A fun nostalgic adventure game. The characters are fun and the story interesting.

Nov. 2024

The best part of this game is the voice acting and 1980s setting. There's a lot of different characters and crazy speech patterns and personalities. One voice is actually based upon the 80s movie WARGAMES ...the computer voice of WOPR. In one puzzle, you need to find a very popular computer that sold millions is the 80s. (My favorite computer back then.) There is a nice soundtrack that is 80s synth-based and is well done. It does create a unique 80s atmosphere that's immersive. I needed a walkthough for most of it because many of the puzzles are moon logic based nonsense. But, it's still a fun challenge and other puzzles have enough clues to figure out. You get lab notes at one point and it's filled with answers based upon chemistry. But, throughout the game, It can be difficult to pick-up on what few clues are given and there is no hint system. Moving around is frustrating. You have to click in just the right place to the left or right of you, otherwise you get the pop-up icons over and over again of.... GRAB, LOOK, TALK. The dialog can be slow and tedious, and the lists of choices are not greyed out along the way and some lines suddenly appear out of nowhere from the last time you talked to that NPC that can be easy to miss. Get this game on sale only. But, get it if you like the nostagia of the 80s for a crazy point and clicker.

Oct. 2024

Absolutely top-notch experience. Be aware the the seemingly unimportant choices you make during the start of the game affect the options you get later, for example one of my characters destroyed an item I thought I needed to complete a task, but there was another way. Make sure you sit through the credits for the Easter Egg afterwards, it wraps everything up with a nice bow.

Aug. 2024

Pretty nice game, the atmosphere is similar to one of the awesome Netflix series - Stranger Things. The spirit of adventure, mysticism, conspiracy theories, funny dialogues of geek friends and very cozy pixel graphics are what this short game offers me. I loved it from the very first minutes. For me personally, it's the best find of the year among indie games! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3301197502

If you’ve experienced childhood in the 1980s, and/or are a fan of pop culture of that decade, [I]Unusual Findings[/I] is an adventure game that you should check out. The developers took inspiration from movies, music and video games of that time, and crafted a game that celebrates and pays homage to this era. The game captures the zeitgeist of the 1980s in its creative and art directions: the graphics reminded me of those from Lucasfilm Games’ early adventure titles; character designs and plot elements had hints of [I]Back to the Future[/I], [I]The Goonies[/I] and [I]E.T.[/I] to name a few; and somehow, the developers got the rights to Dead or Alive’s [I]You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)[/I] to have it as the game’s title track. Pretty radical I must say. [I]Unusual Findings[/I] is quite by-the-book when it comes to point-and-click adventure game design. I didn’t find the puzzles too difficult, though I did need some pointers for a few. What’s impressive is that your responses to your friends – in form of binary choices – affect how your companions and supporting characters treat you. This means there can be multiple solutions to the same problem, adding a bit of replayability. By my third playthrough to unlock the last of three possible endings, however, I’ve had my fill of [I]Unusual Findings[/I]. That’s still a lot of game for an indie point-and-click adventure title that plays it pretty safe. [I]Unusual Findings[/I] may not break the mould – in fact, it has similar vibe as Netflix’s Stranger Things – but don’t let it deter you from playing it. The story is interesting, the dialogue is snappy, and the game design is solid. The developers’ love for the 1980s and their passion for this project can be seen and felt in every scene. The references to 1980s pop culture makes [I]Unusual Findings[/I] stand out among its peers. It helps that it has modern adventure game design sensibilities to appeal to contemporary audience, and features plenty of references to ’80s pop culture to give it a retro cool. If you’re looking for a game that makes you nostalgic for that decade, [I]Unusual Findings[/I] should be one of the top choices for your next purchase.
