The Blind Prophet

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.

Sometimes a game has such great art you can forgive it's many other flaws. If the art style in The Blind Prophet appeals to you then good news: There's many unique pieces and they're all really nice. The screenshots do not lie. The whole game is a beautiful, dark urban fantasy. There's no animation but the comic book style panels used for scripted events is well done and brings a lot of energy to the presentation.
The writing is another matter. It's weak. Some of this may be due to the English translation but even if it were cleaned up the story is nothing special. The outline is inoffensive but the character writing and plot beats are weak. The pacing isn't great. The art carries the world building and it's a good thing it's so well done because the prose does nothing for immersion. This hurts the interactivity tremendously. Examining objects is usually a waste of time because the prose just has nothing interesting to say. The writing isn't witty, funny, or insightful but it does try. It just doesn't succeed. It gets the job done to move the story from point A to point B but that's it.
The puzzles are fine. They're not going to challenge you much. At the same time, there's no moon logic puzzles. With the exception of one clunky and frustrating mini-game, the experience is pretty smooth.
Is The Blind Prophet worth your time? Depends how cool you think the art is. Are you willing to put up with a mediocre story and easy puzzles to see it?

Gorgeous artwork and style. The game oozes atmosphere - point and click mix of The Witcher and Constantine in neo noir, neon drenched setting.

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.

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
