  • Astrologaster Review

    Remember the good old days when doctors used the stars and instinct to diagnose the locals. None of this evidence-based rubbish. Astrologaster is a hilarious point-and-click adventure game in Elizabethan England bursting with fun. In Astrologaster you are Simon Forman or Doctor Forman to some.
