I don't normally play point & click's but decided to try this one due to a bit more spare time on my hands recently, the fact that it was included in a bundle and it looked like it had a unique graphical style.

At points during the five hours or so I spent with the game it had moments that could've converted me to the genre. The game had some scenes that followed logic and there were a couple of puzzles that gave a degree of satisfaction to solve. Sadly, the majority of puzzles were convoluted and followed little logic. The last chapters were the ones that carried the most guilt. I found myself just wandering around, finding a new item and then having to revisit every object and NPC to see if the new item would interact with it to further my progress. In the end I had to regrettably resort to a walkthrough, checking the other reviews I seem to be not alone with this.

The overall experience felt cumbersome and the story had no real depth. If the game was any longer than it was I wouldn't have persevered to the end (even though I used a guide).

The game is not a complete travesty and may appeal to fans of the genre? It's not put me off enough to not try another point & click, but I won't be recommending Truberbrook in a hurry.
