The problem is that the game is generally good but haven't anything really special, anything what makes you cry "wow!" My impressions are actually mixed but as there's no possibility to vote so, I'll rather say "no.". It must be a natural law that well storied point-and-click adventures have to have bad graphics to be seen as serious stuff. The Samaritan Paradox is one of these. A resolution of 640x400 must be enough (and on D3D9 its even half size lol)Actually you play two different stories:One takes place is Gothenburg, Sweden in the 80ies with a murder crime scene and you as the cryptologist Ord (yeah, that's a name) searching for three chapters of a mysterious book hidden by the victim, a famous writer. The second is the story of the book: A medieval fantasy story with dragons and wizards. In there you are a female named Freya. Somehow there are some parallels between the fantasy story and the real world as you can imagine. Alltogether It's really amazing how innovative and various the riddles in this game are. Sometimes there are fast click actions where you must hide quickly behind doors. Another times you rebuild star constellations on a dame chess board. You must find combinations of items, transcode messages and working as a hobby detective. Highly enjoyable!The final conclusion is, you'll see then, the irony which the samaritan paradox means. Somebody who is helping poor people in the third world but in order to hide his illegal business activities. And someone who slayes dragons and poison people to find the love of his/her life and pretend to the people that he/she saved them all. In the end remains just one question: Who does seriously take care of the sea otters?. Once I finally got the resolution set to my liking (typical for a game made in Adventure Game Studio) this is an enjoyable game. There are some unique aspects that keep you interested in the stories that I won't spoil in a review. I haven't finished it yet, but so far I am enjoying the story and puzzles.. A really good story. A pixel hunty, not exactly logical attempt at a point 'n' click.If you want some games that use the ags engine well, have good story and overall work a lot better (oh and are free rather than spending $10 on something as bad as this) then look into some of the early Reality On The Norm games, some it might be a little hard to hunt down links that aren't broken for since they are rather old but they are a shining example of how to use the engine correctly and also have a pretty good storyline between them.Or if you straight up crave point n click look at some of telltale games' stuff (I personally reccomend their sam and max games). I have a hard time recommending this one. I'm doing it because I did enjoy playing it, I liked the puzzles, lots of cool locations and the story is really well plotted. On the other hand, and I don't want to give away spoilers, wtf is wrong with the people who made this game???. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT ! Seriously this game started up as a not particularly inviting game for someone who likes a beautiful looking game but if you enjoy action and good story gameplay . TRY IT !. Perfect for those who want hard riddles, complex puzzles and pixel-hunting on retro graphics. This swedish set game is out of the ORD-inary. So be warned that the story get weirder the more you advance through it! Whispers of a Machine launching on April 17!: https://store.steampowered.com/app/631570/Whispers_of_a_Machine/.
