Agatha Knife
Official Description (Ad Blurb)
Experience life through the eyes of seven-year-old Agatha, an insomniac who finds herself conflicted between friendship with the animals in her mother’s butcher shop and her unwavering love for eating meat. Embark on a satirical narrative point-and-click adventure as you go on an unpredictable journey through Agatha Knife’s quirky and hand-crafted world. Aiming to make the animals unafraid of their inevitable fate in the butcher shop where Agatha works, you’ll head into the whimsical Psychotic Universe looking for answers.
Upon her discovery of religion, Agatha quickly realizes it could be used as a valuable tool to win over the animals, quash their fears, and make them unafraid of death. Join Agatha as she undertakes the challenge of creating a new religion of her own, Carnivorism, and works to convince the animals that the sacrifice of their flesh is the secret to eternal happiness.

MUCH better than its predecessor
The Good
This game had good graphics, sound, and generally decent puzzles. But more importantly, it managed to be just as edgy as the first game in the series (MechaNika) was trying to be, without being so blatantly vulgar, gross, and offensive. This game is actually a prequel to that game, and it's a shame that the developers didn't just start with this one.
The Bad
I would have preferred to have had voice acting, and the puzzles in some cases were not sufficiently clued. There was a hint system, but that is not a substitute for well-designed puzzles. A lot of backtracking was required, and while there was an option to run, the player character had to constantly stop running in order to cross streets, which was annoying. I also experienced multiple crashes playing through Steam and had to restart my computer in order to continue playing.
The Bottom Line
Agatha Knife is a traditional third person point and click adventure that is essentially a satirical take on religion. In a humorous way, it manages to poke fun at the concept of organized religion in general without being offensive. There are also major jabs at veganism, and hardcore meat eating, as well as at many other societal constructs. A very well done satire with the exception of a few puzzles that could have been better clued, and a bit too much walking around.
