Read my full review on Adventure Game Hotspot.
Excerpt: While Twilight Oracle is certainly fun to puzzle through, the plot is little more than an easy excuse to present a bunch of fetch quests and inventory puzzles. These are simple enough and don't take much thought, especially since the game isn't all that big. As long as you click on everything and everyone you see - often more than once, mind! - you shouldn't have much of a problem. I got through the story myself in only three hours. And there lies the rub, because I wanted the fun to last, I wanted to see more, I wanted to utilize the kids' special abilities more than once. Without spoiling anything, there's a huge deception going on and an ulterior motive for having sent these kids on their mission, but the villain in the story isn't much of a mastermind. So if you're looking to delve into the equivalent of a full interactive novel, you're better off looking elsewhere, but taken as a short story, Twilight Oracle really works and you'll definitely enjoy it while it lasts.
