If you liked Myst and enjoy spooky/dark atmosphere, this is a good game for you. The puzzles were challenging but not impossible. The only negative is that this game was trasnlated to english (from polish I think) and the translations are a bit off, you definitely get the jist of what they're saying but it often comes off as a little goofy which detracts a bit from the dark atmosphere.

All in all, a good point and click puzzler with unique artwork/graphics.

It is something different that candy style HOPA games I played before. There is an amazing mysterious and strange climate , game is hard (in positive way) it don't give us too much tips (and it's good for me). It is creepy. Some could say art design is "unfinished" or that arts looks like concept arts, for me this arts make untypical climate. As fan of adventure game and as indie developer I think this game is worth the purchase for every adventure game player or hopa player who likes horror/creepy games with interesting story. I wrote it after 40 minutes of play so I will update this review when I'll finish game. I hope it will give me hours of great fun and thinking :)

1HEART is a nice mix between classic point and click and hidden object genre. Game definitly has it's own, dark flavor and interesting plot.
The puzzles are a bit harsh sometimes, but retro adventure players should not be suprised.
I'd recomend this to fans of HOPA/PnC games that are not afraid of the dark ;)

I have at the time of writing this, nearly 30 hours of time in. Most of this is me starting over again and again while I was recording my walkthrough videos. With that in mind, I want to share my thoughts about this game with you.

First: Are you are a fast action, first person shooter, explode first ask questions later kind of person?
If you said yes and get bored reading a review half way through then this isn't the game for you.

This is a point and click adventure puzzle game. There is no combat mechanic in it. The game makes you think. So if you enjoy puzzles and creative and/or critical thinking then this may be something you like.


Second: Are you used to games holding your hand? Do you skip the dialog knowing the answer is in the journal or marked on the map for you?
If you said yes then this may not be the game for you either.

This game has a story and a plot. This game has a clear direction your character is going in. The difference is that it doesn't tell you what that is. The character has no clue what is going on and so why should the game tell you?

Third: Are you a snob for perfect grammar and spelling? Do you judge a game by its sound effects? music? graphics?
If you said yes then this may not be the game for you either.

This game was created by a polish company. Words, Spelling, and Grammar don't always translate well the first time. The development team is working on fixing that of course, but people like to take their shots when they can. It's a translation issue not an intelligence issue. Also the game isn't full of CGI or motion capture cut scenes. They use very well done stills and limited animation paired with an excellent narrator and music to get the mood across.


There will always be someone who has something bad to say about a game. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. But look carefully at what they are saying before you judge the game by their words. This game is thought out, well designed, and the challenges require observation, problem solving, and some skill. Some of the puzzles are static puzzles, others are random, but no puzzle is repeated in the game.

tl:dr ?
If this is where you skipped to don't buy the game. It isn't a game for you.

If you are here for a summary? ok then.
Classic Point and Click Adventure Puzzle. A throwback to the 90s
Good graphics and music set the mood and theme for the game.
Controls? they are exact, no room for error
Replay ability? low unless you are a completionist and want those achievements!

I've only played this game for about 90 minutes so far but I'm loving it. The story so far is interesting enough to make me want to continue playing. The gameplay is very similar to your typical BigFishGames hidden object game but even with that I would say you should give it a try. If you're into the high action shoot-em-up games of today then you may want to pass on this.

A great find that hardly anybody has played. It was hell trying to find a decent walkthrough guide for this. Some of the puzzles were a pain in the ♥♥♥ and things i would never even think of, Made me rage quit for like 5 minutes and then i was at it again wanting more. I loved the style of the game and the pictures. Definitely an unrated; unknown game. (the creepiest part about this game is that it could happen to you!) 10/10

Before looking at time played, I have played 4-5 hours worth offline

This game's story is a little confusing and its design is VERY simple. But this is a case where a simple point and click riddle adventure can make for hours of fun. The riddles are genuinely challenging and the environments are quite pretty. After all the time playing....im stuck.... But i do recomend this game if you have time to kill and want to challenge your brain. Also fun to race a friend to the end...i lost but it added to the fun

8/10

I strongly recommend it. It has a really great dark heavy atmosphere, with some nice eerie cutscenes (I just love the narrator's voice). There is a good variety of puzzles (some very hard to solve, some easier) which is great. I wish there was more games like this one having both a compelling story and strong puzzles.

Итак, я закончил игру, и все почти ясно.

Впечатления очень хорошие. Угнетающая атмосфера игры, визуальный и аудио ряд - все дополняет и завершает общую картину игры. Сложные головоломки это как раз то, что необходимо. Отлично сделанная Point&Click игра. Есть небольшие огрехи в переводе - встретился пару раз польский язык вместо английского. И один слот для сейва - это кошмар. Там нет никакого способа, чтобы переиграть в какой-то момент - и надо начать все с начала, или, разве что, перед этим вручную сделать бэкап сэйва из папки с игрой.

