A story worth playing through bugs

Story is interesting. And it is worth getting through it even though numerous bug will try to spoil the experience. blank screens, broken animations, puzzle spots that difficult to spot and you go rounds trying all out,, But the story and the ending is cool. Lie all parts fit into the puzzle in one go.

Historical point-and-click

Arrested and condemned for crimes against the church (being affiliated with Satan) you find yourself sharing a cell with an equally accused pig (guilty of murdering and eating a monk)

Game wouldn't start

The game simply wouldn't start on my PC. I contacted the company, who began to look into it, but a couple weeks passed, I didn't hear from them again, and they didn't reply anymore.

DOES'T WORK !

The game sadly doesn't work. There are no controls and no cursor. Do not waste your time in buying it and trying to play it, as I did. I even tried to playing it without Galaxy and it still did not work. Tried Windows 7, but that did not work either. I am shocked that Microids did nothing to repair by now, 9 YEARS and so many complaints later. Such a shame, it seems it could be a good game.

Pendulo Studios raises the bar...

6 of 5 must play. 5 of 5 great story great gameplay. 4 of 5 great story average gameplay. 3 of 5 average story average gameplay. 2 of 5 play only if it's your favorite genre. 1 of 5 play if you have nothing better to do. 0 of 5 play if you're a masochist. -1 of 5 avoid. Yesterday Origins score is 3 of 5.
