The tagline of Keepsake is "An Unforgettable Adventure." That's not only about the most generic and vague description possible, but it's also completely untrue. Keepsake is so dull and forgettable that once you reach the end of the 10-plus-hour adventure, you'll have a hard time remembering why you...

Unique and challenging puzzles; Handy hint system helps keep the game moving

Some of the worst voice acting you will ever hear; Blurry; low-res backgrounds; Dull characters and an uninteresting story

Genre: Adventure Publisher: The Adventure Company Developer: Wicked Games Release Date: March 31, 2006 There used to be a time when all adventure games were more or less like this: set in far off fantasy worlds with themes of wizardry, dragons, mages guilds, and an ever-lingering sense of journey.

Keepsake has been in development at Montreal based Wicked Studios for some time now (we did an interview with them about the game back in the fall of last year). Thanks to The Adventure Company, North American gamers everywhere can get their hands on the title, and it was well worth the wait.

Keepsake is the first adventure game title developed by Wicked Studios, a small independent game development studio from Montreal, Canada. The story of Keepsake takes place in an elaborate and beautifully rendered fantasy setting called Dragonvale Academy.

One might think that it's a little late to hop on the ‘student in an academy of magic' wagon that everyone seemed to be jumping on a couple of years ago, when a certain first movie in a series came out in the theaters. Well, it is, so at this point you have to hitch your own wagon.

One of the best games for ages. Nearly as good as Return to Mystery Island which I rated one of the best ever. Good story line, great graphics. Most puzzles are not to hard and if you can't do them there are hints. Well worth the money

Become a student in a world surrounded by magic and mystery.

Keepsake is the latest overseas import from The Adventure Company. In the game, you take on the role of a young initiate named Lydia. It's your first day at the Dragonvale Academy, where the land's mages go to learn their craft, but when you arrive at the front gate, nobody is there to meet you.

Keepsake was released in 2006 but looking at the excellent graphics I would think it was very new. It is simply gorgeous with the towering sculptures and beautiful gardens to walk around in. The characters are not pixelated and the scenes are good even with a widescreen monitor.

This game runs fine on Win 7 x64, with no need for compatibility settings. It is an adventure/puzzle game, and the graphics, while dated, are still nice. I find that I am using the hint button a lot, just to see exactly where to go next, because it's not really clear (like when you start the Trials...
