This is such a lovely game! It's like Lucas Arts made love to Tim Burton and Prim came out. Great art direction and voicing, lovely puzzle design, and a sountrack that beautifully ties everything together. A joy to behold and interact with. Just little things like the way your little eyeball spider friend is animated; the atmospheric locations, the carefully constructed sound design... I could go on and on. If …

A must-play for fans of classic point-and-click adventures I've loved point-and-click adventures for over three decades, and Prim instantly won me over. The hand-drawn black-and-white art is absolutely stunning, the soundtrack perfectly fits the moody, emotional atmosphere, and the story pulled me in right from the start. What begins as a dark coming-of-age tale quickly turns into a deep journey about loss, …

Just the right type of Pratchett X Burton vibe that you get by looking at the screenshots. Bonafide (ho-ho) old school point and click fun.

Players who liked PRIM talk about beautiful hand-drawn art style reminiscent of Tim Burton; those who didn't talk about some mini-games are frustrating and mandatory. Which matters more to you?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Prim is a game that gripped me from the beginning, as if it were a book that you just couldn't put down. The story revolves around Prim, who, after the death of her mother, finds out that her own father is none other than the Grim Reaper. Sounds crazy? It is a little bit - and that's exactly what makes the whole thing so exciting. Prim is forced to live with him in the realm of the dead, but of course she has no desire to abide by his strict rules. After all, she is sixteen and would rather go…

I already used this image for one of the game overs in Primides Quest, but back when I created this piece, I was still using my old shading for tar-/kronos blobs. So I tried to adjust the shading to my current style. Maybe I'll edit the other ones later, too.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After much thought, I cannot honestly recommend this game. I really loved the demo- the art hooked me right away- so I honestly thought the full release at full price would be worth it. It is an extremely easy game, and why on earth did the devs think making a mini-game mandatory for the story to progress was a good idea? It is a really terrible mini-game at that. It was just mind-numbing and it pissed me off immeasurably that I HAD to play it, many many times. Once I worked out that FUMBLE…

I've seen a lot of people saying the game is dark and it is in a way but by no means it's too dark. It involves death and loss but it's not sad, it's funny, it's not Little Misfortune, it's family friendly so I consider this a cute game rather than dark. Gameplay is traditional point&click.…

neutral · AI labelView post →I don't think it's a bad game. But I also don't think it's a good one. With all the potential in the beginning, the second half is just exausting... Good: Most solutions and moves in the game are logical and can be achived with thinking. Most of the time (we'll get to it) you don't need to click the same place multiple times to get to needed script, or click the same object randomly to everything in hopes of something moving you forward. Characters are nice and rememberable. Fair amount of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While there is nothing inherently wrong with the game, there are almost no locations for you to explore, while the game keeps teasing you with setpieces that never come up: the mysterious scullcave, the castle of Hades, the deep forest. Even when you start accepting that you will only be able to access the areas marked on your map, the fields and elysium area get mashed together to a single boat ride, where you use 1 item to get another item.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Requested by @hoodielazer.bsky.social. Anise invited Appel and Prim to a game of strip poker. Clearly she overestimated her opposition and had to take matters into her own hands if she was going to get to join in on the action. Part two?
neutral · AI labelView post →Ultimately, this is more of a neutral rating, but for the price (~$20 full price) I would expect more. It's a competently done point-and-click adventure, but nothing really stands out about it. The puzzles are very much standard, somewhat derivative p-and-c fare, some more difficult than others, some more combine-everything-until-something-works than others, but nothing that really differentiates it from other games. The dialogue is safe and family-friendly more than anything, which leaves it…

positive · AI labelView post →Sad that I cant recommend this game. While enjoyable, it is too short at this price point. There are three areas on the map that look like there were plans to expand into but needed to hurry up and just finish something. If it goes on a deep sale and you love point and clicks it is worth a run through.

It was a pleasant surprise that puzzles (logical interactions) were actually logical. The game feels comfortable to play without checking the hints. The humor side of the game makes it unique as well. Yet, I stumbled on the card game. I'm not sure if it was a bug I caught somehow or the instruction wasn't correct.

Borrowing heavily from Greek mythology (especially from the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice), it stands out for its artistic take, excellent characters (and suitable voice-acting to go along with them), fun and inventive puzzles and mini-games (including a card game that's surprisingly simple for how entertaining it is), and more than appropriate achievements, most of which can be found quite intuitively by avid p&c players.

Prim is an easy point and click adventure game to get into, making it ideal for those who are not a veteran of the genre. It has a limited number of areas and items, intuitive puzzles, and some easy-to-understand minigames, making it a game, where the player can get an overview of the possible options and…
