Jo, moniI'm curious, does anyone know if you upgrade to a Special Edition when you have the lower version already do you just get charged for the difference in price or does Steam consider them to be 2 different games? I don't think it's worth buying this particular Special Edition version over what I have already because I don't really care about the extended Music or Sketches but I am curious Bouncy Puppy

Played a bit the game is fun with some challenges and a couple of frustrations. Love the guards speech - reminds me of minions. Guard that needs to go to the bathroom is pretty funny. I get that Tsioque is in prison with her kingdom under siege but that constant grimace on her face makes me think anger management. All in all really enjoying the game

I've started to play this game a long while ago, but then I stopped waiting for the company of you girls. I really love this game, it's funny and witty.
I wonder who else is playing? Jo, lurkercat, are you guys on board?

mooky had written a great review about this game, actually I got Tsique because of her review. I would like to copy/paste the review here, maybe it would recruit a couple more players for this game.
POSTED: NOVEMBER 17, 2018
UPDATED: NOVEMBER 17, 2018
Product received for free
Mooky’s review on Tsioque
Tsioque (pronounced Tsjok) is great little adventure light game by the Polish studio OhNoo. You play the character of Tsioque, a fair-haired little princess. When her mother goes off to fight the dragon, she is left alone in the castle with an evil wizard. He captures little Tsioque and she finds herself locked in the dungeon. Here your adventure begins.
For me, as beginning adventure game player, it was mostly trial and error to find my way through the game. In most games I find that very frustrating, but not in this one. You spawn where you make the error and you can try over and over again until you get it right. Some tasks require a sequence to do them. Like "if you not have done A, you will not be able to do B". Even if it is obvious what needs to be done if you haven’t completed a previous task, you won’t be able to do so.
You have to find your way, defeating soldiers by misguiding them or lure them to certain mishaps. You have to do it on your own, no little helper in this game. Gameplay is easy to master and the game world isn’t that big, so no map needed (not even for me). I found the humor to be great and entertaining. Even if you can’t understand a word the guards are saying, you will get the message. A little spoiler: the guard that needs to pee is to die for. I was laughing out loud so much that my husband came to see if everything was okay. You can leave the game very easily with the ESC button. You will come back where you have left off, so no jumping back to a previous save point.
The end of the game was a surprise and it fitted so well in the storyline. It was a conclusion I didn’t see coming, it made me smile and it left me with nothing but warm feelings inside. It was even a bit emotional to conclude this game. I wished it would go on a bit more. But then again, it didn’t feel like a game that I found too short. Everything fits, everything is right.
The game is very pleasing on the eyes and ears. Sometimes I left the game running in the background because I enjoyed the music. I encountered no bugs and the game ran very smoothly. I don’t have a sophisticated gaming computer; my beastie is 6 years old and running on Windows 10.
This is the second game of studio OhNoo I have played. Before this one, I played Tormentum-Dark Sorrow. Both games I enjoyed immensely and I only can recommend them both.
I want to give a special thanks to Lukasz Rutkowski from OhNoo studio who was kind enough to provide me with a Steam key for Tsioque so I could write this review.
I highly recommend this game and look forward to any other game developed by this amazing studio.

So glad I'm not thrown back to the beginning of the game every time I'm caught by the guards. Wish I had some big weapons or magical powers. Doing some trial and error with a little frustration but I'm getting there.

Ok, so the stairway chase could have been as bad as the raindance BUT they didn't always make you start at the beginning and there was a SKIP GAME. However I remained  |

So on the stairs it took me a while to realize that I was insane (I was trying the same stuff over and over hoping for different result). Then I noticed {Spoiler}
...the little fuzzy spidery thingy over the lever of the lights on the top right, and clicked on it. That took me bit further, then I was surprised to be {Spoiler}
bombarded with cats ( Whaaa???) and was scooting and jumping not knowing what to do really then I thought {Spoiler}
I ask the fuzzy thingy to operate the lever once again ... and that took me to the escalator - I had fun to figure out how to stay undetected and get to the tower bridge. On the bridge it was kinda straightforward what to do, and now I'm in the ground in the castle being shot at with arrows by a very tall and a very short guard, and once again, I haven't the foggiest how to get out of this.
It's been a while I've enjoyed a game this much. It is surely something different.

LOL smitty189, this was FAST!!! As usual, I'm jerking to get ahead.
Would you say that it was not really an "adventure" game in a conventional meaning? I think, it has a good amount of "arcade" elements, and of course, there are no mini puzzles that normally added to adventure games.
Congratulations for completing the game, and  for playing it with me. :-* |

smitty189 , moni , I congratulate you both for hanging in there. I am so terrible at this game that the frustration kept me from going back. When my youngest grandchild comes over this week we'll work on it together. I need all the help I can get.
