[h2]The Night Fisherman[/h2] I don’t know why people are hating this game, it says on the features that it’s a “ A reinterpretation (from the film Inglorious Basterds).” It’s also free so it’s your choice to play or not to play the game. It’s also based on actual facts UK pays France £662 million to stop illegal immigration. If this game made you uncomfortable well I guess you know who you are in the story.1 found this helpful
beautiful, but sad
cliché
Quit interesting story 😊. I like the unfamiliar set of colors used to present the environment around. The dialogue is really good as adding to that Churchill character of being scary one with his confidence while talking to the fisherman. My review is included in the video. https://youtu.be/H2yddrsFxVM
dudes paid 100 usd to put THIS on steam bruh
cute and short visual novel. have never watched the movie so i was wondering about the comments. can say that despite 0 knowledge of it that the story was still compelling as told through this medium. loved the scene switching and the art style.
