I too am a horror game fanatic. I believe this is the best freeware horror game I have played. Congrats and I hope you do more. 99% (can't give 100% - Nothing is perfect :)

I really liked this game, it had alot of depth, and it was fun to play overall. Some of the puzzles were a bit silly or obscure but they were still good. Im not very sure if its a full-length game, but it took me about 3 1/2 hours to play through.

This game was very well done. There were a few parts that I thought seemed irrelevant and a few that I thought could have been re-worked a bit.. but overall I very much enjoyed it.. The ending was awesome btw!! A+

This was a pretty good game. I say so because while the game overall was solid, there was, in my opinion, some room for substantial improvement.

From a technical standpoint, the game was pretty much flawless. A few pathing errors here and there were irritating, but nothing worth noting specifically, although a speed slider for Jacob's walking would have helped.



The storyline, however, needs a bit of improvement. I was hooked during the scene in the cabin, but then I got a bit lost in the underground. The semi-humorous Arch-Lord was an amusing diversion, but took up way too much of the game; the horror pacing of it was lost and I pretty much forgot what I was doing aside from BBQing chicken. (Btw, is the BBQ recipe any good?)

By the time I got to the ending, I was rather lost--the whole story was a bit unfulfilling all-in-all, and I saw the ending coming a mile away. There are also several idiocyncracies in the storyline that bothered me--for example, why would a foreign demon world of darkness possibly created by Indians have mounting brackets held together with screws?



Artistically, the game looked nice overall, although the demon models were a bit too over-the-top to scare me. More subdued but menacing models might do better--or just keep the demons out of sight (as you do in several scenes).

Despite these flaws, I loved a lot of the game--puzzles were intuitive for the most part, etc.--and would love to see a sequel!

I loved this game, I am a huge fan of horror games, and I just happened to stumble upon it one day, and tried forever to to download it (it took too long, I'm impatient). I played through it in about 2 hours, perfect for my tastes. The graphics are wonderful. The story is fantastic, award well deserved.
9/10 for the history with the scholar being too slow, but other than that, one of the best games since 5 days. So, why are you still reading this? Go play it, NOW!!

I loved this game and couldn\'t stop playing it. It showed creativity, imiganation and some awesome graphic skills. Looking forward to the sequel!!!

A brilliant title worthy of any actual full priced release I have played; the most enjoyable thing I have played in a while. The amount of effort that has been made here is obvious so I think it only fitting to give as detailed a review as I can!

Visual 90%
The normal in game view was detailed and the interface was much better than some I have seen. The video sequences were also very impressive and the mixture of comic style graphics in some places was very original. I also liked the way you handled all of the animations for this game.

Immersion 88%
You are told enough about the characters that you actually care about what happens next. The movies are a key reason why the game draws you in at times; the comic graphics were vital with regard to immersion as they let you actually see what the main characters looked like (which is obviously very limited in the standard view). Excellant sound and music.

Puzzles and Pacing 75%
Not too hard and not too easy; a perfect entry level game for a new player but hard enough in places to really make you think. I like the way you never have to travel to far if you miss an item, that was a key part to the enjoyment. It also felt like something was always happening and there was a definate flow at all points.

Overall Enjoyment 85%
Very amusing story line together with a nice level of difficulty makes this a very enjoyable experiance. It demands a sequel!

Brilliant,Excellent.
Really enjoyed playing this game, I could not stop until i was finished.
Cant Wait for a sequel!!

I liked the game but.....

Honestly one of the greatest games out there!! I really enjoyed it!!! VERY IMPRESSED with not only the puzzles and sprites but the story line WOW ... wait till the end ... AWESOME...

This was an enjoyable game to play with an interesting storyline........Very professional in my opinion. The graphics were good and a lot of care and thought seems to have gone into it. Thanks for a neat game. J.C.

Excellent game! Looking forward to seeing more work.

this is a very awesome and inspiring game. i can't wait for the sequel.

This is a great game! Excellent! And it is night time, I'm scared, really, and still can't get my eyes of the monitor...

Congrats!

Absolutely brilliant game!

A lot of time and effort has obviously been put into all aspects of creating this game.
Technically, Prodigal has been well designed and implemented, with great graphics and sound that create a superbly chilling atmosphere. And what a FANTASTIC story. Stefano was spot on, once I started playing, I couldn't stop until I'd finished it. Congratulations to all involved on a great game!

i was rather disappointed but overall t'was most gut

Defintely worth the download.
Highly recommended stuff here!

This is indeed a great game. The immersion is excelent. Once you start playing it, you get so sucked up into it, that the only ways you\'ll stop playing are: 1. finishing it; 2. a power blackout. :)
Definetly worth downloading.
