Report: February 2019

This was amazing. It has everything - interesting story, great characters, deep atmosphere, beautiful visuals and soundtrack!
The game is based upon equally named book by Ken Follet. I have to humbly admit that I have not read it - yet! But years back I have given the book to my mom as a Christmas gift and if I remember correctly, she enjoyed it. ;) So I have borrowed it from her and now it sits in my living room, and as it has almost 1000 pages it will take me some time to finish it!
So back to the game. It's a point and click adventure heavily concentrated on storytelling. You can pick up items and use them, there is also one kind of little mini-game, but the main point of this adventure are choices. You follow four (respectively three) main characters through the story full of regret, betrayal, faith, hope and of course love. As them you have to live, survive and make hard decisions which will shape not just your fate, but even of those around you. All is happening in the shadow of one particular cathedral.

The game is divided to three Books which are then set to 7 chapters each. At chapter's end you are "rewarded" with screen summarizing the most important events and your decisions. Even though the end of the game is practically set and there are things that you can't change no matter what, you have some space for different approach. In some cases you can even die. The good thing is that the decision leading to such end is imminent; I believe it's good because you don't have to overplay ten hours to change it!
I have found the characters very believable and well written, I have come to like them almost immediately! Largely due to the great voice acting; the actors perfectly corresponded with their characters! One of the best video game dubbing for me.
There are some minor bugs - not sure if it's the right word, few times happened that someone talks and his mouth is shut or someone is quiet and his mouth is moving. But it didn't bothered me much. ;)

Pillars have stolen my heart as tsupertsundere mentioned. ;) The story captured me and my emotions changed rapidly as it proceeded, I will be strong and admit that even some tears were shed. :P

Nice short adventure about simple life of a simple janitor named Joe. The graphic design is very good and fitting. Also as someone who loves Twelve Monkeys I can't say anything bad on it.
Well... two times I got stuck and all that Joe suggested was that he doesn't know how that thing should help him... well me neither Joe, me neither. XD After rage clicking and using everything on anything I found my way. :P

This was rather nice HoG. It had some funny moments and was very quick too. I found the mini-games reasonable and easily doable.

Some of the items were really very well hidden, almost blended with the environment. For that situation was good the sonar thing which showed you shape of the item, I have not used it to pinpoint the exact location of the item. Some of the items were hard to pick up as they needed certain location to click, so there were many misclicks. The graphic and story is little bit weaker, but I have enjoyed it nevertheless. I liked my museum. :)

Funny casual game. Mighty Hercules was really hilarious! :D Good for killing time.
