is good

The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk is a traditional point & click adventure game produced back in 2017; it continues the story started in The Inner World. It is not necessary to have played the first game, but it helps with understanding the main characters and the strange world they inhabit. As in the earlier game, The Last Wind Monk has very good voice acting, colourful art, and much humorous dialogue, underpinned by a surprisingly dark story with many echoes (both in style e.g. the Conroyalist uniforms and banners, and in dialogue & plot - the plan to round up and kill all Flute-noses) of 1930s and WW2 Fascism.

The Last Wind Monk does not have the unreliability issues that affected its predecessor game - at least, I didn't encounter any. But, overall, I did not find playing it to be quite as satisfying as the first game, mainly because more of the puzzles seemed very obtuse, requiring the unsatisfying "try everything with everything" approach to making progress. I could see the way to solve nearly all of the puzzles in the first game, but not with The Last Wind Monk where I more often needed a mix of trial & error, and help from a guide.

I bought this game for a low price, and I can't complain about lack of value for money. My playing time represents two complete playthroughs, using two save files (three are available) - one was for my full attempt at the game (reading all of the text and listening to all of the dialogue options), and the other was for a minimalist run-through to pick up any achievements that I missed (particularly the "talk to all possible characters" one). Overall I am glad that I completed the overall story by playing this game, but it didn't leave me wanting any more.
