How it feels

You methodically click through grim pixel-art scenes, swapping between two inquisitors with distinct skills to unravel a short, dark-fantasy murder mystery.

What players say

Players call this a short prologue, about an hour long, that introduces a larger world. The point-and-click investigation lets you switch between two characters with different skills, like alchemy and lockpicking, and the pixel art is praised. Some note pixel hunting and wish for a key to interact with objects.
