Screenshots seem super cumbersome; it sounds like a "pause" is more necessary. I believe (although Unavowed is in a different version of AGS than Primordia) that if you play in a window, rather than full screen, when the window looses focus the game will pause. So you could just do a 2xnearest neighbor filter in a window, which will be a good size, then click to the desktop to pause as needed. It shouldn't obscure the game window, so the text will still be up, but it should pause the action.
It works perfectly under Wine - you can can all relax.

The positive RPS review should have served as a warning sign to me.
I was expecting something more like Maniac Mansion or even DOTT, but like Kem0sabe mentioned above, it feels like you are just shuttled from scene to scene reading dialog and banter and then solving a simple puzzle before you are off to the next scene. I have played some other Wadjet Eye games, and I guess I should have expected that this would be narrative/dialog focused, but I thought the "RPG" aspects would translate into a game with a bit more exploration (even if the game was linear).
It's got amazing artwork and being able to select your origin story and whatnot is cool, but just not my kind of adventure game sadly.

did you enjoyed blackwell? if you did (the series never had complex,multiple stage puzzle design like monkey island 2 or days of tentacle, but if you like the setting/character/atmosphere/theme of blackwell you should enjoy this at least

I haven't played any of the blackwell games, only Technobabylon for any length of time (Gemini Rue for a bit also). I didn't love Technobabylon, but enjoyed the setting. The setting in Unavowed didn't interest me so much, but I thought the C&C stuff and selectable characters would get me interested.

well i think (and blackwell) are both worth a try. maybe start with the first blackwell, it;s dirt cheap and only 2 hours long. the second is around 3 to 4 hours the last one is 8 hours - ish.

I think I'm about 40% into the game now, and I'm enjoying it quite a lot. If anyone was hoping for some true "Adventure RPG," that is yet to happen. But the game takes some cues from the genre to make things a bit more interesting and can give it some replay value. I think the puzzles might have gotten a bit easier, but since I have become more familiar with adventure games compared to before, I'm not the best judge.
Kinda wish the party banter would continue if you decide to examine objects and/or transition to a new area though.

Blackwell Series was definetly harder than this (and still pretty easy). Iam not so sure about the replayability, I tried and started a new game, female police detective this time, but then it hit me, I have to do it all over again and its pretty much the "same" apart from the choices at the end of missions and maybe some chatter, so I put it to the backlog. Maybe if more people replayed it they share some opinions if its really worth it to do it all over again (as opposed to watching the other ending on youtube).

I was so sure LEGS stands for 5937 and the note tells you how to rearrange these digits... 
which origin story did everyone choose first? i am leaning towards police officer but i am struggling to choose what my first experience should be since i have waited so long for this
Bartender for me
Finished Unavowed yesterday, I was really like it. The modern fantasy setting was surprisingly dark and the story was deeper then I originally thought. I definitely didn't see the twist coming, they even managed to incorporate the twist into the game's mechanics with is more then most games do. The companion mechanic is also really interesting since it makes the game feel more open the most adventures. I especially like the soundtrack which has over 50 tracks from atmospheric jazz to mysterious electric soundscapes. Sadly the voice acting is a mixed bag, some of it is good some characters just sound cheap The choices could have been done better they too obvious for my taste, the ending "level" did it better where the game does not tell you that you are making choice.
I can recommend the Unavowed to anyone who likes supernatural stories and those who want to see what can be done with the old point and click genre if you are willing to innovate.

I played female, but if you play male in eddins house
lol if so.
Considering the twist and all
ive nothing against homosexuals, but its kinda fun to think to.
do you really have a buttsex with art?
Considering the twist and all
if it was the demon, it would make sense he would do it, but as a human male he'd try other way to do it, but i guess psychopath cannot give a fuck about who they are fucking.

Also i just finished it. Wish it was longer, but it is still ironically WEG biggest game.
I LOVE the characters, all the unavowed members and some of the antagonist. The storyline, plot twist, etc are all well executed, well written, well paced.
Voice acting is good for the most part. Few are better than the other. The audio quality is a bit . . Eh.
Maybe because i didnt have headphones when i played blackwell and other WEG, but playing it headphones, the recording quality really is noticeable. It is a minor complaint, because they are well acted and considering the budget they have to work with.
Puzzles are a bit weak, then again blackwell didnt have too much complex puzzles too, although admittedly blackwell have more on the puzzles side despite being shorter.
In the end, like everything dave gilbert made, i love it and i hope DaveGilbert can make unavowed a series. Make unavowed: dragonfall in berlin, or the old crew trying to
