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!

Stylish, bold and gripping. The writing is very sharp and I'm eager to see where the story goes next.

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.

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.

Definitely the best point-and-click game I've ever played. The story is fantastic as the villain and hero are complex while most of the story is a dark mature high-stakes detective chase. The setting is great and the art is good and well stylized with the game, like an indie comic book or a graphic novel. You can tell this game is great because everything is fast. It wastes none of your time unlike so many games, although the few minigames are silly. The game length is also surprisingly fulfilling and at the end I felt complete, satiated, and not wanting more.
There's some humor but like all adventure games it's not really funny. The puzzles are definitely easy, which kept frustration to a minimum. Do be very careful when you get to the news corporation scene as I was almost in a bugged loop there like some other players. I played on Linux and the font seemed a little messed up. There could have been a lot more nudity and debauchery like the beginning of the game, but what's there was appreciated.

Loved the game, the art, the music, ambiance, and the story but had issues where it wouldn't save and start from the correct places. So after multiple attempts at replaying the game, I was still never able to finish it. I did see some hack in some forums to start from various areas within the game. They worked once but I just go frustrated and moved on. I would say I do recommend the game but it's buggy.

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.

A too short story, but an interesting one nonetheless. I would have loved to see a few more chapters added to the story. It a dark story, almost a kind of crime fiction using religion to camp the story in a modern world. I really appreciated the drawing style.
Some puzzles could have benefited from a few hints using Observe, while launching them through Use.
I was playing on Linux in English (my system supports accented characters) and a few errors were spotted, a bug or two (mostly related to fonts, where accented characters were not properly displayed). And I don't know what the Bomb puzzle was using to animated those few shinny colors, but it was hard on the graphic performances. This could all be related to Proton being used
