How it feels

A slow, grim point-and-click where you methodically parse cryptic riddles and navigate a plague-ridden, morally murky medieval world.

What players say

Players love the unique medieval setting and the option to play in Latin, but warn that the puzzles are obscure and require a walkthrough. The protagonist is a memorable jerk, and the game is full of easter eggs, though bugs and abandoned support frustrate long-time fans.
