60 of 87 · most liked firstVery nice adventure game from 2010, but it is quite different from current flagships of genre like Deponia, Syberia and even The New Beginning. Its strong part is story dynamic - it flows continously. Actions which are required for progression are grouped in small sets of locations to minimize the frustration of pixelhunting. Actually, I haven't noticed any major 'how-to-progress' gameplay stalling. Pros: 1)Graphics is quite pleasing even for 2010 2)Continous story progression due to smart…

This is a good game and it doesn't get the credit it deserves. First I would like to address some criticisms that this game receives and then I will give my personal review. When I read that this game crashed constantly, I decided I still wanted to give it a go. The story sounded very original and I liked what I saw from the store page. I played this on Windows 7. Did the game crash? Yes.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Updating my review to reflect the fact that I have now finished the game. The negative reception to this game was a bit surprising to me at first. The game couldn't be that bad, could it? Well, after playing I can safely say, yes. Yes it is that bad. The opening pre-rendered cutscene almost had me fooled into thinking this game would be a cool, fast paced action thriller adventure. Those hopes were quickly dashed by the first in-game cutscene. Here's a full list of everything wrong wth this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing. - Martin Luther King, Jr. 15 Days is the second of House of Tales' games that I've played - and I'm pleasantly surprised about this one, despite the bulk of negative reviews. The first game from the developer team that I've played was The Mystery of the Druids, and it was little else than a straightly bad P&C adventure. Now this one, is both enjoyable and thought provoking. Sure, it's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After several crashes where i lost too much game play and had to start over i couldn't be bothered anymore. You have to save manually and sometimes i just forget things like that lol. There were a lot of slow cutscenes and a lot of talking. Talking that you could skip thankfully. The 1,5 hour that i was playing i was really bored. Sometimes i had no idea what i had to do so i just randomly clicked on things. The game looks decent, the audio was good and the story (so far i have seen) was…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- Graphics are not too bad - The story was OK - Running and shortcuts with double click - Most of the puzzles are easy but sometimes annoying . For example if you have to search the web for a name but don't remember it (there is no journal) - Lip sync is horrible or not existent - I didnt't like the control - Wooden character animation - Game chrashes sometimes (for me first time after two minutes of playing) Got the game in a bundle but would definitely not buy it for 9,99 €
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed this very much. I had a few crashes but I do think in my case, it was due to my older computer . I made sure to save constantly, every single transition (even though the game does have a very good automatic save system, I'd recommend saving more...) There are several comprehensive reviews here on the review page that are worth reading . The game is fun! It has a great story, engaging characters and good voice overs. The game play is all point and click and there are no action…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not a bad adventure game. It's not a good game either, more of a "meh" experience, but it doesn't entirely deserve the negative rating here. Pros: - Interesting story. - Decent graphics. - Very good voice acting. - Great movement controls - you can walk, run, fast travel between rooms and teleport on the map. - Skippable cutscenes and dialogues! Cons: - During the 9 hours of my playtime the game crashed 15+ time. That's a lot. It's even worse that the game doesn't have autosave so you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is your typical point and click adventure game. Feeels "old" like it was made in the 90's. I Didn't know what to do next sometimes - abit annoying. Not really story rich. Liked how you play the villians AND the detective which is highly unusual never encountered this in a game before. A few bugs. For this reason sadly I wouldnt reccomend you part with your money One bug I could not pass at all I have only been able to play 3 quarters of the game I may have to transfer someones save file…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed this game very much. The end left me with some unaswered questions though. But overall, I give this a 7/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't beleive this game has so many negative reviews. To be fair, I agree with the following flaws: The game crashes, a lot. I was a bit worried I wasn't going to make it through to the end becuase sometimes it would crash in the same spot, but I did. Just keep re-loading till it works and save often. The other major flaw is that there really aren't very many puzzles at all. Mostly you click on things and the story progresses (this was minor for me though, cuz I wanted something easy). On…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's an interactive movie, not a game. I remember solving only 3 puzzles in the 8 hours I played. I was searching for things to grab but there wasn't anything to interact with apart from a few scenes. The worst thing is, how did I have the patience to restart the game while saving all the time because it broke down. The only nice thing was the graphics and listening to Britons. It's nice to have a change of acents here and there.