And Malachi, while coming off as a jerk, has a dry wit that made me smile. I’ve studied a bit of art history myself, so opening the game with determining the authenticity of some relic from the past was an interesting hook for me.

Plus he’s a history nerd with a photographic memory. Malachi is successful and completely aware of his talents, to the point of arrogance. Malachi is not the most conventional of video game heroes and that was what initially drew me into the game. The story progresses from there, and you get caught in a world of unraveling mysteries and conspiracies that are closely connected to Malachi’s own life. After you successfully do so, Malachi is asked to go to Venice and draw similar connections to a woman who was recently murdered there. This is pretty cool because it gives you the chance to relearn trivia that you might have forgotten since history class. To do so, you read data points about the man then compare them to data points about historical figures. You’re asked to look at the bio of a man and match him up to someone in history.

Once in the game, you find yourself in an antiques shop that the main character, Malachi Rector, owns.
