Gameplay

The player controls three characters who are art thieves that steal artwork and give the money they make to charity.[2]

Development

The engine developed by House of Tales allowed the developers to use tracking shots and pans which are usually impossible with prerendered backgrounds.[3]

Reception

According to review aggregator Metacritic, 15 Days has a score of 63 based on 6 reviews.[4]

In a one and one-half star review ("Poor"), Adventure Gamers criticized the game for its gameplay, bugs, and lack of content, stating there were only two standalone puzzles, and that the most of the game is just walking between rooms looking for something to do. When you meet an NPC person to talk to, you just click a single dialog icon and they tell a player something, without any other interaction on the player part, no choices for what to say at all. [1]

Gamestar felt the game's puzzles were too simple for adventure gaming aficionados.[5] Gameswelt praised the appealing and authentic nature of the game's aesthetics.[6]

gollark: Your parser will parse EBNF too?!
gollark: Weird thing to have dedicated syntax for.
gollark: Oh, so it's meant to occur if you have just `ident (":" expr)? "=" stmt`? That's not much better.
gollark: Okay, that applies iff you have *exactly* the literal text `<ident>(: <expr>)? = <stmt>`. That will be a weird parsing edge case but sure.
gollark: Besides, *I* did not make it up.
