I’ve long wanted to play Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth. It is one of those games that I see on sale for a few bucks, think about purchasing for a moment, but then conclude that now is not the time. I was also unsure exactly what I would be getting into. What “gameplay” did The Pillars of the Earth have? Doing a little research, the game is basically a visual novel where your choices matter. Having played That Dragon Cancer, Batman: The Telltale Series, and even Mutazione, Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth was right up my alley.
Last night, I played through the introduction (which had me, the husband, pulling midwife duties for my in-game wife). Color me intrigued.

I’ve played this game! You’re definitely in for an interesting ride and some tough decisions. Interested to hear more of your thoughts on it!

You played it all the way through? Wow! Just from playing the opening, the game moves at such a slow pace. Want to see how the story balances everything out.

Yes, the game starts off slow – and I’m not sure it ever gets fast-paced, per say. However, the story ramps up – and I wanted to see how things finished up. So, I did finish it – and on the whole, I’m glad I did.
