  Good adventure game with good hidden objects scenes, good puzzles and good enough story. 5 hours of play. + not banal puzzles + nice hidden objects scenes + story wasn't bad but also not very good + music and sound effects + graphics + minigames I don't see any bad things in this game but i wouldn't buy it for it's price - buy it on sale for half the price. Overall: 7/10

  [h1]Short version: 15%[/h1] Dark Parables 13 is a crime against humanity in a fragmented object game format. Playing it hurts the eyes, and not even the exciting backstories or the lovely scenery can help with that. [h1]Long version:[/h1] Requiem for the Forgotten Shadow has a great atmosphere and some good collectable parables. Everything else is, however, terrible. The fragmented scenes are the worst. Everything has the same colour, the fragments are too small, and there are too many details on all background objects. It hurts the eyes, and it can even make you dizzy. It is still not as bad as the adventure-lite parts. There is a strange blinking effect on many actions, it is like an epilepsy test. At least it is easy to tell which items to collect and where to use them. Finally, the puzzles are long and tedious. The last one is a mouse-only quick-time event, probably the worst puzzle I ever met in a hidden a casual adventure game. Although I was praising the backstories, I can say the opposite of the main story. It quickly falls flat on its face with lousy pacing, a dull plot, and probably the worst voice acting in a game published by Big Fish Games. If you are going through the entire series, then, sure, play this one too. You will regret it, but if you are a completionist, that can hardly matter, eh? For everyone else, just stay far away from Dark Parables 13.
