A true hidden gem of 2019…

First time seeing this fantastic title at a price this low.

Note that it is also difficult to find now brand new or secondhand.

Excellent narrative driven action/adventure game from an independent studio.

Brilliant voice acting & an engaging story set in medieval Paris.

Beautifully created varied environments.

One of my top games of 2019

A demo is available, but it really doesn’t do justice for what is coming later in the game.
