The Council

I have no patience at all for games that test my patience. I wanted to get immersed into this amazing story adventure detective mystery occult role playing game, but I am disappointed to say that the game constantly tested my patience and shattered its own immersion at every turn until I just turned it off and had to uninstall it and walk away. 1. I want to get immersed in the story. What do I mean by that? Well, I wanted to forget I was playing a game for just a little while and role play as the main character. This was made impossible because of all these "points" and "levels" and "skills" and "traits" and bla bla bla bla BLAAAAAAAA..... You're telling me I have to worry if I'm going to have enough pieces of honey, ENOUGH SWEETS.... to be able to say more words to a certain person? Do I have blood sugar issues? I mean, just be honest and tell me so, it's not a problem... really. If I don't, then why should I be forced to waste my time worrying about how many effort points I have lest I should accidentally not be able to sum up the will power to ask someone a very important question that will have severe consequences later on? My friend, kindly, just SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY! FORGET THE CONFECTIONERY TREATS! The game shouldn't have wasted my time with this, just let me do whatever I want without limiting me. I'll just go do this thing, Oh wait, I can't for no raisins... (sweet pun intended) Wow, HOW exciting!!!! I can't do thing. much exhilaration, such depth, very shock! Trophy for me! *clap* 2. The settings. I can't believe how few settings there are, and if I dare desire change the video settings, I have to go to main menu, change them, and then load back in! The game is so dark, raise the brightness and everything looks so foggy that I feel ill. 3. Save games are at the worst possible points. Good luck going back to before you made a mistake and having to repeat TOO many things. 4. The characters are extremely goofy and cringey. I can't take them seriously.

This game looked really interesting story-wise, and it *was* intriguing...for as long as I could stand the terrible voice-acting, which wasn't long at all. To be fair, it seemed that every character except for the two main protagonists had decent voices. I couldn't tolerate the Guybrush-Threepwoodness from Louis Mauras De Richet; it was just too absurd. I immediately looked for a French language toggle so I could turn that on and rely on subtitles but NOPE, I was out of luck. I'm sad that I won't be able to enjoy this unique-looking game. Someone please tell me there's a way I can get the original French with subs in this, lol.

Very good, intresting plot! Quite good game mechanincs! Buy it, enjoy it. It is worth it!

meh... Unskipable dialogues and cut scenes are an huge problem. it's very frustrating, and it killed the game for me. Dear devs : I KNOW HOW TO READ , so please don't waste my time with unskipable dialogues.

I like the game as a concept. Tried the first chapter free on Steam. Liked it! Bought it here (on discount - I was not ready to buy on full price due to bad reviews for the last chapters) then found out the game can't save. Tried all I can but failed to solve this problem. Now waiting for refund! Too bad! The game works well on Steam but can't do that here...
