Хоть это пролог, но кажется что надо было ещё пролог для полога сделать, потому что персонажи знают, а мы не знаем. Печально, что множество активных областей не исчезают после полного их просмотра. Надеюсь в полной игре такой функционал есть.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Igra ima zanimljivu priču i nešto sjajnog znanja. Grafika je također pristojna. Nije nešto, ali nije ni loše, sve je prosječno. lokacije su predivne izmišljenog gradića "Sveti Kotar" koji mene malo podsjeća na Severin na Kupi. Sama glasovna audio gluma bila je u redu, ali način na koji se reproduciraju mjestimično ima čudne pauze zbog kojih su se osjećali nepovezano. Druga stvar bila je to što se za grad koji je u Hrvatskoj činilo da ne postoji niti jedna osoba s naglaskom iz bilo kojeg kraja te regije. Nema titlova na hrvatskom, to me uz prije navedeni naglasak i razočaralo, ali vidim po raznim komentarima stranih igrača očekivali su domaći naglasak ako je već radnja igre u Hrvatskoj? Primjer kako su to trebali napraviti bih dao igru Metro 2033, nadam se da me shvaćate u primjeru što očekujem od igre koja ima likove i radnju iz navedene zemlje. Također nije bilo ambijentalne buke koja nije pomogla u prodaji atmosfere straha ili neizvjesnosti. Postoji opcija za "Classic Horror Mode" koja pruža crno bijelu sliku, štih starih horor filmova što je bila jako super ideja . Ipak, ako ste ljubitelj point-and-click avanturističkih naslova ili horor igara s puno napete atmosfere i slutnje, Saint Kotar ipak vrijedi probati.… Full Review »

I have many criticisms for it but remain hopeful. From what I have seen of the developer’s website they have already addressed many of my issues for future versions of the prologue and final game but at the end of the day I am reviewing what I have played not what I will be playing. The game does have an interesting story to it and some great lore. The graphics are decent as well. Not mind blowing but not bad either. Everything is average across the board from object detail; clothing; faces, etc. For my gripes I will start with the main characters. I couldn’t get into either. I found Benedek to be too whiny to care about. Too often he found cause to feel slighted and tried to act holier than he probably was. Then there was Nikolay who came off as a slightly aggressive junkie. Both were rude to multiple people and had little in the way of redeeming qualities. Perhaps my opinion of them changes with a full game but I don’t know. The voice acting itself was alright (Sara Secora as Ida was the best of the bunch) but the way the lines are played had a weird pause in places which made them feel disjointed. Another thing was that for a town that is apparently in Eastern Europe there didn’t seem to be a single person with an accent from any where close to that region. There was also no ambient noise which didn’t help in selling the atmosphere of dread or suspense. It also made the game odd in parts such as when Nikolay badgers Ida to turn off the radio because the noise is bothering him but there is no noise that the player can hear. The store page for the game advertises “fateful decisions” but I don’t feel like the prologue had much of those. I found one, maybe two choices. Many dialogue choices weren’t really choices as you end up asking both questions; not choosing anything other than the order they are asked. Two features I would have liked were an objective list and/or a conversation history. Either would have helped me keep track in where I had to go or what I had to do. This appears to have been implemented for future versions.

    I played Saint Kotar: The Yellow Mask on Linux. It never crashed on me and I didn’t notice any bugs or spelling errors. There are no graphics options to adjust. You can manually save at any time outside of conversations. Alt-Tab didn’t work. There is an option for “Classic Horror Mode” but the game gave no explanation as to what it did so I didn’t use it on this play through. Performance wise the game was great. It had one single drop to 53 FPS but other than that it ran at either my full 144 FPS or very close to it.

    It must sound like a bad game but it isn’t. This specific version had several things I disliked about it but I am still looking forward to the finished game and hopeful much of my dislikes will be rectified. That being said I can’t give a great recommendation to this version other than saying to try it out because it is free and has an interesting theme and story. I finished it in 2 hours and 12 minutes.
