaves home when he gets tired of poverty and decides to explore the world to get rich. But as soon as he doesn't expect it, he finds himself in the mysterious castle of Count Lucanor. In order to get to the treasure of Count Lucanor and lead a rich life with his mother, he solves many dangerous puzzles inside the castle and witnesses many atrocities. This is the story of the game briefly. Although the gameplay time is also quite short, The Count Lucanor is a very enjoyable experience. Although it is not as hit-making as the producer's other game, Yuppie Psycho, it is definitely a production that should be tried.
