Based on Ken Follett's world-bestseller, ‘The Pillars of the Earth’ retells the story of the village of Kingsbridge in a whole new interactive way. Play as Jack, Aliena and Philip and change the events of the book through exploration, decision-making and dialogues. This interactive novel is released in three 'books', containing 7 chapters each.
12th century, England: In a time of great poverty and war, a small town begins the construction of a cathedral to claim wealth and security for its people. In their struggle to survive, lives and destinies intertwine. Philip the monk becomes prior of the small abbey of Kingsbridge. At the same time, a boy called Jack is raised in the woods by his outlawed mother. His apprenticeship as a stonemason paves his way to become a gifted master builder. Together with the disgraced noblewoman Aliena, Jack and Philip begin the construction of one of the greatest cathedrals England will ever see.

Ratings and Reviews
Beautiful art style, Fans of the book will appreciate
Sometimes a little tricky to play,but I managed to figure out what to do with a little patience. Sound track & nature sounds lovely. Probably suit an older audience. Definitely need a hint button, other than the one provided, for those who lack the patience or get truly stuck because you have to do something you didn’t realise you could do, and haven’t done before! If you love medieval history you’ll enjoy this game!
Book 2 & 3?
After finishing this game I was disappointed to find that book 2 & 3 aren’t available.
Tedious
Exceedingly slow with no options to skip through the boring narrative. Very little is interactive and the puzzles require little thinking skill. Don’t bother with this one.
