WHY I WANT IT

    I'm a nerd. I like certain types of history. This is one of them. Plus, I really love stylized art (many previous entries are about games with unique artwork!). I also adore narrative-driven games as they remind me of older generations of games that were text-heavy to deliver a good story before graphics became high-tech. On top of that, the game lets you make decisions that are impactful to the story -- and that's always well-delivered by Obsidian (been a huge fan ever since Pillars of Eternity).

    There's some notably mature themes in this game, so please take note of the developer's note about its graphic nature if you're considering this game. However, history was not G-rated and it's something we should always be aware of lest we forget!

If you agree, you can wishlist it on Steam here!

If that isn't enough to pique your interest, then this probably isn't your genre -- and that's okay! Check back next week for another title and let me know what you think of my selection!
