The almost total absence of music in favor of a realistic sound design is an interesting bias.
The graphics in the form of medieval illuminations are beautiful.
A title that takes its time and where any choice of the player will have an impact.
The background of NPCs all extremely researched and well written.

A title that takes its time and where any choice of the player will have an impact.
The background of NPCs all extremely researched and well written.
A little too long for his own good.
Big frustration to have to choose a track among others while knowing that we will not have all the clues in the end.

Interesting choice-based dialogue with many variations
Gorgeous, manuscript-like art style and fonts

Can be a bit too staid and serious at times
Could have fast travel or running speed
Lack of exploration music

The story, full of twists and turns, unexpected developments and difficult decisions.
Artistic design, a delightful overflow of charisma.
Historical dissemination work, well-founded, documented and indexed.

The pace of the game is not consistent, and there are some parts that are really slow.
The plot sometimes seems forced by the way some characters act.
Mini-games are terribly underutilized.

The stylized font is cool but wears out its welcome

GameStar... you like medieval agas in the style of Rebecca Gablé or Ken Follett.
... The development of an entire colony over several years sounds exciting to you.
