A Diamond in the Rough
This is the kind of experiment I dig! It's an RPG where you actually have to ROLEPLAY instead of just bash things. You are an inspector so you gain experience from detective things: eavesdropping, sneaking, spotting, doing quests to butter up the locals so you can interrogate them. There is a skill based system you can improve, but a lot of puzzles are closer to a traditional adventure: picking up the trail of logic, talking to the right people. Essentially your skills are short cut, but a welcome one in situations where there are guards patrolling. This is not the world's most 'triple A' game. Graphics are rudimentary (but charming), the game begins in German and needs to be set to English and although it is voice acted (and not badly) the dialogue seldom fits the subtitles, and some things remain untranslated. You also need to make some educated guesses as to how to use items and where. For a brief summary, consider a much more forgiving Pathologic meets Disco Elysium with a dash of Monkey Island, but all in a unique historical setting. I like a game that tries to keep it's feet on a ground and bit and mines a culture for the atmosphere and experience of really getting inside the head and life of someone you might never have supposed to before. That's what true Roleplaying is about. There's probably some hiccups given the way it looks. I'm guessing some edges are rough in addition to the shaky translation, but some far it's a hoot!