8/10

in English

So, I finished the game, almost everything is clear.

Impressions are very good. Depressing atmosphere of the game, the visual and audio series - everything fits and completes the entire scene of the game. Challenging puzzles are something that is necessary. Well done Point&Click game. There are small flaws in the translation - met a couple of times a Polish strings instead of English. One slot for save game - it's a nightmare. There is no way to continue the game from some point - you have to start all over again, or manually make a backup of your savegame file from game folder.

8/10

A very quirky story about an eccentric (must be millionaire with all the contraptions, bunkers and cities he can build) who likes to kidnap children (and panda bears?) and perform emotional and cognitive experiments on them. Hence if your a police officer looking for a quick promotion, performing a drug bust at 'Chicken in the Corn' studios might be the place to go.

Is it scary? NO

Does it make sense? Hell NO...

Is it supernatural? Not really, though you will come across a borg ghost? Apparenlty when we die our souls still carry their robotic parts with them? Lost me there...

So what is good about the game? The game hardly holds your hand and the games settings is quite unique in comparison to what else is out there. There is versatility when it comes to the puzzles that will test your memory, speed, accuracy, maths etc.

What is bad about the game? It can get infuriating playing the same thing over and over again, just to get your hints back again, as the game only awards you with a very few spendable hints.

Still worth the look if your into point and click adventures and something different, and if it ever goes on sale...

10/10 would sell cards 3euro each again

This game is a lot like other point and clicks I have played. Many of them were free online flash games, so thats the experience I went into this game with. First things first. Do you like a challange? If you do this may or may not be up ur alley...
This game has the tendency to throw a lot of items at you without any explination, hints, or dialogue that might lead you forward. Most items needed are hidden, as in the blend very well in the back ground. other times the damn items are not picked up, even if you have clicked them 2 or 3 times. for example,
*SPOILER*
the crow bar thing you need is next to the vent of the raised city. I clicked that ♥♥♥♥ing thing 4 times. the 5th time I guess I clicked it in the right spot because I picked it up.
*SPOILER END*
A game should not be hard, becuase the mechanics are ♥♥♥♥ed up. and as for any direction in the game, there is none. you basically wander about not knowing where to go and what to do next. maybe thats a apart of the ambiance. who knows. it left me wishing there was more story line in the form of notes, or messages. I felt like I was just doing random things that had no real significance. (yeah i know its point and click, the point is to solve random puzzles) but some good PCs have story to them or reference other storeis or events.

Next comes the graphics. The digitially drawn graphics were nice. they added to the creepy factor and the dream like atmosphere. I wish there was a bit more creepy invovled but its fine the way it is.
My biggest problem was the grammar. (ignore my bad grammer, i dont care suckas) throughout the game, there were rubish sentences and misspellings, like "the doors ale closed" "ale" closed dont you mean "are" closed? and others with no subject verb agreement and in some cases, the use of wrong words. I know they are polish, but still. If you are going to have an english version, get a translater, not google translate. The narrartor was cool, I really liked his voice.
I dont see my self playing this game again. which brings me to a close.
TL:DR
the game as messed up mechanics, and you dont always pick up an item after clicking it. the bad grammar was distracting but the narrator and graphics were cool. The lack of intructions and dialogue in the form of notes or messages, made it feel like I was wandering about aimlessly.
so I give it a 5/10. I wouldn't really recommend it. its problems are not bugs per say but fixing the game would require making a new one.
also the creators could have gone so much further with the ghost girl, and other NPCs. you dont encounter anyone but a few animals.

went to the game and immediately saw this awesome design!
game captures from the first minutes
\developers tried to fame\
game is filled with a variety of levels and it is very unformatted to the world of cyber-gaming
I got much more than expected
THX(!)
I advise everyone to buy this game

I cannot even GRASP this axe

not good like cs, but still good as hell

Great atmosphere that literally left me with goosebumps at times. Puzzles were fair, however I can't imagine getting all of the collecting achievements. The story was well crafted albeit short, punctuated by a final line that stuck with me like a nail in a coffin.

This is a good, dark, point and click adventure game. It has an original "drawing" artstyle which I found weird at first, but it fits the theme well and you get used to. Puzzles are great and some of them are hard but most you can solve without looking for clues on the internet (I had to do it once but it was more lack of attention than anything).

The one bad thing I found is the ending. But don't worry, it doesn't ruin the experience.

IMPORTANT: Only click on tips if you are REALLY stuck. The game only offers around 4 or 5 tips on it's entirety.
