bitparade.co.uk take a look at another indie game from 2015, ready from our feature at the end of the month

The Old City: Leviathan is slow to get going. Incredibly slow. So slow that even if I wasn't capturing I might have still skipped the literal wall of text at the beginning of the game. And, to be fair, there's not a lot of excitement in the video, there's barely anything interesting, and I did start to write the game off

I was wrong though. The second half of The Old City: Leviathan becomes fascinating. It never quite manages to capture the tension that seeps in to something like Dear Esther, Gone Home, and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, but its focus on theology did grip me. Granted though, the often repeated mantra of "not for everyone" really rings true here, I didn't think it was pretentious, but it's a walking simulator with an obtuse argument about theology running through the whole thing
