Saturnaliaisn’t a terribly long game, but it has spent much longer occupying my thoughts.
I mostly elected to go solo, because I am a ratfuck coward.
Each, too, has their own personal goal that it would be nice to achieve before they leave.

Anita is having an affair with a local, and would likehorrible revenge?to square that triangle.
Paul was adopted out of town as a child and wants to find out about his birth parents.
Every foray into Gravoi became an exercise in psyching myself up, and a weighing of cost vs. benefit.

Quite often, because I would panic, I got backed into a dead end and was caught.
Saturnalia has a literal monster, but the metaphorical one is the town.
Saturnalia is absolutely beautiful to look at.

you’re gonna wanna find tools to open up some areas, mini-puzzles in themselves.
The writing succeeds in making it all strangely poignant; you get the sense that many locals are trapped.
It’s not a nice place to visit, and you wouldn’t want to live there either.

That’s an experience you want to have.
It’s a pulse-raising, shiver-making, dark little whisper; a beautiful game.
