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
Interesting idea, shame it’s unfinished
The animation is ambitious, the casting impressive, the storyline engaging (particularly to one unfamiliar with the novel), the puzzles non-existent, but if you get past the sometimes buggy interface and realise it’s just an interactive way to tell a story the thing I found most disappointing was the fact that I cannot find the rest of it. How unsatisfying to begin a story and not be able to finish it!
Not supported on device?
Has anyone else noticed the big problem with this game? Apart from the very small note on the game info page about this game will only run on a certain device and older models are not supported. If you bring the game information page up and scroll down to requirements and look at compatibility it clearly says it runs on iPad,iPhone and iPod, which is so old! So I downloaded it on my iPad 3rd generation, it won't play and crashes on cut scene. Have you also noticed that when purchasing, Apple failed to stop you from buying it. Like other games, Apple should have stopped the purchase with a box that appeared saying this product is not supported on your device. If anyone knows of how to get a refund or contact anyone, please make them aware of their error. I want a refund but don't know how to go about it, if anyone knows please post it here, not happy!!!!
Beautifully crafted, gripping yet relaxing to play
Ed: where are the other episodes?? Marked down because the other episodes are not available...
This game has been a delight to play, in fact a real treat that I am savouring. Not since Broken Sword have I played a game where so much love and care has gone in to creating it.
All I can say is buy this game, support the developer so we will get more of the same, and don’t rush it, take your time, get cosy on a cold winters night and delve in to this historic adventure...
