Whispers of Prague: The Executioner's Last Cut

I quite liked it. The art style and soundtrack were top notch. Puzzles were neither too easy nor too difficult. All in all, a solid mystery investigation thriller that sadly seems to not have gotten the attention it truly deserves. Regardless I highly recommend it.

pros ✅ An intriguing and interesting story about a programmer and treasure hunter who embark on a long journey to uncover the secrets of the infamous Executioner and discover mysteries from your family's past while fighting fanatical cultists in Prague . Your task will be complicated by a sect of fanatic cultists and your own unexplained heritage. story-wise, it is reminiscent of major classics like Broken Sword or Gabriel Knight. ✅ likeable protagonist and a nice variety of interesting, mysterious, and quirky side characters ✅ fun to solve, clever, and challenging many puzzles. the puzzles were neither too easy nor too difficult, and there was no illogical reasoning involved in their solutions ✅ you can receive hints and assistance from an in-game AI when you are stuck ✅ when pressing space you get to see every interactable on the screen ✅ beautiful background graphics and well drawn character models ✅ there is auto and manual save ✅ there are steam achievements ✅ soundtrack were top notch ✅ decent lenght cons ❌ lack of voiceovers and animations makes the characters quite lifeless ❌ I understand that developers randomize maze puzzle solutions for every player to increase the c…

I wish there was a mixed option, so sadly I'd have to choose not recommended. It's not a bad game but I'm highly mixed on it. I was going to refund the game, but I was over the 2 hour mark, and that's the only reason why I went ahead and finished it. A lot of the puzzles were wonky and you'd have to call your AI to help you through a lot of the stuff including puzzles. This game definitely makes you use your brain but at some tasks I got stuck and I needed to use the walkthrough, which most of what I got stuck on was simple things like having to call my AI or random people continuously. Sometimes when you'd ask your AI, send stuff to your AI to have it look up stuff, you have to switch screens just wit for a response, same with getting calls and messages from other characters. This game was obviously translated and the translation is really wonky and a lot of stuff doesn't make sense in a way, but you can understand what they're saying, The art was pretty good, it's more comic book style, the music was actually really good too. I love point and click adventures but I couldn't recommend this.

high quality p'n c adventure, which story-wise is reminiscent of major classics like broken sword or gabriel knight. visuals, sound effects, music, dialogues, puzzles, technical aspects, settings, nothing was below par. very good start from the czech studio shader mess. i hope more is to come.

Za mna dobre. :-D Priznam sa, ze som si dlho neuzil dobru pont and click adventuru (neratam Poldu). Dej je logicky a dobre nadvezuje na seb, ale su tam obcas zadrheli, ze som sa musel pozret pozret do navodu. Lokacie su pekne nakreslene a hudba je prijemna a nerusi. Tak isto zvukove efekty. A ano, nemam vsetky achievementy, ale necce sa mi to hrat koli nim druhy krat :-D . Mozno za nejaky cas.

pros: the art is fine some humor and pop culture references are OK cons: the story lacks coherence, and the plot progression is janky did not like the "get help from the AI or call a friend to proceed" technique, because it's not always clear when they have something for you the devs got way overzealous with achievements
