In the beginning, Giraffe pushes you into going into a ghost-infested dungeon – talk about peer pressure – without even a wooden sword or spell at your disposal. The overall mechanics of the game are mostly a letdown, too. And Giraffe and Annika‘s monotonous fetch quests will have you going back and forth so much you’ll have seen everything it has to offer in no time.