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played game for 5 hrs and then it stopped working and won't load again...so no...I do not recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I Must Be Strange.. Based on the completed game. I'll give it 3 stars leaning for 4. Obviously I should buy all older games with a “neutral or lower rating” I seem to really like them for the most part! Might be my oddness showing. I’ve found the Adventure Company games to date are my favorite’s however I think I've only played two. :-) This was a shorter yet fun enough 3rd person point and click game/movie.. There are countless characters that appear is this game. I found it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all I'm not a person who normally enjoys point and click adventures as I find them rather slow developing and cumbersome story wise and this game is by no means any different. Also I agree with those who highlight that there are a string of nasty game crashes which most people will get to experience especially in the Paris/catacomb region. While there is an inbuilt crash reporter in game, one would wonder if this actually works since those crashes have been existent since the games…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Highly unstable. Game crashes randomly and frequently to desktop, with a dubious pop up message inviting you to send an error report to the developer. Had to rely on a game walkthrough video on youtube for an explanation of the plot at that one point towards the end of the game, at the cells, as I could never get a proper explanation of the plot by the characters without the game crashing. Had to save the game at every single stage, after every major plot sequence or dialogue, to avoid having…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is an inherently broken game. i wasted considerable time to running properly this crap but i eventually gave up to try. just a friendly advice. don't waste your time trying to work this game just like me. i think it's so embarrassing they released this game with this beta state.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →15 Days is an 10 year old point-and-click adventure game with a crime theme. Set in modern day London, make the world better by stealing famous works of art from museums, selling them on the black market then giving the money away. Graphics are 3D models on pre-rendered 2D rooms. I've seen worse premises for games, and the point and click genre isn't quite dead yet, but 15 Days is simply too old and hasn't aged well, despite a lot of effort being put into the original game. It does run,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game was alright, not really outstanding but it still was an interesting concept and I've enjoyed playing it. Unfortunately the game is very prone to crash. So be sure to save a lot. Usually after restarting the game it then didn't crash at the point it did before, but one part I really couldn't get past a scene without crashing, so I was forced to watch the scene on YouTube and just cancel the scene that caused me to crash by hitting escape which allowed me to continue.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →oran-mor.co.uk/events/vgc-l... (look, it's an obscure one but I'm not turning down a game literally called 15 Days)
unlabelledView post →I did The Mystery of the Druids with some friends and somehow decided to play every House of Dreams adventure games. Well this one is ... Barely an adventure game to be honest. More like a bad visual novel. Barely any puzzles or reflexion needed, just go where the people tell you to go and see what happens next. I did have a few giggles here and there but ... about 10€ for that ? Not worth it. There are a bunch of other better adventure games that last longer for less than that price on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was going to give a "meh" to this game, but after seeing the price tag I have to give it a not recommended. It was short (I finished in 6 hours) and wasn't very enjoyable. The first half of the game is bland and they pick it up on the second half, but even the fun parts aren't very fun. Gameplay's not fun and story's below average in my opinion. The animation is horrible for a game that focuses on story and dialog, and voice acting also isn't great.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, enjoyed it. Decent storyline & would recommend. Run in Compatibility mode to avoid the crash issues (Go to \Steam\steamapps\common\15 Days\rhc.exe, right click file and run Compatibility Tester - should default to Windows Vista SP2). To sort the quiet voice over, just turn down the music and special effects to about 30%.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crashed constantly.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good point & click adventure to finish in about 6 hours on windows 10. Good graphics, sound and gameplay. Buy it only on a sale, not worth full price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, I bought this game because I love Point & Click games. But this game is... Well, let's proceed in order. - Graphisms/Animation : it's not that bad for a 2005 game with a low budget. Excuse me, you say? 2010????!!!! Holy sh- - Story : it sounded pretty boring at the beginning but if you can persevere until the first heist, it's not that bad. - Gameplay : well, there are some puzzle in this game and some are hellish as hell when they're not "buggy" or without common sense. One point that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You have to save manually, and the game crashes....... so I guess I should have been saving every 5 seconds just in case it crashed? Lost an hour of annoyingly slow cutscenes that I don't want to see again, so I guess I'm done with this game forever!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: -What few puzzles exist are all skippable, but none are all too hard if you fiddle with them long enough -It is refreshing to see a point and click that isn't heavily drenched in humor Cons: -Short (I probably have on record twice the required time due to doing other things while the game was up) -Saving is important because crashing is spontaneous. VMware might help mitigate this issue -It's not a TV show. If someone wears the same outfit, that clearly isn't a uniform, for over a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game actually isn't bad. I'd say it should get a 6/10 or 7/10. The acting is great, storyline is great, the puzzle finding makes sense. Some stuff towards the end kind of don't make a ton of sense from a story telling standpoint but overall I'd recommend this game. I got it in a bundle which came to about 90 cents per game. The reason for the low score were the crashes. Now, I didn't have any crashes with the web search feature in game that some players have reported. But for me it did…

