The Blind Prophet

The Blind Prophet is beautifully atmospheric but sadly very flawed. This French indie game is very short and basic, even for the point & click genre. Just look at the one sentence description on Steam that explains nothing.. Firstly, I will praise the amazing comic book art style and great sound design. It is genius to promote your mediocre comic through a game as the comic book market is oversaturated and even somewhat decent works are easily buried under tons of Marvel and DC schlock. While the game sadly lacks any voice acting, the ambient music adds greatly to the comic book vibe. The puzzles were decent but very few and pretty easy. The timed events did force the player to act quickly but having to read makes it impossible to pass these events on the first try, so you have to die a few times to figure out the solution. I get what they were going for, but putting Action into text-based point & click games never made any sense or success. The story was interesting and some char...

you walk as the blind apostle, cursed with sight that pierces veils men dare not lift, dragged through alleys of rot and temples of despair. 10/10

A nice little point and click game. I admit I needed a walkthrough for some parts, but it's not too onerous. I got lucky and didn't hit any bugs. Got it for 3 dollars on sale - I'd say it's worth it.

Love this game. Please make a sequel .
