Patchwork

Another good looking game this week in the shape of Patchwork.

On earth a scientist named Daniel has just completed work on the first teleport machine. Animals have already successfully been teleported and now it’s time for a human guinea pig so Daniel decides he will be the first man to teleport.

Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, a young magic student called Lin is about to have her first try at summoning a demon in preparation for her upcoming magic exams.

What could go wrong?!

In this lovely little game you play as both Daniel and Lin in a clash of worlds where technology and magic need to combine without conveniently placed electrical sockets and fuel!

Backgrounds are nicely hand painted, character art is good and speech portraits in particular are very strong. There is a decent atmospheric soundtrack and good sound effects.

Puzzles are good and all in all this is a lovely way to spend an hour.

Sounds like a winning combination!

Character art and speech portraits somehow remind me of Jack Orlando (which was a poor game but had wonderful artwork, animations, voice acting and music).

Is this a one-man project? And if so, did he make anything else?

It is a one man project by an artist called Ilyich and I think this the only game he has designed and made entirely himself…?

However, he has worked on other games including Quest for Infamy, Shardlight, Technobabylon and The Charnel House Trilogy as well as some freeware stuff. Mostly character portraits/art I think but some backgrounds too.
