Imagine opening up a book containing Russian fairy tales from the early 20th century – envision the mild pastel colors, ♠ the stenciled lines, and the humble imagery.

Keks is designed to be perfectly evocative of that peculiar style, which is fitting ♠ given that the company that made this game, Igrosoft, is Russian. Just at a glance, the game sports a gorgeous ♠ visual style that would befit even the finest collection of fairy tales. The game’s humble but charming appearance is certainly ♠ endearing, but does the gameplay hold a candle to Keks striking visual appearance?

Going Down a Treat

The game isn’t designed to ♠ have any sort of ostentatious design – the subtle use of colours and imagery are instead meant to reflect the ♠ humble origins of the folklore from which it draws its inspiration. The game’s icons reflect a number of

relevant ♠ in many Russian folk tales – a black cat, an accordion, a rolling pin, as well as what appears to ♠ be some sort of Kirby knockoff.

The game looks to take place inside of a kitchen, complete with a doting grandmother, ♠ and basket full of dough. The game’s interface is intuitive and designed so that even the newest players can jump ♠ right in and start playing without an issue. On top of that, the game plays really smoothly, even on older ♠ computers.
