The game is now available for free on Kongregate (by the own developer, not piracy) with more content than the paid version, so if you buy this, you're paying for a downgraded version of a free game.

I played the prequel games on Kongregate.com which made me excited for this. I suppose it's worth the small price if you want a few hours of a fun little puzzle game, but I honestly think the puzzles on the free prequel games were more challenging and fun than the ones in the actual game.

I was really disappointed in the game. The prequels on kongregate are far better and thought through. I liked the prequels so much and they hinted at such an interesting universe that I decided to buy Eternal Link. It's a good thing it's cheap. After only 7 hours playing, the game is over (and that's playing for the first time). Having the prequels in mind, I was expecting a point and click adventure game, something Monkey Islandish. Instead, I feel like I got a much more limited universe than in the prequels, with only a couple of screens available, and a game where you basically are told where to go all of the time, and you must strictly obey the instructions and not think for yourself. It's basically just pressing arrow keys and Z mechanically over and over again for 7 hours. Puzzles are rare, and forget about the point and click part. It's basically just walking around one screen up, one screen down talking to NPCs. It's a shame, because the characters, universe and story do show a lot of potential (as the prequels showed us), but I feel this right here is more of an unfinished concept than a game itself. Would not play again, nor would I recommend it.

Now that you can play the game for free on Kongregae with more content then in this version there is no point in buying it. Just play it there and save your money.

Fun game, took me aboout 3-4 hours to play through (with one more playthrough on the horizon to grab the couple achievements I am missing). A couple parts were a little fustrating, but I got through. Remember, if you run out of your daily herbs, go to bed and you can collect them again. If you keep running out, either you need to find a more efficent route, or as it was in my case need to explore a bit to find another place or two you can get more of them.

The ending was a bit to tidy for me, but it was alright. I will refrain from saying more to avoid spoiling anything however! It is a pretty cheap game, but I say give it a try. It felt like decent value for money to me.

This game has some excellent character arcs and storylines, but unfortunately destroyed the characters by forcing them into some needless political propaganda. The (b)romance between the two main characters was forced and unnecessary, escepially since it had no character developement to lead into it.
