All things considered, this was a very short game but one I didn’t find boring. The characters feel real, and with all the shows and movies that have taken place in the ’80s, it was easy to find this world relatable. This is a game you can play in one day and not get bored while also not necessarily wanting to play it again.

About
In the year 199X, young Evan must survive a bleak life in the snowy backwater of Landis, Oregon. One fateful day, his existence is forever changed by the dark influences of a strange visitor from another world. With the guidance of his new ally, can Evan stand up against schoolyard bullies? Will he have the courage to take on the equally abusive adults in his life, including his own infamous father? The Prince Of Landis combines the character-driven story and dialog of a visual novel with the exploration and puzzle-solving of an adventure game.

Critic reviews
- 5.8The Prince of Landis has some redeeming qualities, most notably the art style and the story/setting, and adventure game fans might find something they like here, but ultimately it falls short, mostly due to the shallow gameplay. The short length of the game is beneficial to the overall experience (as well as for all the achievement hunters playing the game), but I would recommend waiting for a sale to pick it up.
- 6.0The Prince of Landis is far more successful as a story than it is a game. It’s a take on the ‘80s-kids-find-something-supernatural’ template, but pushes it in a lonely, unsettling direction that also manages to feel original.
