How it feels

A retro-style point-and-click adventure that feels like a clever, historically-grounded tale of masked heroism, balancing lighthearted humor with dramatic tension as you solve puzzles and duel with wit and sword.

What players say

Players are split on this throwback to 90s LucasArts adventure games. Its pixel art, music, and atmosphere are widely praised, but the game is just as widely criticized for requiring a PDF manual to start, heavy pixel hunting, illogical puzzles, and overly long dialogue. Many say the nostalgia hits, but the frustration outweighs it.
