    This game - well, not a game, it's a piece of interactive fiction - surprised me. It is intelligent, moody and asks some very important questions and, most importantly, never forces an answer. It rewards introspection and thought, and would, I'm afraid, be crippled by a player in a hurry who refused to stop and read, examine and, most importantly, think.

    I hope this, and spiritual sibling The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, are hints of a genre that will grow.

    My only negative? It could have been longer - but what's there is amazing.    … Expand

    The game fits perfectly with the thematic exposed... The game is a referent, in fact has more content than other of the same genre as Dear Esther. I really feel in the place... The story makes the game even more addictive... you need to explore every corner of the game... trying to understand what's going on...

    The longer I played The Old City, the more I kept hoping that it would end sooner than it did. While each chapter can be completed in about ten minutes or less, the lack of involving content and Jonah's unbearable droning made it all feel much longer.

    Yet another sorry first-person walker with a convoluted, rubbish story pretending to be something deep and valuable. [02/2015, p.53]

    The Old City: Leviathan is good only for one thing. Leave it running on your computer and go to sleep. Let your friends think that you’re philosophizing all night long.
