    Such a great game, from the art, to the stories, characters, history, and actual gameplay. I love that you get to see characters and town through generations. Note that there are three acts, the first two of which play like a murder mystery. This game feels like an oldschool point and click game, but with walking. There is no inventory, combat, levels etc., instead most of what you is make dialogue choices that…

    If you are obsessed with religious ascetics like me this is the game for you. Just learning new vocab and historical terms makes this game worth playing. 9/10

    First two acts gave some sort of detective story, third one was just click to pass dialog. At the end it felt sinply shallow. There wes a couple annoying answer-dependant dialogs, for example when doc says "Ok, I'll tell you what I know", the the only answer is to tell him go F himself - bravo.
