That’s not to mention the game’s art, which is gorgeous throughout. The balance between difficulty and cleverness is hard to get right, but Unavowed strikes the perfect tone, making for a satisfying and brilliant adventure.
While some are obtuse (as is often the case with the genre), they’re typically based on logic, and extremely rewarding for players to work through, one magical locale at a time.
The writing in Unavowed is spectacular, as its point & click puzzles. As you go on a pilgrimage to discover exactly what led to this possession, you meet a cast of warlocks and magical creatures, all of whom exist in a strange pseudo reality that aligns closely with the real world. In it, you play as a character who’s been possessed by a demon and later forced to reckon with the chaos they’ve left in their wake. Unavowed is a modern point & click adventure heavily inspired by the urban fantasy genre, as well as hits like The Secret of Monkey Island.
