Jan. 2025

I didn't know what to expect, but I wasn't disappointed. A period point and click set in early to mid 20th century America, A Golden Wake is a well crafted and brilliantly voice acted game. The puzzles are challenging enough to keep interest but not so bewildering as to restrict the flow of gameplay. The setting is conveyed accurately with a respect for detail without exagerated flair, adding to the legitimate feel of the world and characters, all of whom are written with a sense of reality. That's not to say that the game is boring or dull. There's plenty of laughs and action to be had without detracting from the more serious aspects of a period plot. All in all, a good play.

Oct. 2024

A great short original adventure game with cool art, interesting situations, no frustrating puzzles and kick ass music.

I really enjoyed playing through this game! It's got a great story that keeps you interested and good voice acting and music as well. I am playing Lamplight City now and enjoying it also.

Aug. 2024

Let me start by saying the trailer doesn't do it justice. It's all over the place, and not very representative of the story. A lot of people in the reviews speak of the stock market and how it's a boring setting, but that's only 2-3% of the story and honestly you don't have the time to get bored by it. Those reviews made me afraid the game would be no good, and to be fair, I didn't think I'd care about the 1920's. Yet, despite that initial apprehension, I loved the game. Fact is, the 1920's were a 100 years ago, and whilst we often see stories that take place during the world wars, we almost never see a story that takes place entirely between them. See, I found that the story isn't so much that of your character, but rather the story of Coral Gable, this project city that you help develop. Your actions give result to, or are the result of local historical events, and whilst Alfie is a salesman, what you sell is a dream! I think your enjoyment of the game will depend on wether you're able to buy into Coral Gable's dream or not. The musics are interesting, lovely for the most part, special mentions to Doc Dammers's theme and the Cuba tracks.

June 2024

+ Enjoyable and narratively deep P&C in the style of Wadjet Eye games! + Lovely voice acting + Great little touches in animations, small gameplay choices sprinkled, even deciding whether to wear your hat or put it on a rack is considered. + Commentary track! I'm currently replaying with this on. It has bloopers, music, historical facts. Really cool. + The music is really understated but superb! I liked the variants in certain themes like Flagler Suite. - Could've done with some more Quality of Life fast travel when you've visited an area enough times and that damn car animation... Excellent point and click, really can't wait for more of Grundislavs catalogue. B+
