    This is a unique, and quite frankly ground-breaking conversational adventure and RPG hybrid project set into the ancient India. It is not perfect in everything it strived for, however, Unrest has clearly succeeded in the things it wanted to tell about.

    Unrest offers a gripping story about hope, failure, action and inaction, fear and security, which feels more like an interactive visual novel than an actual game. And a well-written one, at that. Sort of like A Game of Thrones without endlessly waiting for the dragons to come, the game delivers its quick shot of gripping narrative, challenges you to make a couple of life and death decisions, then leaves you boiling in the karmic print of your choices.

    Seeing as how I was one of those few that loved dialogue scenes in other games, I really enjoyed this title. My only real gripe was how most of them end rather abruptly (one time, I moved on before I was ready and missed out on doing some side events) and one character didn’t get revisited like the others.

    Unrest is a short, smart work. Most roleplaying games are about those in power, but Unrest is also about those who aren't.

The writing and the world-building are quite good though, and I got sucked in for a while. Until the protagonist changed again, once too many, breaking the immersion, the player's involvement for good.… Full Review »
