Nov. 2024

Not really a thumbs up, moreso a "I wish there was a neutral button rather than just yes and no". I'm not sure who exactly I'd recommend it to, is the thing. It's got a rather nice visual style, as well as a rather fine run-down-contemporary setting. Seems to be inspired by Canada, feels more European than you usually get to see in games, giving off a bit of a Disco Elysium vibe that way. Otherwise it's not bad, and I've certainly played worse modern point-and-clickers. It doesn't have an insufferable protagonist, which is a welcome exception. But it's just not quite charming enough, deep enough or memorable ebough, and might be a bit on the frustrating side when it comes to some of the puzzles. I guess that it's a step above most of the genre output from the last decade or so, but it doesn't reach "yes, do absolutely play it" level of some of the classics of the genre.

A solid 8. Modern and fresh point & click adventure. With a nice art and audio department, especially the english voice over, and storytelling is also great. The game has no exceptionally original aspects but that is neither a problem nor really needed from a point and click adventure. What's needed is a good story and nice puzzles and this game has both. Definitely recommended.

This game is ok. I got mixed feelings after finishing it, because it's actually pretty great the whole way through, right until the ending. While the first three chapters are very well done, interesting and fun to play, with easy but satisfying puzzles, great memorable characters (the eagle! the eagle!) and great voice acting and sound design, the last chapter felt abruptly short, rushed, and anti-climactic. It's weird, because some stuff happens that should feel pretty climactic, but its rushed nature made it feel like "wait, that's it?". Don't get me wrong, the story wraps up, no loose ends, this is not one of those "to be continued" games or anything like that, but after playing 3 long and thorough chapters, that ending just felt like a "oh, the deadline is almost here, we have to wrap this up quick!" kind of situation. That's definitely my main gripe with an otherwise solid point & click adventure game. I have just one other problem with this game, which might just be an exaggeration, but I couldn't help thinking about it during my time with it: it has to do with a sickness that spreads in a way reminiscent of COVID (and this came out way before COVID, so that made it eerier xD). Yet, in the game, spoilers ahead, the virus is actually produced by a health company . While this is pretty cliched, after COVID, and seeing as there was a rise in conspiracy theories and anti-vaccine movements I wonder if this game could actually be detrimental in some way to people who are already a bit doubtful about science . I actually have done some research in the lab on vaccine hesitancy and have met many people who think like that or are unsure, and something like this game could "make sense" to them. I don't know. There are some elements present here that go against this interpretation, but confirmation bias can make you blind to them if you already have a tendency on that direction, so it would be interesting to actually assess this in some way XD. Anyway, I think that the game still holds up, and in spite of my problems with it, I liked it enough to recommend it.

April 2024

The story unfurls with intrigue and suspense, As a humble handyman, my journey commences. In the town of Yelltown, sickness prevails, And unraveling its secrets, my quest entails. Through Harper's eyes, a tale of deceit, Of government schemes, where shadows meet. But fret not, dear players, for irony's ripe, In a game from 2018, echoing life's strife. Gameplay, at times, proves a rugged road, With perplexing puzzles, a heavy load. Cryptic solutions, hard to deduce, Leave players frustrated, searching for a truce. Though satire may have been accidental in its prime, It echoes a truth: trust in governments, on the decline. A journey short-lived, some may forgo, But on sale, it's a steal, a bargain to bestow!

March 2024

It's a perfectly alright adventure game. There is definitely a bit of adventure game moon-logic here and there, and once or twice where I either got stuck because what I needed to do was weird or where the game bugged slightly and didn't trigger what it needed to, leaving me thinking I was missing something. The story is decent, although the main character has a terminal case of quip-itis, which did get on my nerves just a bit. I still enjoyed it enough to finish it though.
