About Shardlight
What's left of the people scavenge for existence under the unfeeling gaze of the elegant, masked Aristocracy. Green Lung scourges the population, only briefly held at bay by the precious vaccine - and there's never enough to go around.
Amy Wellard is a young mechanic drawn into the covert war between the forces of the Aristocracy and the mysterious, brutal rebel Danton. Can she play both sides - or will she be forced to choose? Is Danton right that the Aristocracy are hiding something important - and if so, what?

This is a waste of money
This game is terrible you can’t get anything done because if you look at videos you will note that their is a wooden file and you can’t get it if you don’t get it at the beginning of the game. You need this file. Anyways the other thing thats supposed to happen is this man Clem and he’s supposed to talk to you about calligraphy witch doesn’t happen. Don’t waste your money on this game.

I wanted to like this game
The mechanics and voice acting and art is top notch! My issue is the same of that of a lot of modern day point and click games.The character just seems bored like they don’t want to be in the game and they are unwilling to even think about performing any actions that might be interesting. Just imagine some snobby pretty goody two shoes that doesn’t like getting her hands dirty and that’s the protagonist. In the game she’s a mechanic, but you wouldn’t know that playing her. Pepper in the ham fisted political propaganda of our current year and there you go. There is definitely a demographic for a game like this, and they obviously worked really hard at flushing out this world, the art is also amazing! That’s why it’s so disappointing these days to play the retro style adventure game only to be smacked with the vapid boring mindset of a modern-day mary sue protagonist.This game is supposed to be post apocalyptic yet everyone acts like they need to be polite to each other. Just imagine the apocalypse happened in the only ones that survived are the students at UC Berkeley and you pretty much have this game.
