About this game

Father and Son is an adventure that takes off from the National Archaeological Museum in Naples, a cultural institution housing some of humanity’s greatest artefacts and treasures.
What begins as the story of a son who never knew his father becomes a universal and ageless tale, with the present and the past making up the setting for Michael’s travels. Seek for yourself the beauties of Naples, experience the last hours of life in Pompeii before Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, and explore the ordinary day-to-day life in Ancient Egypt. The past is what makes our present real.
Completion time: 50-60 minutes. Some sections of Father and Son are unlocked by checking in at the Archaeological Museum of Naples, publisher of the game. The Father and Son soundtrack is available for download on the official site.

Ratings and reviews

The first impression this game gives you, is of beautiful and simple graphics. I thoroughly enjoyed this game in the beginning, jusy because of the graphics. But honestly, I never finished. I really wanted to like the story, but I got extremely bored with the story and the gameplay. This game has a wholeee lot of walking. Maybe if I finished the game I would have a different impression, but I don't want to put myself through all the walking again.

A short game which masterfully designed and crafted. Short game but everything is impressive. The music, the story, the art, the smoothness is something that no one would expect. Gameplay is very slow, but the atmosphere and music significantly helping me to enjoy it. Story is indeed a bit confusing, but it really make sense when you got it. The 2nd story is hitting me deep on my moral decision making and successfully made me shed some tears. A shame there is GPS-locked areas, but not a problem.

I recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a quick game to play, beautiful art, characters, music, and story. There are no annoying ads to get in the way of your experience. This game does allow you to make choices, and it is particularly important in the Pompeii part. That part of the game made me emotional. The entire game has a melancholic and pensive tone, but the Pompeii part was tragic to me because I chose to not take the money from Cornelius. I want to visit Naples someday...
