The Lion’s Song - A Review
A stunning point-and-click adventure narrative that takes you on a heart-filled journey across the art galleries and concert halls of early 20th-century Vienna.
Featuring four chapters, the game focuses on four different characters: Wilma Doerfl, Franz Markert, Emma Recniczek, and Albert Vogl. The narrative seamlessly weaves the lives of these characters, who hail from different professional backgrounds, while Vienna’s history plays a pivotal role in defining each of these stories.
A glimpse into the beauty of the city makes me find the game charming for many reasons. Its strength lies in its visual design and aesthetic setting—a pure visual treat for the eyes and soul. In addition, it is accompanied by a beautiful melody that lingers long after you’re done playing the game.
In The Lion’s Song, we are exposed to the aspirations, plights, and dreams harboured by each of these characters. In terms of narrative appeal and structure, Mathematician Emma Recniczek’s story stood out the most in comparison.
I do think the game could have benefited from a more in-depth dive, given the theme that it was going for, as it isn’t as immersive as one would hope or imagine it to be.
