How it feels
A linear side-scrolling action-adventure focusing on the quiet, after-the-fact perspective of those who bear the cost of political upheaval, with a restrained and story-driven feel.

What players say
Players praise the historical setting and story about 19th century French uprisings, but many find the gameplay repetitive and clunky. Opinions split on the ending, with some calling it surprising yet not happy. Most agree the 2-3 hour length doesn't justify the price.
