If you have a friend that utters the words “I saw the end coming a mile off” then do not consider him your friend. If he has not had knowledge of the end before playing the game, then he is simply lying to you.
The game has awesome cutscene-experiences, and when the first stream of blood runs down the screen (See second screenshot) your blood will freeze up and your mind will try to convince you to turn off the game, but don’t listen. You are in for a treat.
The developer has been kind enough to supply a walkthrough in the download of this huge game. It is not that the download is huge but the gameplay is long and durable, so you will spend several evenings struggling through this game.
The developer has made several locations which only contains one or two items which have to say a little about how much he likes making the game and how big it is. The wide range of scenarios you will be facing is divided into four acts, and you will enjoy all 4 equally, the the beginning is good and the ending is, as said, mind-blowing and amazing.
Please do yourself a favor and play this game, and then afterwards follow the developers request and write him an email if you like the game. Then go see if Prodigal 2 is done. It has started development early 2007. I can’t wait. It has been a while since I had a good screaming nightmare!
Another thing that really makes Prodigal enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Prodigal. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