I heard that you were in a game based in the UK (to authenticate this, there were Fish n Chipz trucks left and right as well as bad weather sometimes). I would ask that you refrain from participating in such games from this point forward. Our family name has been dragged through the mud on many occassions and I wouldn't want it to happen again. Please stay away from…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buggy, no autosave, slow character movement, no options to change screen resolution, and a boring story. 5/10.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR 15 Days is one of those games where I wish there was a "recommended with caveats" or "recommended on sale" option, because that's exactly what I would pick for this game. It's a short point and click game with ups and downs. Nothing to write home about, but nothing awful either. If you like point and click titles and it's on sale, get it. If not, pass. The Good - Mechanically, this is your typical point-and-click game, so if you are looking for something story-focused and easy, this will…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Adventure with a nice story. To play on Linux I used Proton 6.3 and protontricks. The game is crashing a lot with d3dx9_39.dll, so I changed it using winecfg executed via protontricks --gui. After that I got one crash before end of the game, but it was not a problem, because I was saving often. Alt+Tab worked well pausing game in background.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →15 Days, a game that doesn’t take 15 days to complete, but it’ll feel like it. Our verdict: Unworthy Find out why in [url=https://tgexp.com/15-days/]our full game review.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terribly buggy game. Always claims to be running and wont shut down so I can't uninstall this mess of a point and click adventure.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got to be honest I don't give to many negative reviews. I had hopes when starting this game that it would be good but I had a real hard time with it. I did push through till the end of the game, but it leaves a lot to be desired. The story is ok, but the way it is delivered is slow and unexciting. Another big issue is the audio, which leads to many other issues. I could barely hear the VO since the ambient and music was so loud. I tried to adjust it, but it didn't help. I often found myself…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Game started of pretty slow but it soon sped up and became interesting. If you like Point & Click Adventures definetly worth the purchase. Be Aware Keep saving the game because It crashed around ten times on me especially during the lengthy cut scenes but apart from that it was a really great game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game crashed repeatedly when I typed a search into the in-game search engine. I might have tolerated the pace (slow), the graphics, etc. if only it didn't crash repeatedly with no obvious solutions. I play lots of mystery and adventure games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was better than the reviews were making it out to be. I enjoyed the 3D character and environment designs, controls are simple but UI can be a bit annoying to use at times. While the game is contained to small areas so you don’t have to do too much backtracking, there are hints on what to do in dialogue which sometimes you might miss, an in-game journal would be very helpful but usually eventually you can figure things out. I was surprised by how much voice acting was in the game, this…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very enjoyable story. Puzzles weren't too difficult but I didn't mind that because the story was so good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OK game for its time. Decade old game technology ---- you must take that into consideration. And - Wait until its on sale!!!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Make sure you save often because this game crashes quite a bit. I like adventure point and click games but this one is not that great and kind of boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I kept wishing for death. These characters are far from sneaky and should be arrested for stupidity among other things. It is a miracle the main character has survived as long as she has. The game did crash on me a few times. I welcomed the crash at the end and I just didn't care about the outcome, so I didn't even try to play it again. However, I do like how you get to switch between characters to perform different tasks that all lead to the same goal. I just think there was way too…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Admittedly I didn't get very far but I didn't want to. 15 days suffers from that directionless feel some Click'n'points have. The puzzles need to be completed not because of any in world reason- (I wasn't allowed to get in the car until I phoned an old friend to just talk shop. This apparently is neccessary for the stor, even though it has no apparent effect on the next part and could be done upon return as well.) This means puzzles aren't intuitive and instead rely on the player interacting in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The graphics are sub bar, the interface is a nightmare, and the biggest "screw you" of them all is that it CONSTANTLY crashes. I couldn't even get past a certain level because it constantly crashed. I finaly just gave up. STAY AWAY
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoy point and click adventure games a lot and I play a large amount of these games. I would have liked to enjoy this game as well, but this game [15 days], is far too frustrating to play with all of the inevitable game crashes. I think I crashed like 5 times in the first 15 minutes.. I could tell I wasn't getting anywhere with this game at the rate of the crashes popping up, so I chose to abandon playing it. This game crashes a lot, constantly. There's a crash report window that opens when…

The game crashes frequently and it was a bit of an endurance test to get through it - the graphics are dated, and the story doesnt really grip you. Puzzles are more a trial and error than logical - and some of the use a with b, and move the mouse pointer till you find the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting story, however the conversations are very awkward as are the movements of all of the characters. The previous two things seem to appear in all of the Adventure Company's games (at least the ones I've played). It is very difficult for me to get past it, but once you do, the game is alright. Definitely wait until this game is on sale before buying.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For the record, House of Tales was the same company that made Mystery of the Druids back in 2001, plus two other point-and-click adventures that I have yet to play. Druids, while an awful game, was at least hilarious for both its nonsensical puzzles and poor writing and animation. It was the perfect kind of trainwreck. 15 Days, on the other hand, just left me feeling angry afterwards. I'm not going to go spoiling the plot here to explain, but let's just say this game's horrible reputation is…

It came in a bundle or on sale, I bought it but have literally NEVER loaded it up - and I show over 145 hours??? What is this thing doing when I'm not at home?? 0.o (I'll post a better review once I actually load the game and play it :P)
