A product of its time I’m on my way to deal with the backlog of indie games in my library, and Daedalic bundle which was probably bought for literal pennies by everyone on Steam, but never played – was my next target eventually. I already played ‘E&H: Harvey’s New Eyes’ before ‘The Breakout’, and I actually liked this game, so my hopes were high as I started the original. Well, too bad, because I did not like ‘The …

Edna & Harvey: The Breakout is a great, quirky game. Developed by Daedalic when they made quality games versus the junk like Gollum.

Edna & Harvey: The Breakout is made in the style of a classic point n click game, with witty characters and moon logic puzzles. But that doesn't make it a bad game, rather the opposite! The gameplay is easy to get into, at least if you have played other point n click adventures in the past. From what I understand there are also no dead ends, and if you get caught in some sections it is not instantly game over - …

Genuinely charming point and click that had me grinning way more than expected. Edna is a great protagonist and Harvey the bunny is basically the whole personality of the game, unhinged little guy, love him. The humor lands more often than not, which for a comedy adventure is half the battle won already. Puzzles are hit or miss though. Some are clever, some had me staring at the screen like I missed something …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have you ever tried Daedalic's Edna & Harvey games? You absolutely should. They're the very definition of demented, especially the second game. The first one's like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest meets Calvin & Hobbes. The sequel starts jerking you around from the start of the intro narration!

You guide a Edna and Harvey on a whacky attempt to escape from her padded cell. They experience a bizarre journey all across the insane asylum and far beyond its brick walls. On the way you meet a whole lot of people which will help you to get out or try to stop you fom it! I really loved the Soundtrack and the Artwork of the game it made the game even more athmospheric. It took me around 11.9 hours to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First playthrough review time. The game uses a button system for every action. Most games just give the same short error message when you do something wrong, but here, the characters almost always have a unique thing to say. The controls are mostly fine, but sometimes you have to click things in a way that does not make much sense. There is a button to show everything you can touch, but since the drawings are very simple, it is usually easy to see objects anyway. The art looks like a very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I used to watch this when I was a kid but now when played it myself I felt that great spark again and I always loved psychological games in my opinion just sadly these types of games don't exist anymore and the story is pure gold recommending it for the plot :).

Sometimes kinda hard to realise what to do, but maybe that's because of me being so new to this genre of games. Fortunately one of my friends backseated for my entire playthrough. So I was never stuck for too long if I didn't know what to do, but also found out a bunch of things on my own.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Product not supported on Linux. I had bought it when I was running Windows and hadn't tried to play it until I switched to Linux. I contacted Daedalic support and *after a month of waiting for their response* was finally advised to use the fan Discord for support or to buy the Anniversary Edition which is supported on Linux. I think I won't be buying any more Daedalic products after that.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Relatively short game, however I've learned it was developed originally as a University project, so let that slide. All-round pretty good fun, interesting story and characters. Occasionally a puzzle can be a little too obscure, for example needing to arrange a table of peoples meals in such a way that you can start food fight with no real clues. However, overall would recommend for a nice little time-killer.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Edna & Harvey series is my favourite! I loved it as a child and now I can't go through a year without replaying it. Seriously, it is such a cute (sometimes a little bit dark...), funny and good looking game. If you like games such as this one (click and point), you will love the "Edna & Harvey" series!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was my childhood. I love it soo much. My mom played this when I was like 8 years old or something and I was kind of blinded by the cartoon like graphics that I didn't know what I would get myself into but my mom let me play (both this one and Harvey's New Eyes) and I had no idea what I was doing because I was a literal child and my brain wasnt developed xD but I still ended up loving it so playing this is just so nostalgic
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes, but this ain't it, chief. Too much random clicking and trying every possible option just because nothing here is solved logically. And playing with a guide isn't fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun point-and-click adventure with a lot of weird and funny moments. Edna and Harvey are a great duo, and the crazy characters make the whole game feel unique. The puzzles can be a bit random sometimes, but that’s kind of part of the charm. I really liked the hand-drawn art style and the dark humor. The story also gets more interesting as you slowly find out what happened to Edna. Overall, a really enjoyable old-school adventure that’s definitely worth playing if you like classic…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have yet to beat this game so it could just fall out the ass, but this is one of the most alive and funny point and clicks i've played in a minute. It's obtuse as ♥♥♥♥ and has a bit of moon logic, especially on the first couple puzzles, but the personality and dialogue of both edna and harvey about every little thing they see is fantastic.

neutral · AI labelView post →I don't know if I've ever played a game before that has something unique to say about each different combination of items used together. I mean most point & clicks will have some default generic message, something like "I can't do that" or something like that. But that was very rarely the case here. I liked the effort put into it that this implied. The story and the characters are funny and quirky but when you take off the funny presentation of it, some parts of it are quite sad. Definitely…

Now that the remaster exists, there is no reason to play this. I am not kidding, don't play this. This is like a flash game. It runs in a 360x640 window, and there is no other resolution. If you do get it, remember that there are 2 interact buttons in this game (look at and use i think). Use is enough for most interaction, but there is 1 moment that requires the other…

The characters in the Sherlock game interact with the player on an AI basis; you say something, they respond

neutral · AI labelView post →4) Edna & Harvey: The Breakout A chance purchase in a second-hand video game store brought me endless hours of joy. Few games have clicked with me like this did, replete that it was with countless little details and all manner of silly despite the relatively dark subject matter.
positive · AI labelView post →Its a shame that Daedlic no longer makes games. This was one of their best.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a standard point and click game. It's older, so it has some issues, but the gameplay itself is pretty solid. My not recommended is primarily because I don't like the characters and I don't feel the need to keep playing. I actually resorted to googling it to see if I was right about what I thought was going to go down and...yep. I'd rather not spend my time getting to that point.

This point-and-click adventure is brimming with humor as Edna devises an elaborate plan to escape the asylum. The game doesn’t shy away from the realities of mental health facilities, presenting a quirky cast with various conditions. But it’s the humor that stands out—balancing absurdity and slapstick without…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was whacky and fun but I got stuck and no amount of guides had the solution so I went and played Skyrim instead or something (can't remember since it was a long time ago but that's what I usually do) but if you like point and click games and have the patience then you'll probably like it. It doesn't hold your hand and you need to keep track of what you've done and NEVER take a break from the game or else you'll come back and have no idea what to do - that's what I did I think. 💩

neutral · AI labelView post →A thoroughly enjoyable Point and Click Adventure! Funny and cute throughout. Although most puzzles have clues and are relatively solvable, a few of the puzzles may be obscure enough to need a walk through. I used one a few times, and it did not detract me from enjoying the story and the rest of the puzzle solving. It has a great ending. Definitely worth a play. I'm looking forward to playing the sequel and other Daedalic Point and Clicks.

It has an old-school feeling and you can decide to play the updated Unity version or the old Java one. I prefer the new version because of the updated controls, which I found easier to use. Try it and you'll love to uncover the…

The plot is interesting as well, not super special but still decent. Truly a video game masterpiece. Music is atmospheric mostly but there are several really nice melodic compositions.

I actually liked Edna as a protagonist more then Lily in Harveys New Eyes, and not just because Edna actually talks. Edna has this sort of weird kid vibe, that doesnt feel like a caricature nor feels too undercooked. I KNEW a girl like Edna in Uni, so I think Breakout succeeded…
