Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 193 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Mostly Positive (566 of 793 positive).

Players describe Belladonna as a short, gothic point-and-click adventure inspired by Frankenstein. [1][2][3] Many praise the art and atmosphere but find the puzzles too simple and the game too brief. [4][5][6] Some reviewers feel the story is incomplete and the voice acting is lacking. [7][8][9]

    I love Point-and-Click games with dark themes and beautiful artwork. Belladonna has that but fails in many other aspects. The story is about a corpse girl rising from the dead. She doesn't know who she is or how she ended up in a laboratory. With the aid of the scattered journal pages belonging to doctor Wolfram von Trauerschloss and his wife, Belladonna, she starts to piece the story and events together. The ending …

    Ah, Belladonna... Definitely not a bad game, but throughout the whole playtime felt like a demo of a larger, more complex game and story. You basically pick up journal pages from various people and that's the only way for you to experience the story. If you are the skip-all-reading type of player, you will not understand a thing. It is about an hour long (reading included) with very basic and typical point-and-click …

    Gothic horror Pn'C, very simple, very short, completed in 1 hour, including the pixel hunting (no hot spot key) and the backtracking (no fast walk possible.) It's so basic that it has no options menu whatsoever, and no save menu (you'll have to trust the thing if you need a break.) The story doesn't make much sense, but it has its charm, it's fully voiced, and the art is nice. Recommended simply because it does work …

    Belladonna is a a short Point & Click Adventure game though it's almost more like an interactive storybook. The story is interesting but feels incomplete. Overall, it was an okay game. Not a bad way to spend 1-2 hours but also, nothing overly thrilling. It's a Gothic horror style story based largely on Mary Shelly's 'Frankenstein'. It does spend a good deal of it's time (keep in mind it's pretty short) on playing …

    BottomLine at the Top: More of an "artistic adventure" than a real P&C game but still enjoyable. For the P&C aficionado it's worth checking out but paying full price feels steep for what it is. ------------------------------------- Pros ------------------------------------- -I really like the overall feel of this title. It’s a weird combination of gothic horror but with a sweet and innocent protagonist. It reminds me of a Tim Burton movie. -Strange commentary and monologue from the main…

    Belladonna is a VERY short Indie itch/io game. A nice little atmospheric attempt at a game. Mostly reading notes which turns the gameplay into somewhat of a visual novel. The "show don't tell" rule flies out the window with this one.. The point & click gameplay is baby level easy, it is downright primitive. You leave the lab, walk around a few rooms and go back to the lab. That's it, that's the whole game.. - The story is greatly inspired by Mary Shelley's famous "Frankenstein" book, it is…

    A simple point-and-click game inspired by the Gothic, Frankenstein specifically and with a few references to the ideas of Romanticism. There is a lot of reading to do for such a short game; this doesn't bother me, but it might to someone else. So, there's a lot of story to the game but the puzzles are not very engaging.

    Book number 3 for the year is finished! I always worry about book series. I don't always like whole series. I usually like the first book and the rest of the series is a letdown. That is not the case for the Belladonna series. Foxglove ended up being a five star read because it made me cry and had the level of spice (a little but not too detailed) I prefer. I definitely recommend this series! #books #reading #bookstodon #belladonna

It's so basic that it has no options menu whatsoever, and no save menu (you'll have to trust the thing if you need a break.) The story doesn't make much sense, but it has its charm, it's fully voiced, and the art is nice. Recommended simply because it does work fine, is pleasant, and costs next to nothing when discounted.
