About this game
The Blessed Fool a point-and-click adventure where salvation is not the point — understanding is.
You will not merely rescue the townspeople. You will descend into the human mystery at the heart of the horror that has seized this city. Your path runs through fetid streets, crumbling dwellings, overfull graveyards, libraries, and monasteries.
Features:
A world dense with living history — woven from stories, religion, and violence.
Characters drawn from the margins — the crippled, the soldierly, the mad, holy fools, bell-ringers, and monks.
An original score that deepens everything you feel.
A city with its own pulse — where history entangles with tradition, craft, and faith.
Be warned: this game will press down on you. It will exhaust you. It will offer no way out.

However, items you received in a trade with a character and already gave away before this updatemay appear as silhouettes in the collection.
