This is a great game, with a very imaginative, and gripping plot. I bought it ages ago, back when it was only available to play exclusively online, which was always very slow, and limited by the browser; also, the final chapter took forever to come out. But the now finished 6-chapter locally playable game as a whole is a completely revamped experience for an already amazing game. As soon as I saw this on GoG I re-bought the game immediately to add it to my collection. The GoG version plays fast, smoothly and beautifully. For linux users, I'd also just add that the game runs flawlessly on 64-bit Wine 3.19 (I had problems with 4.4 though, so ymmv). It's a shame GoG hasn't bothered to create an official wine-based installer for linux, but, oh well, I'm sure someone will create a PlayOnLinux script soon enough.
Game is not a finished game. There's a season 2, and this is buried in fine print. As for the game itself, I had mixed feelings. I think the pixel art works well. The sounds and music contribute to great atmosphere. The puzzles were a bit random at times but straightforward enough to not need a walkthrough. But the story is little short of a haphazard collection of new age hippy crap. The first chapter is great as an intro and reels you in with its tense atmosphere, but then the rest just seem more of an afterthought, and trying desperately to piece together a story from nowhere, while playing the condescending pseudophilosophical pseudointellectual card along the way, and relying on the odd "jumpscare" tactic for effect instead. The worst bit for me was chapter 2 which is basically an outright christian bashfest. - Tell the nun there's no god. Obviously she'll instantly agree and go kill herself because life has no meaning. - Tell the head-nun a patient is in pain. Obviously she'll just give you a bible and tell you to pray. - Try to distract the nun. Obviously fake a moronic "miracle" and she'll instantly go berserk about it without even checking. - A student decides to read Plato and Aristotle. Obviously the priest will punish him for reading "devil books" with 50 lashes. - Murders at a monastery? Clearly the culprit is the head priest of the monastery, who like all priests, is basically a deranged lunatic murderer with no respect for human life, who obviously likes to pray a lot while doing his killing, and obviously personally employs shady characters to do his dirty-work. Obviously. I mean ... seriously? Gee! I'm surprised they forgot to make the priest a pedophile in the plot ffs! If I didn't know better, I would guess that the developers were a bunch of neoatheist 12-year old brats, constantly patting themselves on the back. I'm all but sure season 2 will reveal the protagonist to be a feminist transexual vegan liberal activist. Don't waste your money.
