With the Steam Game Festival there are so many games demos available to play! With that I thought it would be fun to review another short little game demo from this event. Crowns and Pawns Kingdom of Deceit is a new and up coming point and click adventure game were a girl name Milda where she finds out she is an heir and last guardian of a mysterious family secret. I've been watching this game for the last few months and was super excited to finally get the chance to play the demo now! Crowns and Pawns Kingdom of Deceit was created by Tag of Joy and is expected to be released during the first quarter of 2021. So let's get started!

Gameplay
I really enjoyed the gameplay of the game. The simple to use point and click system made this game so enjoyable for me. As I'm a huge fan of point and click adventure games this game really brought back memories other games that I played. I cannot wait for this game to join my list of some of the best point and click adventure games. I also really like the about to see the different options available when you interacted with an object in the game such as having the eyes to look at an item or a hand to interact with it. I also really like the simple inventory system as it made it easy to navigate between objects and use them to interact in the world. |

Storyline
I'm really interested in Milda's family secret. Is it treasure, is it a cursed crown, or it is something that I haven't even though of yet? All I know is that I am invested in this story and I cannot wait to play more of this game. The demo is based on a small section of Chapter 2 were you get to explore Milda's Grandfather's home. Which you find has been ransacked by thieves who are looking for the same thing you are, the family's mysterious secret. After playing the demo, I know that I want to get down to the bottom of this mystery and figure out what the family secret is and who else is looking for it and why. |

Puzzles
I really enjoyed the puzzles in the game. Each puzzle were simple logic based puzzles and I will admit I had so much fun trying to solve each one of the. The first puzzle that you solve is the fuse box puzzle where you must flip the switches to match a specific pattern given in the instructions. I will admit that it did stump me at first but after play around with the possible patterns of what it could be I finally solved it to progress forward. Overall I really enjoyed these puzzles and I cannot wait to solve more!Until next time,
