To take back his already stolen throne, VValak has his eyes set on Earth, and not in a good way (obviously). Here's our full review.

Looks neat. There is a demo on Steam, I will give it a try.

Edit: Took me about 30 minutes. It was okay. I can't really get used to the main character's forced accent, also the gameplay is very bare, even for a Point & Click. The art style does its job, but larger characters look a bit flat. You can only move with WASD, as far as I can tell. If I am playing a Point & Click I don't want to have use the keyboard.

There is a line about the main character not touching objects in the world, "because poor people may have touched them". That may be the weakest excuse not to animate interactions with the world I have ever seen.

Oh, and it is pretty raunchy and gory, if that's a plus in your dirty little book.

Overall, if I ever get back into my old Point & Click habit, it won't be with this.
