The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav
For centuries the kingdom of Andergast has been at odds with neighboring Nostria, but now first steps are being undertaken toward a lasting peace. But a plague of crows troubles the king, for the birds are acting with unusual aggressiveness, even attacking humans. As the belligerent creatures infiltrate even the castle itself, the king seeks a skilled bird catcher - an opportunity for young Geron to prove that the reputation for ill luck that has followed him since childhood is undeserved. However, the task will prove much more difficult than he expects, leading him on an adventure that will take him to the borders of the charted lands of Aventuria and beyond.

I never thought I'd say this but the weakest part of this game is on the technical side - "casual" animation just doesn't bode well with the glory-esque backgrounds and epic setting. The other drawback is the often limited movement - even though linearity isn'...
