I'm not a fan of text based games, i got this as part of Shadows on the Vatican package and i decided to give it a go prior to playing anything else from the series. As i was thinking that this is too much for me the first achievement popped then the second and not long after i was sucked in by the plot and continued playing through completion. All in all it was intriguing, the writing was brilliant and not tiresome and at moments intense! It was a nice experience that i did not expect, i totally recommend it!

“Nightingale” is a text-based adventure (or rather a choose-your-story interactive novella) and part of the “Shadows on the Vatican” series. Though rolling text “blogposts”, you follow the story (and get to decide its next course at several points) of the mysterious Nightingale with her special ability, and her fateful encounter with an assassin that was bound to happen. The story itself, narrated from the protagonist’s perspective, contains a lot of suspense and is sure draw you in as you read through it, with melodious music underscoring the most dramatic moments. Developer recommends playing this game after the second episode – Act II: Wrath – of the series as it acts as a sort of intermezzo before the third game is out, but it can be still played independently. At any rate you shouldn’t leave this one out if you already have the other Shadows on the Vatican games in your library, and even if you don’t have them yet you can give this one a try too – it may pique your interest to get into the whole series.

Very pleasant to play and a great addition to the main story (didn't expect the twist about Silvia). Hope to hear about Elisa again!

Pretty good piece of interactive fiction presenting an intriguing new character in the universe of SotV and getting us to know a little more about another character you already know if you played the previous two episodes. The system is really functional, with lots of quality of life tools so you can freely explore this story. The writing is SO good and detailed, it has excellent timing and at some scenes you can really feel the struggle of our character. I really liked and left me totally excited for chapter 3!

A very short text-only game in the series. I've only played through once so far, there is a 'rewind' feature, so you can go back to previous choices later on. Probably only worth getting in the Shadows bundle.

Dull, uninspiring and essentially pointless. The first two Shadow of the Vatican games were adequate point and clicks. This is a meandering interactive text that over focuses on the most cliched character in the games. I played through once 'not finding the truth' but couldn't care less what the 'truth' is supposed to be. Pity, I will probably still pick up part 3 as and when it emerges, but this has effectively done the opposite of whetting my appetite.
