For a debut developer, this was an amazing and short entry into the 'adventure' genre. Perfect for a rainy Sunday or a play over two or so sessions. Poignant and beautiful.

This is a very cute and fun adventure game. Very enjoyable and recommended. But I do have a pet peeve going on here that actually kinda made me want to not click on the "thumbs up" icon and it's about what this game isn't. It is not a point & click adventure game. It says so in the Steam tags, true, but you actually have to use your keyboard (or a controller) to control this game. There is no real pointing and no real clicking and I hate that this tag is there. If that's fine with you, then this game is brilliant. If you are looking for an actualy p&c adventure (like I was), then this will most likely annoy you.

Pretty good adventure with some nice puzzles to solve that never leave you completely stumped and it's usually very clear what you need to do next. The story is surprisingly complex and layered, which leads to my only real complaint about the game: all that careful story-building pretty much just gets swept away in a cutscene at the end, You don't even get to foil the villain yourself, it just takes place as past of the cutscene and several plot threads I was looking forward to resolving myself also either get tied up for you or left dangling with no resolution. It's a good game at a sale price, but the ending does fizzle out.

Cleo is the tale of a girl who just wants to adventure like the great pirate Captain Cabeca she constantly reads about. It's also the tale of her ability to collect others' stories: Malthe the cocktail maker, Avery the writer, Teddy McInally the creator of Kraken Fodder, Pitt the creator of the best cutting board and Sushi Madness chef, and so many other characters. Thank you to Christoph Schultz for trusting us to listen. 6.5/10
