"A Golden Wake" is a straightforward and story focused game. Rare in the genre, and I appreciate it greatly. What I mean is, there is no moon logic or senseless dragging. A short and enjoyable one and done game. Developed by a single Indie developer, this is a great achievement. One can see the attention to detail and style carried over to the later games like Shardlight, Lamplight City and Rosewater. I have played Shardlight and it was a decent game with a great story. This game has a good story, I praise it more than its gameplay. It is a bit rough. While released in 2014, these games pay homage and reflect the style of point & click games from the '90s. Especially with the 1920s period this game is set in, this fits very well and only enforces the vibe! While the game's events are mostly fictional, they are based in real life history with real historical figures. It is clear the developer did his research into Miami's Coral Gables and its founder George Merrick. This authenticity did not go unnoticed, the story felt more grounded and realistic. The protagonist Alfie, like many men who get the job done, displayed great ingenuity and resourcefulness. That's something that is a given for p&c protagonists. Very fitting role. It's like the puzzle pieces fall perfectly in line! The puzzles were logical and well designed, in fact a bit on the easier side, but I ain't complaining as I hate moon logic idiocy. The only issue is that due to the pixel graphics it was sometimes hard to read or make sense of information provided to us. I even removing smoothing but it was still rough. Newer games provide a transcript. That certainly would help with accessibility. The music and voice acting are highly appreciated, especially in Indie games. This is truly what elevates point & click games in my opinion. This is a very underrated gem, even in the p&c community. I enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed the game. All what I am expecting from a pixel art point n click: cool atmosphere, nice music, interesting background and characters. The puzzles are not ridiculously odd. The game is quite short but I enjoyed every bit of it. None of the achievements are completely off or unatural either. I recommend.

6.5/10 point 'n click I liked the atmosphere but the writing is pretty flat, same goes for the characters. In that regard the game got the Rosewater treatment. It's pretty quick and the puzzles are very straightforward so you won't get lost + no long backtracking Overall you will have an ok time but there are way better options especially Lamplight City from the same dev

Well, playing till the end of this game give me mixed feeling. Is it a good game or a bad one I can't tell. The good is that there is a bit of historical story here, the bad is that it gives me a Deponia feeling kinda game. It is definitely a black sheep among other games I have played of this franchise. Give it a try when it's on sale, otherwise read other reviews before consider buying.

Completed it two times, one blind and the other listening to the commentary and achievement hunting. I had a great time, and this game reminds me why I love curated, relatively short experiences that give you a good story and solid gameplay. Kudos to the voice actors, they really added to the experience.
