WHAT IS VIGIL: BLOOD BITTERNESS?
Vigil: Blood Bitterness plunges the player into the dark and disturbing story of an ancient civilization that is being destroyed by Evil. Ritualistic killing and blood lust blur the line between your own kind and the evil you seek to annihilate.

Your ultimate goal is to free yourself from this tormenting place and understand the origin and the purpose of this uncanny Evil. An Evil that annihilates all in its path, it has no shape but seems to follow a precise scheme, drowning everything under a black essence; it is impossible to stop or even to slow down. Since its birth, the universe is slowly disappearing.

Engrossing cut scenes bring you every brutal detail as the gothic sci-fi story unfolds and plunges you into confusion. The chilling music, menacing characters and stylized black and white presentation draw you deeper into this gruesome, episodic 3D adventure game.

Before you embark on your quest remember this, Vigil: Blood Bitterness is not made of a series of puzzles to solve rather the entire game is a puzzle. What you do in one area of the palace may have an effect on a seemingly unrelated area of the game.

(The second episode is already in production and will continue to raise the quality of this experience.)

Features:
• Easy point-and-click playability
• Engrossing story with deeply disturbed complex characters
• 3D graphics with revolutionary black and white art with dynamic camera angles
• Challenging puzzles to solve
• Compelling pre-rendered cut scenes with voice acting
• Clues in text, picture, and video form
• Game saves and multiple player profiles
• Subtitled cut scenes

so does this still hold true, or is this truly the end of the bitterness? had fun with the game, despite all the bugs, ending was a bit weak though. would really like to see another episode though, maybe involving one of the brothers.

I like how one of the features is "subtitled cutscenes" but the cutscences don't even work. Basically, if they don't work, there is no way the story can be told. I ran around Act 1 randomly not knowing what the heck I was supposed to do until I randomly right-clicked on one of the circles in the floor that allowed me to move on.

Vigil has my award for "Most Interesting Game that doesn't Work".

Also, will this second episode be a free addition to the game?

I completely agree. But at least people on another thread found an workaround for playing the videos: go to windowed mode by pressing Alt+Enter.
