The Abbey of Crime Extensum

The Restless Crosshead, mentor of Steam had Always been curious to try a game, The Abbey of Crime, the original, which has always been classified as one of the references or classics of the Golden Age of Spanish software. Today, thanks to this fantastic "remake", we can do it in a way more according to the Times that run and finally, delve into a world that, even despite its limitations, manages to put the habit and feel the austerity of life monastic in our own Meats. As well have been charged to remark their creators, The Abbey of Crime Extensum, like the original, is based on both the literary work and the film "The Name of the Rose", taking even the latest designs of characters and situations to create A world a little more believable that gives form and image to the development of events narrated in the novel and that will lead us to the resolution of a series of murders perpetrated in the bosom of a seemingly calm, abbey. Well, once having put in position, the sound section and the atmosphere of silence and mystery that surround the video game do the rest, getting, as I said at the beginning, to enter fully in the simple and austere but rigorously ordered Life of a monk inside a monastery that, with its own conflicts and rules, works autonomously as a microcosm isolated from the rest of the world. Thus, without stridency or changes of scenery, The Abbey of Crime transports us to its world in a totally unexpected way for a videogame of such simplicity in its approach. Personally and to my surprise, the truth is that I have to admit that it is strange to see that such a small level of immersion has been achieved. Graphically the "remake" has adapted its graphics to the "pixel art" style that is so topical and so good results. Everything is recreated in detail but under the aesthetic of a "super deformed" style, both in the characters and in the architecture of the abbey. Here Is a great effort to bring the classic to new players, which also results in improvements in gameplay as a new control, a map of help and, obligatory today, possibility of saving our games. I Think that, without knowing exactly what the original work was, I can say that the objective has been achieved to give you a new opportunity, a new life, for those who in your time could not enjoy it. Possibly not like everyone for its slow development or simply by the proposal itself (re) raises, but if you give it a chance you can end up discovering a more complex videogame and therefore entertaining what initially could Seem. There's no need to say yes, in addition to enjoying the video games, you did with the novel or the movie on which it is based, this "remake" is an opportunity that you can not let escape, even more if you are offered for free as a homage to a classic. I Think now I understand all the fame of the original and that, I hope, continues to increase thanks to Extensum.
