    Do you often think of what is there, beneath the towns and the cities we live in? Sewer systems, bombshelters, scientific objects...

    Are you ready to find yourself in a place on the edge of the reality plane you are used to?

    That day promised nothing bad. But a usual walk with a girlfriend ended up in running for ones lives from bandits, which lead the main characters into strange catacombs, where the usual laws of the universe fail. You will have to pass tough tests and to overcome yourself.

    The Agony is a visual novel from the authors of "Sixtieth Kilometer".

    The plot movement depends on the player's decisions, each leading to its own consequences. There are four different endings, based on the choices you make in the first part of the game.

It has an interesting back story, some interesting characters and a good amount of choices but overall it doesn’t put it all together. The story doesn’t come to any real conclusion or even a cliffhanger, it just ends. No resolution given to many plot points. Many of the characters were well written but just go away with no explanation. There’s just too many loose ends to overlook. There are a good amount of choices as I mentioned but there are also a bunch that lead to a game ending death so those ones aren’t real choices. The text was pretty well done. You can tell it was written by someone to whom English wasn’t their native language so the sentence structure or wording was strange at times but you could tell what they meant and the spelling was great.

    I played The Agony on Linux. It opened on the wrong monitor and had to be moved over to my main monitor manually. This is a bug with the engine though not the game. The Agony used the Ren’Py engine. It used up 179MB of disk space. Alt-Tab worked. It never crashed on me once.

    I finished The Agony in 91 minutes. I paid $1.09 CAD for it and while it could be hard to argue value normally there are plenty of cheap or free visual novels that are better than this one. Overall I can’t complain about the price but would recommend many other visual novels before I got to The Agony.
