    Despite its dark theme the game gets more fun by the minute and the ‘Hellboy’ and ‘Sin City’ inspired graphics are as pleasant to look at as the soundtrack is to listen to. [04/2020, p.72]

    The Blind Prophet is a gorgeously dark journey with a stunning aesthetic and captivating narrative that will stay with me for quite some time. The point-and-click elements pared with the game’s dark tone immersed me for the entirety of this adventure. Any gamer looking for a morbidly afflicting experience will find it here.

    In the end if you’ve got a hankering for some point and click adventuring, you could do worse… I’d suggest waiting till it’s on special as I don’t think it’s quite refined enough to make it worth paying full price… but it has a degree of charm.

    The Blind Prophet is a very stylish and dark game with a overextended story and controversial decisions, which you will definitely like if you love dark fantasy and classic adventure genre.

    More a stylized visual novel than a "normal" point' n' click adventure, The Blind Prophet could have been much more. The impressive artwork really saves the day.

    The Blind Prophet has a marvelous art but its gameplay and its plot don't convince us.

    The Blind Prophet has an incredible art direction that reminds one of the best works of comic masters like Mignola, Miller and Moebius, but lacks of content that seems to be ripped-off from the game.

    The Blind Prophet has an appealing graphic novel aesthetic and an interesting premise, but it’s not enough to compensate for a poor translation and bland, frustrating gameplay.

    It's a shame that The Blind Prophet fails so bad because its artistic work is absolutely fantastic. It feels like a video game turned into a comic, both gameplay-wise and story-wise. However, we can’t overlooked its flaws.

    I'm gonna keep this review short and sweet: great artstyle but boring story which couldn't keep me invested.

    I was doubtful at first since the last Point & Click I have played to were not that fantastic.

    But The Blind Prophet is really one of its kind !! The story is so nice with a lot of references and subtle jokes. The art direction is really something impressive, every screen looks like a painting and the P&C mechanics really makes you dive into each of them. The sound design is just perfect as well.
    Really good surprise for me ! Go for it guys :)    … Full Review »
