Picked up
Oknytt in a recent bundle. You play as a small creature born out of mud in the middle of the night and trying to figure out what
can change the nature of a rat its purpose is. Seems really neat so far -- a classic point and click inventory-based adventure game with an interesting gimmick:
The four runes at the bottom of the screen correspond to the 4 elements and you can use them to manipulate the environment a bit. Some of these manipulations are essential for your progress and some are merely atmospheric. In the screen above, for example, you can use the air rune to conjure up the wind to run the windmill. Or you can use the water rune to start the rain.
You can also use the fire rune to turn on the lights in the farmer's house, which is essential for entering the basement (which otherwise remains unlit and too dark to explore).
The interface is standard point and click, with three actions: examine, use, and talk/comment on. You pick up items, combine them, all that jazz.
Another gimmick is the narrator who substitutes for the regular "You see/You pick up/You do [whatever]" text. In this game, it works, because this is supposed to be a retrospective story of the night the game takes place on.
Lots of mythological creatures in the game too.
Aside from the runes, the quests are classic p'n'c adventure game fare.
There's even a quest journal. Oldschool!
It looks like the game has 5 chapters; I've just started playing it so I'm currently in chapter one. Enjoying it so far.
