Stories of Bethem could have been a worn-out old tune; instead, it turned out to be a breath of fresh air. It is full of paradoxes. There is nothing new about it – familiar adventure/ RPG, good old story, tried out mechanics. Yet, these elements seem to be the tried-out components of a successful adventure game, and Stories of Bethem uses them with dignity, spicing the genuinely entertaining gameplay with great 16-bit design and an excellent soundtrack. It is highly polished, deep and meticulously crafted, which makes it even more surprising why it’s free. I recommend this little treat wholeheartedly to anyone fond of the genre, Zelda-like adventures, or just willing to explore the indie side of the market.
