About This Game Visiting Rome from Chicago, where he works as a doctor, ex-priest James Murphy answers a mysterious call for help from his friend Cristoforo. The disappearance of a briefcase containing compromising documents is enough to convince James that his friend is a victim of something shady and sinister. The Vatican's involvement and some strange parallels with his own traumatic past inspire James to get to the bottom of this mystery. Along this dangerous and disturbing path, James finds the most unlikely travelling companion who will question his deepest beliefs. And so the two characters begin both a physical journey in search of the truth, and a metaphysical exploration of the inner soul and the darkest secrets that everyone hides, even a "champion of the faith" like James. Rome is the stage for this adventure – a city bathed in eternal twilight, its skies tinted the color of blood spilled in more than thirty years of intrigue: blood of innocents and guilty, unknown and famous victims alike.KEY FEATURESShadows on the Vatican is a thrilling new point-and-click adventure in 4 acts, inspired by real events in recent Italian history and freely adapted from the bestseller of David Yallop "In God's Name".

Recommended for fans of the genre only. Pros:Good backround music.Backdrops and cut scenes are well done. Interesting plot.Cons: I found the voice acting poor. Character animation is poor. Would I buy episode 2? Yes but I would hope for an improvement.. While I have seen the investigative mechanics and puzzels done better, the story still holds up and would make this a worth while buy for people interested in point and click storys.That said: The last update on act 3 (out of 4) came 2015 and ever since it's silence or an ominous ";)" from a Dev in the forums, so while I am not saying that this game is dead, I will recommend to hold off on the buy until all 4 chapters are available just so you don't waste your money. What's there is fun with 2 likeable main characters, but it's only half the story - not selfcontained.*EDIT* It seems like I missed a developer announcement via facebook regarding chapter 3. Work seems to continue, link below by Paggio, one of the Devs.Do not buy until the rest is released. The recommendation would be a firm "Yes" if all chapters were out.. Enjoyable Story with some great puzzles that make actual sense. I like the artwork and the setting. Has maybe not aged fantastically well. Good Game all in all, for 6 bucks you get between 2 and 3 hours of old school-y Point and Clicking. Just keep in mind that it is only the first part of a story, but a fine one at that.. nope, the game & mechanics feel boring. The story and voice also not really interesting.. Lackluster in every way.- Looks terrible. The car chase sequence is a joke. The cartoon panel cutscenes are not bad, but not great either.- Sounds terrible. Some of the music is nice, but not varied enough. There is no sound design at all.- The limited voice actors does nothing to save the abysmal script.- The story isn't very compelling. It's set in Rome, but there are next to no references to the city geographically, and Vatican city is completely absent. Curious, considering the game's title.- Most importantly, the puzzles themselves are completely uninteresting and don't require any creative thought besides some simple logic and a bit of pixel hunting. Even in the limited landscape of adventure games, stay away from this one.. Interesting while it lasts...This is a very short prologue of an adventure. The three and a half hours it took me to complete it served to build up a tense atmosphere that began to draw me into the plot. Sadly however, it ended abruptly and very frustratingly, with nothing resolved.I am not sure about these episodic adventures. On the one hand, it is understandable that developers need to release titles in parts as they need the finance to finish off the game, but on the other hand it can be very frustrating for the player that enjoys the full works. I guess this has to do with the generally low price of retail nowadays, compared to, say 15 - 20 years ago when full, long games cost at least 10 times as much. So it's not surprising short episodic chunks are being brought to us.The graphics are good and easily serve the purpose, creating a solid atmosphere. The dialogue and voice work is very well done. The main character is particularly well-voiced. The puzzles are mostly very easy as everything points the player in the right direction. The only time I had any length of difficulty (and it wasn't very long) was in a pixel puzzle where something needed to be picked up to move the story along.I notice that the second episode came out two years after this one. There are supposed to be 4 episodes in all, so it looks like this game won't be concluded for another 4 years, if the developers keep at it. Thus, I'm going to sit it out and wait for the rest to be released before I play anymore.
