Nov. 2024

I played this game a few years ago but never really gave any comment on it. Lately I have noticed the mixed reviews by players. For those who are wondering if the game is worth it or not, I would say yes. This game, like The Rose in the Twilight, is a visual treat for you. Art is great, soundtracks are beautiful, story is good and puzzles still pose a challenge without being too difficult and time-consuming. However, if you play this game on pc without a controller like I did, you will have some difficulties because the gameplay of htol is quite clunky w' mouse and keyboard, which I believe to be the main reason why this game received many negative feedbacks.
