Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Edna wakes up in the padded cell of an insane asylum with no memory of her past or how she ended up there. Only one thing is for certain: She has been wrongfully imprisoned and will have to escape! After all, she feels entirely sane – and her speaking stuffed toy bunny Harvey wholeheartedly agrees. Together they undertake a daring breakout attempt, meeting up with numerous oddball inmates, like the Man in the Bee’s Costume or Siamese twins Hoti and Moti. But Dr. Marcel, the sinister head of the institute, will do everything in his power to stop Edna. What evil scheme is afoot? Slowly Edna begins to regain her memories of the past…
Help Edna escape from an insane asylum in the most acclaimed German adventure game of 2008. Edna and Harvey: The Breakout is a point & click adventure game in the vein of the genre’s classics. Backgrounds and characters are completely 2D and drawn by hand in the game’s unique cartoon style. An extraordinarily long gameplay experience, thanks to challenging puzzles, extensive dialogues and more than 120 screens.

EDNA AND HARVEY BREAK OUT
This is a point and click adventure game from a German company, Daedalic. You play in third person with your avatar either Edna or occasionally Harvey (blue soft toy). The game starts with Edna in a padded cell of an asylum with no memory of how or why she is there and the object is to escape the asylum and remember the past events that brought her there.
Along the way you will meet several characters connected to the asylum, inmates and employees, all with quirks.
This is a game to take your time and do lots of unlikely things like talking to inanimate objects. Most objects give some response, very likely a humorous one. Exhaust all dialogues, again there are humorous responses tucked away, waiting to be discovered. Everything is mouse-driven in the game.
The game takes a few seconds to save and load. I had a couple of freezes during play at a screen showing lots of monitors. I killed the game using windows task master and reloaded to continue. Apart from that, everything ran as expected.
Because of the lack of information given at game start the drip feed of small nuggets of intelligence on playing through kept up interest right to the end. I thought the ending was a little sad and more realistic than the preceding gameplay would have suggested. Still, no game is perfect.
The game uses cartoon graphics throughout. The style reminds me of the cartoonist "Larry" and a bit of "The Simpsons". Characters are voiced throughout, and well done. Music and sound effects are also well done. Movement and animations ran smoothly. No technical problems were encountered.
Puzzles I rate as easy to medium. The clues to solve them are there, provided you recognise them. I did not require a walkthrough. There is an English walkthrough which became available on the day I completed the game.
Game length is a pleasing 20+ hours.
Summarising, this is a really good game, with a good few laughs and well worth the effort. Who says the Germans don't have a sense of humour? I fully recommend this game.
I played the collectors edition (which included a soundtrack CD and an A2 poster) under win 7.
