Second monthly game done


Awesome game. If you have it in your library, go play it. The first episode is for free.

I got the season pass a while ago for not much. If I remember correctly it was perhaps 6-8€. Worth every cent. Honestly I thought the game would bring me maybe 5-10 hours of gameplay. I knew it was 5 episodes and all the Telltale Episodic Games got me used to 2 hours per episode. Well, it took me about 5-8 hours to complete the first episode. So much story, so many puzzles, so many things to discover. Sadly Episode 2-5 each take only about 2-3 hours. Ended with about 20 hours of gameplay at the end of the story. But went back for a lot of achievements I have missed.

Episode 3 is very interesting, because the choice you make here influence the story (a bit) for Episode 4 and 5.

The game is part of my current Theme and ABC list.

Oh and fun fact: This is marked as "Point&Click", yet you don't have a pointer and cannot click. This is played either by keyboard or controller. Totally recommended to use a controller as you often times need to walk diagonal ;)

Sounds fun. Wishlisted!

Does it definitely take multiple playthroughs to get all the achievements, or can it be done in one?

Depends on the Episode. Episode 1, 4 and 5 can be done in one playthrough. 2 and 4 requires two playthroughs.
But when you do not use guides you will need probably one additional playthrough per episode. And I cannot recommend using guides on the first playthrough. They will ruin the fun of exploring the game.
