Belladonna

The reason I recommend this is because it gets really cheap with sales. Not as cheap as it "should" be given how Plug In Digital somehow missed the memo on adding regional pricing for the LATAM region, but still cheap enough for me to let slide how short and [b]generally[/b] easy this is. I did spend a considerable amount of time going in circles because there's a crucial item that's needed at the game's most open point which I had to use a guide to use becuase I confused it with a mere artistic detail in a closeup scene. It does get slightly annoying in retrospect that right after this you unlock an in-game hint system which makes one end game subquest easier (it's an item which also blends with the background, though it's not as obscure). There's a fair share of flavour-only hotzones, though the game does seem to cheapen out a bit in a few rooms. Most of the plot gets delivered via some very obviously placed letters from the game's background characters. Only a few of these end up impactful on their own, but they're an okay gothic epistolary tale, albeit without much in the way of twists (hell, the final note you find does hint at a final twist that doesn't really go anywhere). It's also a bit deceiving in how it has tons of card drops for a game that's not even particularly replayable.

Belladonna (2015, разработчик — Niklas Hallin) — point‑and‑click‑квест в мрачном готическом стиле. Суть: героиня — ожившая «механическая» женщина с амнезией — исследует замок и по запискам восстанавливает историю трагической семьи, связанной с безумным учёным. Ключевые особенности: ручная рисовка, атмосфера в духе Тима Бёртона; сюжет о любви, потере и экспериментах над жизнью; озвучка главной героини, атмосферный саундтрек; классический геймплей: поиск предметов, комбинации, взаимодействие с окружением; платформа: PC; короткая продолжительность (45–60 минут). Минусы: очень мало головоломок, задачи простые; история подаётся почти исключительно через записки (много текста, мелкий шрифт); технические недочёты (баги с коллизиями, жёсткая анимация); ограниченная реиграбельность. Итог: подойдёт ценителям готики и атмосферных мини‑квестов — ради визуала и сюжета. Лучше брать по скидке из‑за малой продолжительности.

即使读了每个日记也就是一小时流程，结尾实在是有点草率，不过前面还是比较有趣的。

I'm not really a fan of point-and-clicks, but I did enjoy this game's strong aesthetic, short runtime, tiny twists, and bold ending. I love how the main character gives every statue a silly name — very cute. Thanks to stooart for the walkthrough guide here on Steam. Some of the interactibles are small and easy to miss.
