Curator Review

By 黑泡芙 29 April, 2018

“这是我非常喜欢的一款游戏，但并不是从游戏本身来说它有多优秀。如果谈游戏的话它有些过于难了，对于一定区域的知识的需求算是普通解密游戏的一个大忌了。由于宗教和知识普及的问题，谜题过难的问题对国人而言会更加严重。。另外，它的操作算不上友好，某些成就的解锁更是扯蛋——当然，如果你玩过史丹利的寓言，那么扯蛋的成就也不是什么问题。最后一点就是它令人诟病的苍白结尾了。
然而作为一个学设计的，这款游戏营造出的氛围”

The Samaritan Paradox is set in Sweden in the 80's. Ord Salomon has agreed to help Sara Bergwall find the book her father, Jonatan Bergwall, wrote before he died. During the course of this treasure hunt, he learns that Jonatan was investigating the weapons industry, and more specifically some covert affairs with foreign dictatorships.

But more questions arise. What is the book about, and why does Sara want Ord to find it for her? Did her Alzheimer's-stricken mother know the secret before she grew too demented to share it? And how did Jonatan actually die?
