Highly Recommended - Story/Adventure

I recently discovered Wadjet Eye adventures. After playing "Gemini Rue" and "Technobabylo" I just finished "Unavowed". It's my favorit so far - actually it is a good story told in the form of an adventure game. The UI is very simple, walk / interact & look. There are almost no item combination riddles. Actually, I found most riddles to be rather easy and the game is more or less linear within the scenes. I didn't experience that as a disadvantage though as the riddles act for me more as a hook to be involved in the story. I enjoyed the dialogues in general and the voice acting particularly. While you cannot die in this game, you have to make some moral choices that will somewhat impact the ending. The story has a nice noire/gothic touch to it, a bit Lovecraft/Poe meets modern NYC and horrormovie-pop. If you like adventures, or if you like stories that are interactive, have a look at the game and try it. It's one of the most enjoyable games I played in recent years.

The setting drew me in

Interesting premise and story, interesting characters and sensible puzzles. I can't really fault the game besides being in a category that I, in a very subjective way, don't really care for that much. And the voice acting is sketchy at times, but that's a very minor nitpick. Not a very long game and has a few twists and turns, all in all quite good. If you love point and click, you'll be happy as a pig in mud.

Amazingly crafted and well executed.

I bought this on a whim at 5€ to play on my Steamdeck. Lately I have trouble focusing on longer or mor complex TV series or games but this got me. The game comes with a choice of multiple main protagonists. Cop. Actor. Bartender. And those backgrounds matter. You have different starting sequences and sequences in the later game depending on choice. That includes interactions with NPCs. I have rushed a second playthrough right after the first one and it is significantly different. You can bring two of four other characters with different skillsets. Each character offering a different solution approach to a puzzle. Which is also an incentive to do multiple playthroughs. The game is organized into episodes of decent length. You will want to interact with everything because there is a lot to discover. There is online solutions for the 3 annoying puzzles. You will get hints from your companions if you ask them and two come from me. US Americans have a daft date format. Keycode is MMDD. And legs means Sphinx riddle. The writing is good. You could turn this into an enjoyable Netflix series ca 2014. Grimdarkness is close to Penny Dreadful. You can make choices. The choices will have an impact on the last sequence. Like, meeting vengeful ghosts of the slain. And who will be available to help you overcome the final obstacles. There also is an ending narrative like in the first and only Fallout games. Voice acting is superb. They even got Logan Cunningham of Supergiant Games fame. The graphics are fantastic. You always know what you are looking at. Even on a Steamdeck screen. And descriptions are available on mouseover. Installation via Heroic was trivial. The game is easily worth 15 Euro. It currently is on offer for 5 Euro.

Pretty good adventure Game

Pretty good game, story is pretty good, the art is very well done imo every location is very well detailed making walking through the same areas nicer, I clocked in around 11 hrs and I never felt like the solution to the puzzles where no something you can logically work out. I like most of the characters although there was some cringey lines sometimes I think overall they're ok. I'd say get this if you're a fan of fun adventure games or like the magic/fantasy aspect of it.

Supernatural

I decided to play it after finishing amazing Old Skies and I do not regret it! Unavowed is focused on strong writing and not on absurd puzzles which makes it a joy to experience.
