Absolutely loved the religious imagery! But that's about it.

Let it be said that I've never played any other games in the series. So I have no idea how this one relates to the other two Dungeon Nightmares. Are they supposed to be funny?

Because Ergastulum sure felt like a comedy. Weird animations, a story that is as wild as it is nonsensical. Granted, I couldn't tell you what this game is about even if I tried really, really hard because it just gives you nothing. No explanations for the different sequences, no context, no coherent story line. You just do stuff to proceed to the next thing on your agenda and never really learn why.

Maybe this is a weird social experiment? Are the developers trying to see how long they can make do actions without cause or consequences? Is this subliminal conditioning?
