Fun and clever B-horror game
This one is a strange beast. It is a point and click adventure with religious and Catholic undertones, like "Gray Dawn" meeting "Fran Bow". Its puzzles range between easy and medium-difficulty, there's some small (and really small) pixel hunting, and discussions and scenes about God and the devil that range between the hilariously clever and the embarrassingly fun. Both landscapes and atmosphere are top notch. You really see that they loved creating this world. As is usually the case, though, characters' movement, both facial and bodily, leaves to be desired. The game itself still needs some work too: random blackouts occur, the devs made some strange gameplay decisions (the Prologue may be the worst offender) and the voice acting is not always as good as it should. Sometimes you feel, as a player, that there's more lore than actual gameplay. Despite all these little flaws (that can be solved in future updates) "Saint Kotar" is a fun point-and-click adventure that doesn't scare you as much as lure you into a creepy story about godly faith and Satan worship. I think that some characters, some witty dialogues, the dreary atmosphere and the sets are worth the entry fee. Travelers willing to visit the little town of Saint Kotar will find much to like in this funny and peculiar B-horror tale.
