Effie Review (TheSixthAxis)
TSA writes: "There are very few games that deal with old age in any significant fashion. Of course, gaming is still viewed as a young person’s activity, despite the increasing number of senior folk who have grown up alongside the hobby. Exceptions such as Old Man’s Journey are welcome, and most usually focus on quiet and meditative gameplay. Effie, an oldschool third person platform adventure game, promises to offer up a different take on the idea of being old. In using a traditional fairy tale involving a witch’s curse, the game seems well set to really interrogate the emotional and physical nature of living in a geriatric body. The reality, however, is less inventive as the interesting narrative plays second fiddle to the conventions of platform gaming."
