"Act like a beast, you risk what makes you human... Don't become the thing you hate."

Overall, I really enjoyed the third part of The Walking Dead series! This game is a standalone story that has almost nothing to do with Clementine and her journey. Sure, we see her quite often, but she takes a secondary role and doesn't prevent players from focusing on the new main character and his family.

As for the action, zombie hordes and drama, the developers absolutely did not disappoint! What this series of games is so famous for (cruelty, deaths of favorite characters, walkers) - all of this is in abundance! I would like to mention the new characters: Javi, David, Kate, Gabe and others. They are absolutely not inferior to such legends as Lee or Kenny! I hope that we will be told more about their fate!

I recommend this game to all fans of the series and to those who enjoys dramatic visual novels!

"Old sins, you know, have long shadows..."

The visual novel by the multimedia laboratory "Baba Nyura" turned out to be extremely exciting and mystical. The authors managed to convey the atmosphere of rustic mysticism and russian chthony. Dark folk in all its glory!

Perhaps I will give an unpopular opinion, but I liked another novel from this publisher called "Echoes" more. "The Sin" lacked the personal drama and the inevitable horror for me. That said, the game is done very stylishly, the music and narration are again top notch! I sincerely hope that the developers will continue to please us with other projects!

Wait for the night, turn off the lights, put on your headphones and then you will get a real pleasure reading this both sad and macabre story!

Don't forget the dead

I have been familiar with the "Baba Nyura" project for quite some time, thanks to the russian social network Vkontakte. The ideological inspirers of this community carefully find and preserve information about Russian folklore, ancient life and omens. I, as a person who is very close to these topics, was very interested in playing the visual novel "Echoes".

The game fully justified my expectations. Just for an hour of game time we plunge into a very personal, sad and in some places creepy story, which will definitely make you dive into your innermost thoughts for a while. I would like to mention the wonderful sound accompaniment, as well as very atmospheric drawing of the game background.

I recommend you to complete this game. If you put aside inflated expectations, excessive skepticism and for a moment imagine that you have to learn someone's personal story, you will definitely be satisfied!

"Killing one in order to save many is... part of survival. It's one of the though decisions a weaker person couldn't make. It's why it falls to people like us to lead them to safety. They are weak and we are strong..."

This game is a perfect continuation of the first part of the series. In terms of drama, brutality, and hard decision making, it's safe to say that the game completely lived up to my expectations.

Once again, I want to note the irreversibility and unexpectedness with which the characters die. You are just beginning to get to know someone, get used to and empathize with them, and then immediately, for sometimes completely idiotic reasons, a character dies... It's really hard to relive, but that's what makes the game so natural and stark.

Definitely recommend it for a playthrough. 10 out of 10

"You're not a bad man. ♥♥♥♥, that doesn't mean anything anymore. A man isn't bad... a man just is"

This game is a true masterpiece that can definitely be compared to the greatest books or movies ever made by man.

This game is a must-play for anyone who wants to get genuine emotions and see how low and high the price of human life is at the same time.

I won't describe the pros or cons. Just go through this little adventure. It is capable of telling its own story in its best tones.

10 out of 10

"Kneel before the priest of Lust! Embrace my will!"

I really enjoyed the game! The developers managed to convey the atmosphere of a secret cult that worships strange gods and preaches lust. The game is fun to play, as it is filled with many details that reveal the story and beautiful locations reminiscent of H.R. Giger and Lovecraftian art. It won't take you more than a few hours to get through, but the tension, intriguing narration and atmosphere of debauchery won't leave anyone indifferent!

Pros : the story is not banal; the atmosphere is mesmerizing; there are many opportunities to interact with the world; the soundtrack is pleasant; you can learn more about the world as you go along.

Cons : simple graphics; monotony; lack of "uncensored" details.

Overall rating - 8 out of 10. Recommended for playthrough!
