I've been a fan of the point-and-click adventure game for the last fifteen years, cutting my teeth on games like Full Throttle, Sam 'n Max and Grim Fandango. When I heard about Kalypso Media's PC adventure Ceville, I was cautiously excited. When I heard it rumored that Ceville aimed to be the spiritual heir of these classics titles, I was skeptical; defensive even. The game's trailer released in February added weight to the promise of adventure game greatness, which both allayed and worsened my fears. Turns out, it was no problem at all for Ceville to fulfill its considerable promise.
Ceville rules the kingdom of Faeryanis. In spite of his small stature, Ceville is a sarcastic, merciless tyrant; something like Rowan Atkinson's nasty Blackadder character combined with Danny Devito. At the game's start, the people of Faeryanis have grown tired of having their spirits crushed under the king's tiny bootheel so, with the help of his main advisor Basilius, they overthrow and imprison him. Enraged, he spends his time in prison plotting his revenge with little hope of realizing it until a clever young girl named Lilly comes along and agrees to help his cause.
