Go get it now!!! Posted by Marion on 2008-10-30 at 13:17 (IP logged): One of my favourite AGS games ! Congratulations ! Not too difficult, very beautiful, fun... Just one question : what is the verbe "HIT" for ?.. Posted by Asja on 2008-01-16 at 00:50 (IP logged): Good game! I can honestly say this is the best music in an AGS game ever! Particularly in the bar. Posted by ladymeba on 2007-09-04 at 12:03 (IP logged): Great game! Artwork and story are absolutely brilliant. Puzzles challenging but really made sense - which is just the way I like it. I loved the interplay between cedric and victor. Posted by coldwater on 2007-05-06 at 21:01 (IP logged): Its a really good game. The graphics were well-done, same with the script and the music. Fantastic. Posted by Afflict on 2006-07-26 at 15:24 (IP logged): The game is in short awesome! Download and play now! Posted by Edgar on 2006-07-26 at 11:19 (IP logged): Very good game. I found the premise a little discouraging though, and the dialogues, albeit funny, could be rewritten in a more original fashion. The artwork is the strong point, that is for sure; even when stuck, the backgrounds and the characters kept pushing me to try a little harder. Great colors choice. Best designs go for Cedric, the Gargoyle and Xcotq'l. Posted by skyfire1 on 2006-06-12 at 10:40 (IP logged): this game is awesome and very high quality. that's my comments in a nutshell. Posted by ebby on 2006-05-31 at 14:03 (IP logged): This game is brilliant for many reasons. The characters have and personality. The graphics have atmosphere and charm that brought back memories of the old Lucas arts games. Definitely a must play! Posted by evilspacefart on 2006-03-05 at 13:19 (IP logged): this is a great game. download now! Posted by vict0r on 2006-02-01 at 10:21 (IP logged): Anyone who haven't already played this game, download it NOW! It's absolutely great in every way! Posted by Jack Dark on 2006-01-16 at 06:49 (IP logged): Well seriously, without doubt, this is THE BEST AGS GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED. Yes, immediately, you will be entranced by the graphics, but that's just icing on the cake. The overall game design follows that of classic Lucas Arts stuff, we're talking magic titles like Monkey Island. Cedric is well studied in this field. If you've ever played a classic Lucas Arts game, you'll feel right at home instantly. But to call the game a ripoff would be a terrible description. Cedric is influenced by the games of yore, but certainly holds its own as an original title. The characters are hilarious, and most important of all, each character ACTUALLY HAS THEIR OWN PERSONALITY. Far too often when you play adventure games (especially freeware ones) it seems like each character is the SAME person over and over, and this is due to the designer being unable to think outside their own head. Well, Bernie is a master of character design and creation, you really feel like you're dealing with a great multitude of different personalities here. Fantastic. The puzzles, overall, are exceptionally good and varied. They are LOGICAL, 99% of the time, and honestly are -fun- to figure out... which is another complete rarity in most adventure games. Though the puzzles are logical, they are also "wacky" and that makes them not mundane. There were a few puzzles that were a bit annoying, and that honestly only has to do with the fact that this is Bernie's first adventure game. SPOILER ALERT - I had problems with the following puzzles: The crab. Okay... thinking to "pick up" a snapping crab with your bare hands is completely unintuitive, especially when Cedric seems scared of everything in the first place. The magic spell instructions could of been a bit more descriptive, as you really had no idea what exactly to mash in what order. You are told to find ingredients that never actually get used in the bowl... counter intuitive. And then... the FEATHER. Oi oi oi. It magically appears later on after you've already explored the room before (bad bad bad) and then when it does it becomes a "pixel hunt" item that is basically camoflauged against the background. But let's chalk all that up to beginner's folly, because again, 99% of the puzzles are easily solved due to being actually LOGICAL. /SPOILER ALERT END If I could change anything about Cedric, it would be that the game had actual sound FX. I hate that these were left out due to "time constraints". Time constraints against what? Who set the deadline against when Cedric had to be completed? Sound FX are sorely missed thereof. I can only imagine what it would sound like to hear a hat squish against a honey coated web, or a demon in a bubblebath. However, for what it's worth, the music that Bernie selected is fantastic and always fits the atmosphere of the game. Excellent aural taste. And of coruse, I wish the game were longer... but with every truly good game, you're always sad to see it end. That is the sure sure sign that you've just played a bit of magic. And really, that's about it. Everything else in the game was amazing... blew me away for being a one man title. There's no denying these are the best original graphics and animation to ever grace an AGS title. The best puzzles I've seen yet, the best characters, and even a fantastic storyline with plenty of clever little plot twists to keep things fresh and intersting. Bernie is without a doubt the new king of AGS (sorry Yahtzee, sorry Logan Worsley), and I can only drool in anticipation at what he can bring us next. If you miss this game, you're only hurting yourself! Posted by Jack Dark on 2006-01-16 at 06:34 (IP logged): Ultimastic bravo! Posted by buloght on 2005-12-24 at 12:42 (IP logged): I completed it. I didn't save once, because once i started playing i couldn't stop. This for me is the PERFECT game. Seriously, the dialoque rocks, the characters have depth and personality. This is definitely the coolest kid main character ever! The graphics is what really stands out. Amazing bgs, man. You must be some kind of artist somewhere :) The game reminds of the games of old! The atmosphere is perfect, really felt like i was in the game world. Can't wait for hero theorem! Posted by Mordalles on 2005-12-24 at 12:13 (IP logged): My favourite AGS game thus far. Full Stop. Posted by Erenan on 2005-12-23 at 20:55 (IP logged): There's not a bad thing I can say about this game. Everything made sense, the art was superb, and the story was interesting and funny. I like the interplay between Cedric and Victor. That was a nice touch. Good work!
