The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who enjoy playful, retro-styled side-scrolling adventures and animated fantasy worlds: Arzette turns the awkward charm of its CD-i inspirations into a full adventure, with hand-painted scenery, animated characters, and voice acting. Tradeoff: Its deliberately old-fashioned presentation and humor may feel rough or deliberately goofy if you prefer polished, modern adventure conventions.

What you are walking into
Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore is a new interactive animated adventure, where players must help Arzette save the Kingdom of Faramore from the evil demon king, Daimur. It is a spiritual successor to a pair of infamous fantasy adventure titles, being developed by Seedy Eye Software and both funded & published by Limited Run Games. The Kingdom of Faramore is beautifully realized by Rob Dunlavey, the artist behind the world map paintings from the games that inspired Arzette. Additionally, voiceover talent from the games that inspired Arzette will be featured in the game, including Jeffrey Rath and Bonniejean Wilbur.
