The Blind Prophet

The art style alone is a reason to get this game, but despite that- a magnificent soundtrack, good writing, and a story with a soul.
Good good stuff.

I genuinely wish there was more of this game. I loved it so much and the ending left me craving for more. Not to say that the ending is unsatisfying, quite the opposite. I've always loved point-n'-click games, but this one is one of my favorites. The art is amazing and hand-drawn, the music is great, and the puzzles are fun. I also love religious symbolism, so this game is right up my alley. 10/10 I loved it. Wish there was more!

pros
✅ a dark, mature, compelling and creepy story about an apostle who came to a crime-ridden city to fight demons whom they could possess humans and make bad deeds.
✅ impressive graphic novel-styled hand-drawn background artwork and cut scenes
✅ dark and grim noir atmosphere
✅ great soundtrack bolsters and fits the general atmosphere
✅ there are two playable characters
✅ main and side supporting characters likeable
✅ nice variety and fun to solve puzzles

cons
❌ iffy english translation. there are also some typos and grammatical errors.
❌ there are some frustrating mini games, poorly clued puzzles and QTE moments in which you can die
❌ there is no voice acting except one words like "thanks" “what?” “damn!” “hmmm,” etc.
❌ there are no steam achievements and cards
❌ there is a map without shortcuts, which causes too much backtracking and confusion about where or which way to go.
❌ The protagonist's and main story's conclusion is not very satisfying and rushed. I was not expecting a cliched happy and butterfly-like ending, but I found the conclusion pretty lame.
Overall, this is a decent comic novel-style point-and-click adventure and puzzle game.

The Blind Prophet is a point-and-click game with a unique, Mike Mignola (Hellboy) like artstyle. You play as Bartholomeus, an apostle sent by God to fight demons corrupting the city of Rotbork. Even if you're not a fan of the genre, I urge you to try it especially because of the artstyle and atmosphere. It makes the world so beautiful and immersive, a neon-lit city that looks both modern and medieval. While it doesn't have full voice acting, the great soundtrack still helps set the tone.
Gameplay is like the usual PnC, talking to people, finding items, combining and using them, etc. There's also some minigames, pretty unique ones I might add. Like there's one where you find hidden letters in an image, and more action-based ones such as a shooting gallery minigame. However, despite the story, there aren't many playable "action" scenes, like for example when you kill a demon it only happens in cutscenes, not even through interaction. There's a combat minigame though, but only 1 and at the end.
Maybe it's because I'm having a great time, but to me sadly this game kinda felt not long enough. I know lore-wise apostles doesn't encounter all demons, but the ones not shown are the ones I really wanna see. There are some story elements that's left unexplored or not fully explained. There's also at least 1 area, a shop, where you have the arrow interaction to enter, but you never enter that place. And it's not because I missed something, the story of this game is linear, no branching storylines.
Overall, The Blind Prophet is a beautiful point-and-click game, probably one of the prettiest I ever played. I also love the dark atmosphere, and the use of fantasy elements in a modern setting. If you're a fan of PnC games or the type of story/atmosphere, you should definitely give it a try. Would be cool if they add options to skip minigames though as some can be confusing. I hope there will be sequels, as I'm in love with this universe!

Got hard locked on the news story computer after selecting the second time and could not exit or load a save, had to alt f4 which on reload took me back to hard lock. Uninstalled and watched a play through, ohh well.

It has been a long time since I played a proper "modern" point-and-click adventure, and this game didn't disappoint. In fact, it's phenomenal. The art is gorgeous, something akin to a mature graphic novel. The story is also interesting and well-told. No Steam Achievements though, and there are a few demons introduced in the lore which are MIA. Perhaps they'll appear in a future sequel?

An absolutely incredible point and click. While the difficulty is a bit on the easy side it's not important because the essence of this game is all in his absolutely masterful storytelling and presentation. This game look fantastic, a moving comic book with incredible panel layout a style that oozes atmosphere into every shot and an asbolutely incredible soundtrack that just takes on you on a ride and never let you go. In the story you play an apostle sent by heaven to dispose of the demons that infested a town and are driving it to complete ruin, while there you slowly discover that the corruption is worse than you thought and there's something much more sinister in the works. It's a story that really delves deep into humanity brought to the worse but that comes with a great message of hope despite all the garbage that life can throw at us. This is a must play for everyone!
