FEATURES

Clover: A Curious Tale is a new and enhanced version of the political platform puzzler. Rendered in hand-crafted watercolour, featuring a remastered piano score and laced with political themes, Clover: A Curious Tale sees players solve mysteries through both exploration and talking to a range of fully voice-acted characters.

Set in a medieval world ruled by a monarchy with a welfare state, Clover: A Curious Tale tells the story of Sam, an adolescent teenager. Recently orphaned after his lone parent mother died in a shock attack on the proud nation of Sanha, Clover: A Curious Tale follows Sam's journey of discovery as he explores the land and events surrounding his loss. If he can outsmart the mysteries before him, Sam may have his beliefs challenged by what he discovers.

Abandoning traditional gaming conventions like 'lives' and 'health', Clover: A Curious Tale offers a thoroughly modern take on adventuring classics like Fantastic Dizzy and Maniac

Mansion. Hand-painted watercolour artwork, a melancholy piano soundtrack and a plethora of ambient effects combine to create a relaxing and immersive experience that can be taken at the player's pace whilst still challenging their puzzle-solving skills.

  • Hundreds of megabytes of hand-painted watercolour artwork

Clover is a masterpiece of indie game design, very good platform puzzle adventure. There is a demo available on others website try it and you'll love it. At less than £6 it's a instabuy game.

Clover is one of the most interesting puzzlers I have played. For those not familiar with the type of gameplay, everyday items are scattered around the world (everything from a watch to an anvil to a ship's sail) and the player must determine their use in order to solve tasks or avoid detection from the town's overzealous guards.

The story is surprisingly good and well-written, albeit short. The PC version adds voice acting and while it isn't entirely polished it's certainly not amateur. The graphics are drop-dead gorgeous and it's always nice to find a game that respects the boundaries of two monitors without shoving everything over.

The game will net the player about five to ten hours depending how stumped some of the tasks may leave a player. Some of the puzzles may not be terribly intuitive (for example a man with poor eyesight requesting a light source should actually be placed in deeper darkness), and the inventory system -- where the player can only hold two items to start and three later -- can be exceptionally irksome at times.
This limited inventory is only exacerbated once the player begins to combine items together (fishing rod + carrot = task complete); though the player only needs to have both in their inventory, some combinations are certainly unorthodox.

However, the inventory woes is really the only complaint for a blindly sparkling gem in a pile of mediocrity of puzzler games out there and it should not deter anyone from purchasing Clover, just be aware of it before playing!
