It has a couple of problems here and there (like odd echoes to the dialogue), but it sports a couple dozen intriguing puzzles, it's well made, and it's well acted.
-
A fantasy-filled adventure with an extraordinarily magical atmosphere. The puzzles are great, the interface is simple but good, and the school of magic is terrific. Although there is too much running back-and-forth, Keepsake is an adventure worth playing. [May 2006]
-
82In all, Keepsake may not redefine the genre; the graphic adventure genre is definable by its tenets and only its mechanics seem to change from game to game. Still, this game is fun, very attractive, offers an excellent story and a ton of puzzles.
-
82Although nothing about Keepsake sparks the furnace of mind-blowing innovation, it is still a well designed and thoroughly compelling game that traditional adventure game enthusiasts of any skill level can dive into and love every second of.
-
I just hope you will enjoy it as much as I did and if you start playing it, please try to finish it, so you could experience the really emotionally touching ending, reminding you about one of the best human emotions. Love.

80A refreshing newcomer in the world of adventure gaming.
-
80There are other minor niggles, but none should detract from the surprisingly entertaining experience that Keepsake offers.
-
80With all of its mysticism, strange but curious creatures and dazzling surroundings, 'Keepsake' will be a sure-fire hit with the Harry Potter crowd if they don't mind exercising their wits as well as feasting their eyes.
-
Keepsake is a very enjoyable game for the most part, although you may find yourself pulling your hair out at times. You should definitely give this game a try, if only for the beautiful graphics and design.
-
What with gorgeous graphics, sumptuous music, compelling story, elegant interface, and a really well conceived hint system, it stands out from the pack.
-
80Strong, challenging puzzles, a perfect hint system, and an intriguing story makes Keepsake one of the better adventure games to come out in a while.
-
80The puzzles are fun without being too daunting and there is an intriguing mystery to solve which is your ultimate goal. There is a gentle and poignant story and with a name like Keepsake you may be surprised to learn that one of the themes is about letting go.
-
78For those of you who are fans of sitting down and getting wrapped up with a decent puzzler that will keep you entertained and guessing, this is one worth giving a run.
-
An enjoyable adventure experience, with few technical flaws and shortfalls.
-
77For puzzle adventure fans especially kids this game can't possibly miss. Definitely worth a look if you like mysteries as well.
-
72The second half of the game really drags it down. The puzzles in the upper levels are more often than not just frustrating or make absolutely no sense. The portal travel gets ridiculous at points.
-
Those whose idea of a good adventure involves inventory puzzles and plenty of characters to talk to may be put off by the emphasis on solitary exploration and puzzle solving, particularly given the game's surface resemblance to other quest-style adventures. But the beautiful setting, along with an interesting storyline, clever puzzles, and lots of little magical touches all help to bring the game to life.
-
This is a tough recommendation because you have a really great start and a really great ending, but there is this mess in the middle I don't want anybody to endure unless you are a glutton for puzzle punishment or don't mind using the built-in hint system.
-
65I think Keepsake can be appreciated by a small percentage of adventure genre lovers if players pace themselves.
-
60An adventure game that could have been much more if players weren't preoccupied with the game's poor voice acting and bugs. That said, if you're itching to play a new point-and-click PC adventure with good puzzles, you might not be disappointed with this sub-$30 game.
-
Keepsake ultimately feels like a lot of conundrum strung together loosely around a lackluster storyline and lots of jogging.
-
52It's got some occasionally interesting puzzles, but the lame story and irritating characters kill whatever appeal Keepsake might have had.
-
52The latest in The Adventure Company's point-and-click offerings, Keepsake is billed as "part mystery, part Harry Potter." In reality, it's part boring and part really boring. [July 2006, p.99]
-
Who knew that solving a mystery at a school for wizards would be so tedious?
-
38Keepsake isn't simply forgettable-it's just plain bad, trampling on sacred narrative ground with insipid characters, putrid voice acting, and brain-dead storytelling.
-
Do yourself a favor and forget this Keepsake. [Sept. 2006, p.76]
