Like others, I have been interested in this game ever since I saw the trailer. The most eye-catching aspect being the 'PS1 aesthetics'. These are reserved only for cutscenes. Rather, the game looks and sounds like a dungeon synth album. But that is just one of many inspirations that Felvidek wears on its sleeve. The writing does veer into the humour of Monty Python and the Holy Grail at times, much to my delight. It being an RPG set in a historical location – in this case 15th century Upper Hungary – with minor references to Zoroastrianism also appealed to me. It's like a mini Koudelka in a way. There should be more games of that ilk.
