Jeppe & Oswald is an lovable side-scrolling narrative recreation the place you might be enjoying a foolish pixie attempting to go the pixie examination.
This recreation is predicated on a sequence of German youngsters’s books of the identical title, turning the tales right into a extra interactive expertise. As you need to turn into a pixie that lives in the home of people, it is advisable to go a sequence of assessments. Your hamster pal is typically serving to you, however appears to not need you to turn into a home pixie, so typically they simply attempt to get in the best way. The examination itself is spit right into a bunch of various chapters which you are able to do in any actual order; going by means of the home and brushing spiders away, leaping by means of the forest on the again of a squirrel, throwing blueberries on the hamster man… there’s a lot to be completed earlier than you is usually a pixie.
The sport is, fairly clearly, aimed toward youngsters. With that in thoughts, the degrees themselves have an excellent selection to them and I do like that they’re free-form in the best way that you could decide whichever degree you need to play subsequent. There are cutscenes between points of the sport which really feel loads like watching little TV reveals. I see this being a really partaking recreation for the viewers that they wish to acquire, even if you happen to’ve not heard of the guide itself.
I received the possibility to play a bunch of Jeppe & Oswald at Gamescom the place I came upon all in regards to the books alongside the sport. I do assume that the co-op mode, which provides Bjolla – a forest pixie – to the sport, will make this one of many titles that my baby desires to play with me as properly.
Jeppe & Oswald is at the moment in improvement, however within the meantime, you may add it to your Steam Wishlist.
