Oh shit, I was just joking about it, but it seems to be true, nobody actually cares.

Maybe Matt Barton will interview Josh Sawyer? Give it a Matt Chat boost.

7hours in, game's good so far.

Amazing art and sound design, and some occasional witty dialogue. Not usually into story-narrative games but enjoying what Ive seen thus far

You fucking haters make me sick, go play Pentiment and Pillars of the Earth as your penance


Well, this game art style looks good and the trailer music is good too.
I see it's adapted from a book.

Also, the trailer says it's not an RPG, which is a step up from Josh's claim that his new game is an RPG.

Are the books worth reading?

The miniseries is 5/5 IMHO. 8 episodes or somesuch. Trailer doesn't do it justice, because the producers made it seem 'epic' but the series is anything but. Realistic sorta.

Sawyer was well regarded at the these forums, so nobody is going to review the niche game he has released anymore?

Infinitron will do it. Clearly he is extremely interested in this game. No doubt he has played it.
Like his fellow ethnics he always instigates but never takes part.
Infinitron will you do your part to dispel this harmful stereotype and defend the honor of your fellow people by writing the Pentiment review? Before anyone accuses you of anything nasty again I'll presume you'll be doing the review for Marvel's Midnight Suns as well.

Seconding Pillars of the Earth what's -90% off right now on Steam. Gorgeous art and excellent writing (all characters think and behave in ways plausible for 12th century England: no 21st century feminist or atheist speeches, blasphemy is taken very seriously, careful deference must be shown to societal superiors etc). Point-and-click but what you say and do (or fail to do) seems to change things. A lot of game for the price of a coffee.

Definitely a storyfag game but a well-done one.
