A slow, beautifully illustrated medieval narrative adventure with superb writing and historical detail. Skip it if you want a solvable detective game, real gameplay or choices that truly change the story.
Great for
History, art and Disco Elysium-style story lovers who enjoy slow, dialogue-heavy narrative games
Main risk
Expecting a solvable murder mystery or impactful choices, and finding a slow, linear visual novel

“The lack of hints on when the time will pass, or will not pass, or explaining to you the rules beforehand is a killer.”
