Hi GameBoomers community,
I'd like to share the news about Steam release of The Last Dogma with you. It's a an adventure game where story and atmosphere are the main focus.
The game is not for everyone, but you can watch the
trailer and read
some reviews to see if it's up your alley.
While not being a classic point-and-click adventure and not having puzzles, it features a hotkey based "remix" of traditional point-and-click system - instead of clicking you press hotkeys (1 for Look, 2 for Talk, etc.)

About
The Last Dogma is a dark comedy exploration adventure game set in the year 1999 of an alternate reality world, where US actively campaigns for world domination after being disappointed with the results of the Cold War.
You play as Sebastian Arise, an ATF special agent tasked with the tracking and eradication of local firearms dealers. One day straightforward tracking mission turns into disaster, thrusting him into the village of cannibalistic Christian cult known as “Holy Intentions”. Entwined in a web of intrigues between emotion-feeding daemons, Sebastian must keep his senses sharp as he travels back in 1366 A.D. to stop the things he shouldn’t stop.
The game is a reboot of Sacred Line Genesis, horror text adventure game for Sega Genesis which got an official cartridge release in February 2015.
It's weird and it's short. Recommended for fans of Killer7, Normality and Pathologic and people who prefer exploration over action.
