Pocket Gamer: Albert Einstein said that the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
If that's the case, then Edna & Harvey: The Breakout is as crazy as its protagonist.
For while it reminds us of a lot of the things we used to love about point-and-click adventure games, it also repeats a lot of the genre's old mistakes.
STP: Edna & Harvey isn't what you might expect. Its cute, cartoonish animation can fool you. While this game may be about a young woman and a talking stuffed rabbit, there is a hidden darkness here. It's not a horror game by any means, but the story and the atmosphere will draw you in with its growing mystery, while also surprising you with its tone. It's an adventure game for any lover of a good story.
TMA: I remember fondly spending a lot of time with adventure games back in the 80s and early 90s when the likes of Sierra Online and LucasArts reigned supreme. TellTale Games has done a good job of recapturing that magic, as has Bulkypix with their recent release of Yesterday. Now you can add Daedalic Entertainment to that list with Edna & Harvey: The Breakout. This adventure game about a young lady and her bunny has humor to rival the best Sam & Max installment, artwork that is quite delightful and some great voice acting. There is plenty of game play as well, which oddly enough might be its biggest detractor – there’s almost too much to do. Still, this is one nuthouse I don’t mind visiting.
148apps: Edna & Harvey: The Breakout is a bizarre yet traditional point and click adventure, previously only available on the PC.
