The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:
1 Cup Not serious entertainment
2 Cups A reasonable game, worth a try
3 Cups A good game, worth playing
4 Cups A great game, well worth your time
5 Cups An outstanding, must-play game!
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you think your game has been underrated!

(Why has my game been rated 1 cup?)

Close window
If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just getting started!

Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

About this game

A young boy awakens in a strange set of rooms at the top of a tower.
He is told that he is to become the 'Anchorite', and must follow three commandments:
Thou shalt complete the daily tasks.
Thoug shalt not look upon the sullied.
Thou shalt not leave the tower.
He is told that he must do this to reach enlightenment, and that it is not only for his own good, but for the good of the city.
Many years pass, and the Anchorite adapts to his new life, until he sees something unexpected at the window, and his life, which had seemed so safe and serene, begins to unravel...
The Anchorite is a point & click mystery made in two weeks for the Adventure X Jam 2024.
