Hey, look. It's a point & click by way of Dragon's Lair, lovingly hand-drawn, little quicktime sequences here and there. Tons of impish fantasy charm, really nails the whimsical fairy tale vibe. Sure, there's some inconsistencies, some odd choices here and there that stand out, but nothing egregious.
And then it cashes in, tosses a little coin of dread into the well. I quite literally swore quietly under my breath when it happened. This was going to be one of those games, a game with a southpaw hookshot under its belt. To Tsioque's credit, it spends that coin well, plays off its strengths, addresses its perceived weaknesses. A welcome surprise in a game already enjoyed.

cute lil click em up with some elements of dragon's lair (both aesthetically and mechanically, tho never as difficult)
i was disappointed at first when it started bringing in REAL WORLD shit, cause i just wanted a fun lil fantasy romp about a princess, but i was pleasantly surprised by the happy ending, and the sketches during the credits drawing analogues to the dad raising the kid was an extra nice touch
very good!

This is a very solid point-and-click. The animation is absolutely fantastic. The puzzles were on the easy side so I didn't get stuck but I enjoyed them, except maybe for the most tricky ones (you have to click at a certain time).
The story is nice, but I was spoiled thanks to a review here so kinda annoying.

Es interesante y la dificultad no es demasiado alta, si bien el personaje es extremadamente lento, y en cada animación está bastante rato. Recuerda mucho a los juegos originales, pero creo que un pelín de dinamismo le habría venido genial. Del resto, ninguna queja, es un juego correcto con una historia curiosa.
Completed with 100% of achievements unlock. TSIOQUE is a somewhat dark point-and-click puzzle adventure, but at the same time adorably charming with its focus on a young princess, imprisoned by an evil wizard who has taken over her castle home. While clearly a somewhat stereotypical premise, it's well-used, with a nice range of immediately-recognisable areas to explore. The puzzles are fairly straightforward, with difficulty at times being more about locating the necessary items for their solution than actually using them in the right way - ultimately, it's quite standard fare on that front. However, the expressive personality of the princess as she seeks her escape does serve to elevate the game somewhat, and at just 2-3 hours in total TSIOQUE is fun to blast through for an evening.
This game has just irresistible charm, goddamn. Also showed me I can very much enjoy point-and-click games, it was a great way to spend 2-3 hours. I'm very glad I bought this and supported the devs.
Did I mention how charming this is? I can't get over it. Nice little puzzles too, though I checked a guide for a couple anyway. Whatever, I'm fully expecting it from this genre, I don't mind.
