Just Adventure by Darcy Danielson

"Let me just get this out of the way right at the very beginning. The Crystal Key is my cup of tea. ... This is just a good, old-fashioned, inventory-based adventure game, with some really pleasing and appealing graphics. The farther I went into the game, the more I enjoyed it."

"The look of some of the gameplay areas is very similar to graphics from the Journeyman Project series. There was an alien vessel definitely reminiscent of portions of these games. The one-click cursor keeps gameplay very immersive. A desert world gives the player the feeling of being on Lucas's Tatoonie, and there is an excellent recreation of a jungle. There are smoothly polished marble floors to glide across. But the graphical high point is definitely the Arkonian city on the water, which includes some absolutely phenomenal design and movie sequences that are so pretty, they are worth playing the game for. Riven comes to mind...."

"This is a game novice and expert alike can enjoy, well written and thought out, simple but not simple minded. If you are looking for a beautiful, immersive world mixed with classic Science Fiction, The Crystal Key is quite a find."
