About This Game The mean cruel cold blooded tyrant Ceville ruthlessly rules the beautiful kingdom of Faeryanis. Or rather, he used to rule the beautiful kingdom of Faeryanis, until the brave people revolted against his regime and drove him out of the palace. The kindhearted queen Gwendolyn did step up to reign over the land with a council of noble and wise advisors.. It seems that this story could end just like any other fairy tale: "And they lived happily ever after..." But no, that's not quite right. Because another evil rises within the land. The treacherous Basilus — counsellor of Gwendolyn and of Ceville before her — plans to take the crown and torture the realm with the help of murderous beasts he has summoned from the planes of eternal darkness. All seems lost! But hope resides with the one most unlikely person imaginable to save the kingdom and restore peace to the realm: Ceville, the realm's former despotic ruler... Ceville The ancient ruler of Faeryanis and spare-time tyrant, is dreaming up evil plans to exact his revenge on his former counsellor and servant Basilus, who betrayed him. Ambrosius The noble and somewhat self-important knight Ambrosius is Ceville's would-be-nemesis. He constantly attempts to capture Ceville — but usually with little success. Will they both team up to fight a greater evil? Lilly The gentle and kind girl Lilly is rather an improbable choice to team up with Ceville. Never the less she helps him to escape for the good of the realm (at least that's what SHE thinks!) This game will give you an impression of what happens, when you mix up the setting and humour of Shrek, Discworld and the Monkey Island series. up to three simultaniously playable characters with weird but loveable personalities bizarre characters from stock-broker dwarves and hippie-elves who populate the fairy-tale realm of Faeryanis various locations all over Faerynis, like the Not-So-Hidden druid circle, the (former) Elven Forest, The Dwarven Mines of Mount Goldmore and more! a variety of puzzles, many of which that can only be solved by teamwork of two (or more) player characters tons of humour 1075eedd30 Title: CevilleGenre: Action, Adventure, StrategyDeveloper:Realmforge StudiosPublisher:Assemble EntertainmentRelease Date: 27 Feb, 2009 Ceville Download For Windows PC It's very rare that I don't like a point & click adventure game but I just really couldn't get into this game.The graphics are kind of meh. They are not as good of 3D textures, rigging, and animating as I would expect from a game in 2009. At the time I'm writing this (2019) I realize the graphics may not be up to modern standards 10 years later but I never liked this style of clunky, cartoonish 3D animation and I know that they could probably have done better in 2009. I did my own amateur hobby 3D animation around that time, which was pretty crappy, yet most of it was still better than the textures and animation in this game. I don't have a problem with old school graphics, many of my favorite games are 8 bit text parsers whose graphics even 20 years ago were considered pretty bad. But in a newer game it either needs to fit with the game (like it's meant to be a retro game mimicking an older style) or it really needs to feel like it fits with the story.I couldn't like the main character Ceville no matter how much I tried. I often like characters who are similar. Deponia's Rufus is also a bit of a self centered greedy jerk, I often enjoy playing rogue characters that are snarky, greedy, etc... but I just couldn't like Ceville. He is not a character I enjoyed playing. The story isn't very entertaining and I find Ceville's voice grating. The story isn't that compelling and the writing is only passable. Nothing memorable or particularly entertaining. The jokes were not that funny. I get that offensive stereotyping fits with the Ceville character but the writers just failed to integrate that in a way that made it funny in the game.This game feels more like a puzzle game than a point and click adventure. Maybe it get's more adventure-ish later in the game but I couldn't even finish it I disliked it that much. I like puzzles in an adventure game but this felt more like moving from one puzzle room to another puzzle room and it didn't feel like the story progresses much or that there is something rewarding to me the player in moving forward in the game. Some of the puzzles are logical others really are not. The pacing is awkward and too many of the puzzle rooms are timed for my taste. Most of the puzzles are not very complex but puzzle after puzzle after puzzle just left me mostly feeling board with the game. I didn't get the sense of adventure and story telling I expect from the genre.I couldn't stand playing it past the part where he gets locked up in the jail cell. I couldn't take any more than that and that is really unusual for me. I am a completionist so I like to finish every game I start. I will even replay games I don't really care for just to get all the available achievements... and yet I couldn't stand playing Ceville through once. So I really can't recommend it. I bought it cheap during a sale so it's not a big loss to me but I wouldn't waste your money on it even on sale.
