Child of Lothian
The streets of 18th century Edinburgh disappear beneath the shadows of witch hunters looming in the streets. Hushed whispers appear in every corner and suspicious gazes of townspeople fall upon their neighbors, as friends become enemies. Among the townsfolk of Edinburgh, there is a young orphan called Katheryn. A helpful man, who she now regards as her new mentor, is teaching her crucial survival skills to evade the evil witch hunters and survive the streets of Edinburgh.

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.

A very nice game, with a short and interesting story, in which i learned that patience matters.

This is a short free Lada version of A Plague Tale. So if you liked those games, you'll probably like this one as well.
Be aware though that its got rough edges and bugs, so the quality is nowhere near A Plague Tale.
But for what it is, its ok for a playthrough.
Total Score: 6/10
