| On my way to Belarus! I actually know some people in real life there, so I'm curious to see what the country looks like in this game. |
When I started playing Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit,
it didn't take me long to realize this was going to be my kind of game!
I'm five hours into it now I've encountered some doozies of puzzles,
like trying to get my hands on a librarian's password, catching a cat,
juggling metal cubes, and finally a good use of the in-game notes system
to find three particular churches in the city of Vilnius, Lithuania.

| A maddening puzzle in this room that took me way longer than it should have. It almost made me nuts... |
To
continue my quest, I need to locate three keys. I already got one of
them. I know the location of the second, but I can't enter it yet. And I
know who has the third one, but I can't get to them either. So instead,
I'm pretending to be a hockey fan and travelling to Belarus to meet a
guy named Vlad who should be able to help me. I'm not sure if I'm
actually supposed to go to him at this time in the game, but it feels
like there's some kind of hidden linearity to it all so I'm just taking
it as healthy progress, and all other obstacles will be met in due time.

| I love librarians... Especially redheads. |
So
far, this game keeps living up to my expectations. It feels like
there's still loads to do, so I'm hoping for a longer playing session
soon! Milda is a great main character as well, and in my view fits
perfectly with other female adventure game protagonists like April Ryan,
Sam Everett, Nina Kalenkov, Erica Reed and Nico Collard. I'm really
looking forward to her further adventures!
