The Charnel House Trilogy (2015)

It's a point and click adventure. It advertises itself as three games in one; it's not, it's one continuous story with three 'chapters', two of which have you controlling the same character, and all it is is an extended introduction for something that the outro promises will come in 2016, the year after the game was released, that as of right now still hasn't materialized. I found the character you spend most of the game with rather unlikable. The setting for the game's second and third parts is a confusing metaphysical conduit of the "brings your personalized inner demons to life" variety which ended up reading largely like a disguised self-therapy session for the writer. At least the music they furnished the game with is pretty good, which fittingly enough was the main reason I pushed myself to play it, to better contextualize a song from it I had picked out for a VGM list channel I'm running.

Played this game, because I saw somewhere a recommendation for simillar games to Cat Lady. I guess I see some similaries. Interesting idea, good story and short game, which you can complete in 2 hours. In general I would have loved if this game would have went deeper into the lore, psychology and with more explanations and tying loose ends, but it is what it is. Not worth the full price, but for few € it does introduce an interesting lore.
