The Lion’s Song: Episode 1 - Silence
Listen.
I played through this game twice.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I believe you should play it…
But I don’t think it’s good at what it tries to do. In fact, I think it’s disastrously bad.
Mechanics-wise, The Lion’s Song is simple: it’s Telltale-style stuff. Many choices, some consequences. A few simple but situation-appropriate puzzles. That’s all.
Setting-wise, it tries to depict the Belle Époque that was cut short by WWI. And that’s where in my opinion it fails spectacularly. Why though? All the attributes of the period are in place. No anachronisms. Historical figures show up on-screen. It tries to explore the directions art, music and math took at the time. It explores social tendencies. So what’s the big deal?

There are many reasons why “The Lion’s Song” is one of the best games I have played in 2017. From music to characters and design: The game did many things right.
| Story | In each of the four episodes you’ll experience the story of different characters that are slowly discovering themselves in the setting of Austria in the beginning of the 20th century, not long before WW1. Even if the episodes themselves don’t build upon one another, they’re informally interwoven. |

As I have now actually completed all five episodes of Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People: Season 1, I can give the game a proper review instead of just saying that it’s a cool game for attractive people, even though, you know, it kind of is.
First of all, we’ll get this out of the way: Unless you are a fan of the Homestar Runner universe, there is a probability that you won’t enjoy this game. It makes endless references and jokes related to the series that you wouldn’t understand unless you’ve seen some of the episodes in question. That isn’t to say that you shouldn’t buy it just because you might not understand some of the jokes though, either way this game is extremely funny and the humour is very dry, as you would expect from a game where you’re controling Strong Bad.
