A great time from start to finish. Unavowed tells a compelling story with all the enjoyable parts of a point and click game and none of the frustrations. Every party member was likable, especially Eli, and I greatly enjoyed all the unique interactions you could get from mixing up your team on each mission. The puzzles were satisfying to solve while rarely taking too long to figure out and there was effort put into making the puzzles solvable regardless of your team composition with different solutions. I feel like a lot of the story-heavy indie games I try out tend to have their writing mired in irony and quirkiness so I really appreciated Unavowed's dedication to just being a serious and genuine modern fantasy adventure that knew when to properly lighten the mood with its realistic and enjoyable dialogue. It also did a nice job at presenting some genuinely tough decisions at the end of each chapter and it was neat seeing the consequences at the end of the game. The art was really nice, and combined with the great soundtrack it was able to keep up a really nice atmosphere throughout every investigation.
