The blind prophet4/19/2023 ![]() Ars Goetia implemented a nice little feature that is Bartholomeus’ demon sight, which allows him to see important and often demonic things. I didn’t mind it that much, as movement was done by clicking on exits and that was easy enough. You can’t really walk around in the scenes, though, making the game look a bit static. It’s really smooth, keeping the focus on the story by making the gameplay as easy as possible. You can also do this with inventory items and combine them. By clicking on a hot spot, you can either Observe, Take, Use or Discuss. The controls are very straightforward and traditional. Combined with a cool, thumping techno soundtrack, this adds a lot to the atmosphere. They are short and effective, getting you back into the game as soon as possible. They flow effortlessly into the cutscenes, that are like a motion comic book. The art style is very European every scene is handpainted and looks really beautiful. Bartholomeus looks a lot like Geralt of Rivia with his white hair and grumpy demeanor, and even carries a huge sword that he is not afraid to use. The Blind Prophet is a traditional point and click adventure game that I can best describe as Witcher meets Supernatural in comic book form. The shit hits the fan from the moment you land on Rotbork’s harbour, and have to save a young lady from being assaulted by a huge guy with glowing eyes. Now demons are preying on its citizens, and Bartholomeus has to clean the city up by taking out the big demon bosses. ![]() This (fictional) city was once a very successful fishing community, but has fallen on hard times due to a spiraling series of events. This time you’re sent to the corrupted town of Rotbork. This has been your on-and-off job for 2000 years, and you have been very successful at it. When things spiral out of control with demonic influences, God sends you down to earth to set things straight and kill the demons. Developer Ars Goetia decided to change that, and they came out with The Blind Prophet (published by Ars Goetia, Plug In Digital and Maple Whispering Limited ), in which you play a very specific hunter of demons.Īs you probably have guessed, you play the titular blind prophet, an apostle named Bartholomeus. Granted, Monkey Island ’s LeChuck is all kinds of evil, and recently Unavowed and Mage’s Initiation dabbled with demons, but it’s not as common as you would think. Who didn’t like a nice game of Doom, or went mental on those pesky demons in Diablo or Silent Hill ? But the point and click adventure game genre is surprisingly light on this subject. Demon hunting is usually a profession left for the first-person shooters or hack-and-slashers.
