I didn't expect much when I bought this game. It was super cheap and I wanted to give it a try...
Well, I'm glad I did. I've never played a game quite like it. It's like an endless exploration puzzle, in a way. Difficult to describe without giving away too much. It's quite simple, yet there is a lot to discover. If you like history and storytelling you are certainly right here. For the most part this game is heavily based on narrative. Well, and then you discover there is a whole other side to it. If you like, you can also discover very dark chapters (you don't have to, you will be warned in advance and you can still fully enjoy it without playing that one). There are a few bugs here and there, but all in all, this game is a hidden treasure.

This game is a masterpiece really! Great story and plottwists! The graphics are good but not superb! But i guess noone plays a storytelling / puzzle game for the graphics mostly! I think the biggest pro of this game is how fast it gets you hooked with its story! Give it a try !
