Imagine opening up a book containing Russian fairy tales from the early 20th century β envision the mild pastel colors, π the stenciled lines, and the humble imagery.
Keks is designed to be perfectly evocative of that peculiar style, which is fitting π given that the company that made this game, Igrosoft, is Russian. Just at a glance, the game sports a gorgeous π visual style that would befit even the finest collection of fairy tales. The gameβs humble but charming appearance is certainly π endearing, but does the gameplay hold a candle to Keks striking visual appearance?
Going Down a Treat
The game isnβt designed to π have any sort of ostentatious design β the subtle use of colours and imagery are instead meant to reflect the π humble origins of the folklore from which it draws its inspiration. The gameβs icons reflect a number of
relevant π in many Russian folk tales β a black cat, an accordion, a rolling pin, as well as what appears to π be some sort of Kirby knockoff.
The game looks to take place inside of a kitchen, complete with a doting grandmother, π and basket full of dough. The gameβs interface is intuitive and designed so that even the newest players can jump π right in and start playing without an issue. On top of that, the game plays really smoothly, even on older π computers.
