What a fascinating game. And what a mess. It’s such a shame, as Vigil’s unique black and white appearance and twisted design could have created something splendid. As it is, it’s a greater test of patience than skill.
Little is explained as you start, letting you try to fathom the meaning of the game for yourself. You play one of four ancient creatures, the other three being dead. Exploring, you learn how they died as you pursue your sworn enemy, Evil. Each of the four is represented by an emblem, and such emblems, when on the floor, can be prayed upon, triggering responses. The entire thing is presented in barren, haunting black and white silhouette, viewed from obscure, high-angled perspectives.
