    The Lion's Song isn't the strongest adventure game out there, but it is certainly one of the most uniquely interesting ones.

    The Lion’s Song offers an affecting and beautiful translation of artistic genius to in-game interactions within an atmospheric and alive pre-World War Austria. Even without experience in music, painting, or mathematics, the struggles these protagonists face and the choices they make are relatable and human, especially as we see the world through their distinct lenses. Although the chapters are fairly short—under an hour each—they are filled with moments both large and small which have game-wide consequences for characters and the player alike. Whether you choose to revisit those moments directly by making new decisions or simply by ruminating on how your choices played out, they are bound to stick with you long after fin.

    I only played the episode with the mathematician.

    The graphics of the game are gorgeous and the reason for the 2 points I give this game.

    The game itself, though, is an oversimplified point & click adventure that tries very hard to push a feminist agenda. In the case of the (female) mathematician, it is, of course, the evil male mathematicians who don't take our protagonist serious at all and her struggle for approval. The mathematicians are depicted as idiots who don't really know what they are talking about and the female mathematician is -- what a surprise -- intellectually vastly superior to each of them. The gameplay itself is just boring and it is just pushing the developer's agenda fully into your face -- constantly.

    The mathematics depicted are also totally off what was at interest at that time, but of course you cannot expect that in a game.
