Message: [QUOTE="Gorse, post: 8913, member: 73"] [IMG align="left" width="215px" size="300x450"]https://howlongtobeat.com/games/Inherit_the_Earth_-_Quest_for_the_Orb_Coverart.png[/IMG] OK, don't get the wrong idea, but I really love [B]Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb[/B]. It's a lovingly-realized fantasy adventure game about a sneaky Robin Hood-esque fox who mistakenly pisses off several kings in a fantasy kingdom, and needs to go find a magical orb to prevent himself from being made into a fur coat. It's got extremely charming characters and some very funny dialogue, and the puzzles have a [I]perfect [/I]balance of koo-koo moon logic and accessibility that make the entire thing a very smooth ride. But what I [I]really [/I]like about the game is its setting. It takes place in an after-the-end scenario where all the anthropomorphic fantasy animals you meet are actually the result of intervention from long-gone humans. As you go through the story, you learn more and more about what's happened to this world – why everything is as it is, and how you fit into that role – and what first seems like a cute fantasy quickly turns into a very, very different kind of game, indeed. The secret of the titular "orb" is very engaging, and, despite ending on a never-resolved cliffhanger, the game's complete story is excellent.

Some of the pixel art is just breathtaking, and the soundtrack is pure [URL='https://youtu.be/s0u8b4LMIGY?si=6I1DM5a1ZoRVYiZu']bliss[/URL]. It's on Steam for $5, but goes on sale constantly, so if you have any interest in adventure games at all, I'd strongly urge you to check it out. [/QUOTE]
