The Pilgrim

another disappointing student project, style over everything. resolutions and windowed mode on startup via the unity launcher, in-game the only setting is a windowed mode toggle. nothing for audio in a game with all sorts of audio. well done for not having any idea how a game should work, and this is just the beginning. no mid-level saving, of course, but areas are relatively small and level select is a thing, as one of the very few positives. still, saving anytime should be possible. it looks good but performance is anything but, the perfect combination of missing both optimization and any kind of gfx settings, including a brightness slider. [b]the fixed camera angles are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful too[/b], especially combined with only point & click movement, no wasd/arrows, and the terrain is all over the place, even harder to navigate. it's very slow (can't double-click to move faster), the camera's too close to the character (can't zoom out) and unnecessarily disorienting. half the time you're walking towards the camera without knowing where exactly you're going, and it's possible to end up off-screen for added frustration. gameplay itself is primitive and tedious: pick up glowing symbol…

W art, no story. Worth for short entertainment imo.

Amazing. Fully recommend this short, free, bite-sized masterpiece.

Игра "The Pilgrim" – это визуальная новелла, очаровывающая своей мрачной, но при этом притягательной атмосферой. Художественный стиль, выполненный в виде движущихся картин, создаёт уникальное ощущение причастности к средневековой легенде. Сюжет, рассказывающий о паломнике, ищущем таинственное сокровище, постепенно раскрывается, предлагая игроку сложные моральные выборы. Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту, "The Pilgrim" заставляет задуматься о ценности жизни, веры и жертвы. Каждый персонаж, встреченный на пути, оставляет свой след в душе, а последствия решений ощущаются на протяжении всего путешествия. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет атмосферу, усиливая эффект погружения. Единственный недостаток – некоторая линейность сюжета, хотя и с несколькими возможными концовками. Тем не менее, это не уменьшает удовольствие от прохождения этой короткой, но запоминающейся игры. "The Pilgrim" – это атмосферное приключение, которое рекомендуется всем любителям нарративных игр с философским подтекстом.

Well that was a fun little game. Its like a hidden object game, but with puzzle mechanics.

I couldn't help but be drawn to the description of this game's Steam page, which is a first for my reviews and not necessarily an indictment, but I was at least hoping for the word "triangle" or some allusion to triangles since this game has so many triangles. There was a very dramatic intro scene where the triangle lost all their shape friends, and overall the game is a lot more dramatic than I can seem to understand, as well as my Pilgrim, who blankly jaunts along as my mindless thrall in this abstract anglo-verse. Once I return the shape disciples to triang-god, the Pilgrim is begone from this camera, his role fulfilled. The game has a smooth arc of Mind game fun by paring down the spotter techniques of the point-and-click genre into a polyomino set, which ends up putting the Land on the altar by design. Every shape and camera structure follows in service to the Pilgrim and not me; the game of the spotter rather than the mind of the explorer. While it is a reimagining of "hidden object" games as you say, I'd say that point-and-click adventures beat you to the punch, where the "hidden object" is a hidden context of objects across different screens. Gorogoa inverts the concept …
