Given that you basically get it for free as the developers scrounge for money for their next scam I'd say it is worth the time, and maybe even worth the money. The RPG systems, despite being a confusing mesh of overlapping systems, work well. Overall the game is janky, buggy, lost potential and a bit cartoony, but there is still some fun to be had with it. Gaining negative feats as your fear rises is clunky as fuck, but overall it somehow works aswell. And the game taunted me with other options aswell, I wish I had survival and lockpicking as an example. Your two backup characters usually know one non combat skill, so I had science and medicine from them.ДЄll of those were checked frequently, and felt meaningfull to have and balanced against each other. I took Occultism, Investigation and Rhetoric. You only get enough points to really spec into two skills, maybe three. The progression and specialisation is a high point of the game. Especially as the game is a bitch about allowing you to regain your ressources through resting. Getting better knives, spells and pistols (the weapon types I specialised in) felt meaningfull, as they made the enemies fall faster and with less expendure of resolve and health. But every enemy being a melee bruiser with mediocre ranged options as backup was enough for the progression system to feel meaningfull. Mix and matching the enemy types with more distinctive design would have gone a long way to make combat more satisfying. The biggest problem was the enemy design, usually it was just 3-5 enemies of the same type, and every enemy type was restricted to a location.

There was an entire spell upgrade system in the game before, of which I only learned after googling if I can savely sell Black Ectoplasm. I played an Occultist, which is one of the classes hurt by the budget cuts the most. The pure entertainment factor without that feeling was adequate, 15 hours of generally high, but sometimes very marred by bugs and strange design decisions, enjoyment. The finale however starts after two phrases in the riddle solved, which makes you feel like you just got ripped off of half the game you purchased. The setup is clearly solve the mysterious riddle with four phrases, then you enter the finale. It really hurts the game that it still postures as a much longer game. Took me 16 hours, but I restarted once upon seeing that the aristrocat has a mandatory companion you can not dismiss, whom I did not like. If you come in winter, there will be maple syrup on the snow and if your availability is on a sunny day of summer, there shall be a pig 'mГ©choui'.I finished it today, I wanted to wrap this up before the steam sale today. Come visit the great city of QuГ©bec for a party you will never forget.ДЄ personal invitation to you, brave warrior, for an epic all nighters feast with the team at the legendary medieval restaurant 'La Chope Gobeline' where we shall party and sing until the last man standing.
