To be honest, i am kinda of impressed with this game. The history that this game is based on is simply amazing. I was just anxious to get to the next episode every time. The graphics are cartoon type and the history deppends on the choices you make. Every choice you make will have consequences on how the game progresses and what will be the end of the game. I highly recommend this game, buy the other episodes, it is worth it!

If you like click-to-solve puzzle games with easy solves and very light memorization, this is the game for you. The Descendant is reminiscent of Myst and Life is Strange, with required puzzle-solving and decision-based outcomes. Playing a chapter of this every day for the past week was really fun; I want to go back and see what other outcomes I can unlock. I do wish it relied on the keyboard for maneuvering instead of clicking, and I also think it would have been a little more fun if exploration were more possible. You're locked into a task from the moment you're told to do it, so looking around the ark and finding clues as to what's going on isn't really possible. I think upgrading those features would have boosted this game into higher popularity, although I do think the story was interesting and well-written.

good story to follow especially for the price. The controls are fairly janky as its almost only a point and click. if you want to relax and watch the story progress along with some puzzles, this game is a must try.
