PC Critic Reviews

Still, Violett is only priced at $10, and it’s probably the type of game that’s going to go on sale a lot, so if you’re looking for something different then it’s not the worst thing in the world to purchase and try out.

Violett is quiet and unassuming, but it steadily weaves a tale about childhood fears and desires with which we are all too familiar. Despite its surreal setting, it has a very personal touch that grounds it.

Violett is an interesting adventure for fans of the genre.

Despite the lack of a storyline (apart from the opening cinematic), Violett does reasonably well in keeping itself interesting.

Most necessary elements of a winning formula are in place, but Violett desperately needs a story to bind the disparate parts together into a classic experience.

An intriguing premise and interesting art style aren’t enough to drag Violett up to the level of other more accomplished point and click adventures.

You might enjoy the time that you spend with Violett, but you should approach it with modest expectations and a good deal of patience.

Abstruse and sometimes outright broken in its design elements, Violett commits the worst crime for an adventure game: it confronts the player with poorly designed puzzles that require little logic and lots of luck and clueless clicking in order to be solved.

As it stands, Violett is a mess, and a disappointment on every level.
