Adventure games used to be all I played. I migrated to them from the
text adventures I played before them. These days, I prefer RPGs and
strategy games but I still play them from time to time. The last one I
played I got from Spalls giveaway last Christmas and I did enjoy it
but I don't remember what it was called now. :-P

Anyway, I saw Spalls post for this one first but thank you anyway. I
like the way this game looks so I may play it at some point if I even
remember that I have it. I have too many games to play right now.

I have it on Steam already, now I have it on Gog as well. I played it
before and I definitely meant to get further into it, but it suffers
from what I sometimes call the melancholy disease: the life of the
protagonist is so miserable from the beginning it gets you down in real
life. Everybody hates him because of a prophecy, nobody likes him, and
fitting for the adventure genre everyone treats him kind of shitty. That
works well if the character is some self-obsessed dunce like Roger Wilco
or Guybrush, it doesn't work that well if the character is an ultimately
decent, if a bit downtrodden guy.

Anyway, yes, it's based on the Aventuria setting. It seems they wanted
to branch out into adventure games for a while, but the lack of further
games in the vein (outside of one sequel) tells me it was not as
successful as they wanted it to be.

Someone is speaking well of you. How unusual!
