"reviews": "“The Dark Eye is without a doubt one of the most original computer games ever created.”<br>GameSpot<br><br>“The Dark Eye is original and utterly engrossing, and fans of the macabre will find it a journey worth taking.”<br>PC Gamer<br><br>“It’s so much easier to appreciate now, experiencing it not so much as an adventure game as an art installation – a thoughtful fever dream that stands as an utterly unique companion to the works of Edgar Allan Poe.”<br>Adventure Gamers<br>",
