Shadows on the Vatican - Act II: Wrath

We need part 3!

I can totally recommend the game! I have goosebumbs and can´t wait for the third part and I am so thrilled that there will also be a fourth!!!!! Pls support and play the story of James and Silvia so we can see more of them :3 Perfect game for lovers of classic point and click games!

Despite suffering from many of the same flaws as Act I, Act II is a step in the right direction and does a number of things better than the first game. The animations are as clunky as before, and some of the puzzles are completely lacking in terms of any logic, but I felt that overall, the game felt better paced and with more of an actual structure - also thanks to the better storytelling. Wrath also fleshes out the character of Silvia, and the bits with her were definitely enjoyable. It was nice to also have some real-time puzzling in the very beginning, which also contributed to the overall atmosphere. Beyond the usual object combinations, there were also some nice puzzles here and there: such as the phone call analysis and map plotting, as well as the final puzzle with the roman numerals. Not great, but definitely much better than the majority of puzzles in Act I.

Act III is currently in development at time of this review.

Shadows on the Vatican – Act II: Wrath is a narrative-focused point-and-click adventure developed by Daring Touch in collaboration with 10th Art Studio, and published by Adventure Productions alongside Daring Touch. As the second chapter in an episodic series, it builds directly on the foundations laid by the first act, continuing a story rooted in political intrigue, religious conspiracy, and personal reckoning. Inspired by real-world controversies surrounding the Vatican and the themes explored in investigative literature, the game adopts a serious, mature tone that clearly targets fans of traditional adventure games who value story and atmosphere over fast-paced action. The narrative in Act II deepens the stakes considerably, shifting focus toward the consequences of past decisions and the tightening grip of hidden powers operating behind the scenes. Players once again step into the shoes of James Murphy, a former priest now living as a doctor, whose attempts at a quiet life are shattered by his entanglement with forces far larger than himself. Alongside him is Silvia, a highly trained assassin whose loyalty to her former employers has placed her in mortal danger. Their uneasy …

Another poor point and click.
