Child of Lothian

It's okay but this university has better projects released yet it's a free product so I won't complain. It's definitely not bad but also not great either. I recommend it for an hour or maybe two/three to get achievements done sort of entertainment. Edit: Achievements are buggy too. Finished 2 times in a row with 8 pebbles in my pocket and didn't get the achievement.

Very simple game, fun if you're just looking for something to occupy your time without too much effort. There are some bugs, the witch hunter seems to have trouble moving pretty often, and some of the achievements don't unlock the first time around. It's also a good game to introduce younger player to stealth games! My sister is too young for some of my other games, they're too complicated and intense for her, but she always wants to try them. There's a bit of swearing, mentions of alcohol, and the witch hangings ofc, so be aware of all that if you want to go that route, but very little violence, and no blood or very scary moments.

Left alone in a hostile environment, she must navigate city streets, avoid capture, and uncover ways to endure while dangerous forces continue searching for her. The narrative immediately establishes emotional stakes, creating a …

Cool little student project. Great setting and ideas - be cool to see this fleshed out one day. Achievements are bugged so be aware if you are jumping in for that. 5/10 for effort and ideas.

For a free game, it's pretty ok. The story is interesting. The graphism are not that great but that's fine.

Fun little game to pass the time
