Surprisingly - one of the best adventure games of the 21st century in the "Indy" category.

Cateia mostly makes and publishes rather "hidden object" casual games, but here we have a classical point-and-click adventure game. In fact, it was created originally by Naphtalite Productions and personally by Petar Ivanček - I remember playing the demo version back in 2006. But he did not finish it, so it was Cateia who has completed and published the game (and still supports and updates it, wow!).

Anyway, it is seldom that practically everything is excellent in a game made by such a small team. The graphics are great (they do resemble the classics like "The Curse of Monkey Island", but it is definitely not a clone we see here!), the settings are unique (you can name quite a few of "Steampunk" adventure games - and this one has a Slavic / Eastern European vibe in it that I have never seen anywhere else!), the puzzles are good enough to be neither too easy nor too hard - and not repetitive or monotonous either (we are talking about adventure game puzzles of course, like Inventory- and dialogue-based, not about pure Myst-like puzzles)!

The only possible complain I have is that the Croatian game does not support a Croatian language... Not that I speak Croatian, but, well, it would be better to see and hear characters speak their native language instead of English or German. Those two voiceovers were added recently - the German one seems to be much better. Although I still prefer to play it in the text-only way with manually dissmissing all lines after I read them - luckily there is such an option.

In any case, "Kaptain Brawe" is a must for any classic adventure game fan!
