Truberbrook's handcrafted backdrops are strikingly beautiful, and its delightful to see such craftmanship woven into a video game. When it comes to the rest of the experience, though, there's very little to sing praise about. As a point-and-click adventure, this fails woefully. As a story-driven mystery, it tediously chugs along without offering anything of substance. Die-hard point-and-click gamers might be able to find some signs of life, but for everyone else there's little here to admire beyond the handcrafted environments.

Generally, unless you're incredibly interested in the spectacular visuals, I can't recommend Trüberbrook.

Trüberbrook is visually and musically pleasing adventure game based on a solid idea and interesting story pitch. However story itself is not so good. Plot twists fall flat, dialogues have a lot of problems be that in the way they are written or in the way there are said. Solution of many puzzles is plain stupid and graphical user interface could be better. All of this spoils overall gaming experience. In my humble opinion Trüberbrook might work better as a short movie than a videogame which is kind of sad.

Despite the great presentation, troublesome narrative, disjointed mechanics and the lack of a clearer direction stops Trüberbrook's beauty from dazzling you enough to keep you interested in the game. Maybe next time, studio btf might fix these mistakes and reach the potential that they already clearly have.

Trüberbrook is not a bad game, but with its slow pace, one-dimensional NPCs, overly simplistic gameplay and abrupt ending, its not an easy suggestion.

Unless you're a die-hard point and click aficionado, it's difficult to recommend this adventure. One thing is for certain though: It's not worth its RRP of £24.99.

Trüberbrook offers us a precious adventure that, despite its limited difficulty and a certain narrative awkwardness when interspersing the different chapters that make up the story, will enter our eyes thanks to its overwhelming visual finish and will reach us directly into the heart, where it will connect with that kid inside us who, years ago, wanted to be Fox Mulder

Truberbrook is a truly charming point and click adventure game that gets most things right. The issues that are present are more than outweighed by the brilliant visuals, great audio, and enjoyable cast of characters.

This game has a few sizable issues that hold it back from greatness. But for genre fans, Trüberbrook succeeds thanks to its sci-fi plot, quirky voice-acted characters, and exceptional aesthetics.

The story of Trüberbrook has an intriguing concept. However, it is resolved too quickly and lacks an impactful revelation that it was seemingly building to. Nevertheless, the voice acting and visuals alone have left me so impressed they eventually became the reasons I continued through the adventure.

Trüberbrook drew me in with its gorgeous visuals and had me hooked with its story and narrative. Even though the puzzle solving is mostly limited to narration options and simplified environmental inventory puzzles, the various personalities you’ll interact with really helps to make each solution different from the last. The process of how the developers created each environment in real life, then scanned them in, all whilst applying powder to create winter and their own lighting for the various time periods, is all very fascinating and perfectly came together into a spectacular visual treat for your eyes!

Truberbrook is a game that I have personally quite enjoyed. It wont be for everyone, and if you`re not a fan of point and click games then you do need to stay away from this.

While I enjoyed my time in Trüberbrook, I did find the story a bit haphazard. That being said, the story was good enough to keep me invested until the end of the tale and at times, comical. I loved the art style, characters and environments. The whole aesthetic was very pleasing and beautiful to look at. The game does bring some welcome gameplay tweaks to the point and click formula to cut down on pointless trial and error meandering. I liked that a lot, more point and click games should do this and I really appreciated it.

In order to do justice to Trüberbrook, one must distinguish between two or three basic aspects: Story/Gameplay and Presentation. While the presentation is on a very high level thanks to the good voice actors and the unique backdrops, the other two aspects are a bit different. Despite its straightforwardness, the story is relatively interesting, but quickly loses its tension because of the rather average game mechanics. Basically, the studio btf proves that everyone involved understands their craft very well and also solidly applies it to video games, but that they can still use some help when it comes to game mechanics. For fans of point & click adventure games it's definitely a nice title for in between because of the low price. All in all Trüberbrook is not a title you have to have played.

Truberbrook is a very average, obsolete adventure, which by all parameters, except graphics, is inferior to the last Leisure Suit Larry game.

If you’re looking for something with a bit more quirk, some initial mystery, and a load of enjoyable characters Trüberbrook has the goods...

WORTH CONSIDERING - I had high hopes for Trüberbrook. With its unique graphics, surreal setting, and sci-fi point-and-click adventure I figured it would be right up my alley. Unfortunately clunky and slow controls combined with so-so puzzles and uninteresting dialog made for a slightly above average affair.

I wanted to enjoy Trüberbrook but mediocre frustrating gameplay can only be helped so much by amazing art.

If you can overlook these problems, Trüberbrook offers up fun moments all the way through.
