You know those games that say that every decision you make will have affect on your gameplay but it forgets those decisions 5 seconds later? Well this is one of those games that actually delivers on that promise but it wasn't advertised as such. So this is more a fair warning to save early and often, you get a lot of slots for saving so you can go back if you need to. It's fun to feel like you really have to dig for clues and be careful about how you investigate each case.

Big fan of adventure games but some of them are obtuse or too easy. This one does everything well and has a fun setting.

this is such an awesome game, the investigations give you enough freedom to mess around and go your own way, the main story is extremely engaging, and the voice acting! last but not least, I adore this setting tremendously, it's such a great concept executed at the top level!

I bought this game a while ago when I was on a big point and click binge but just recently got around to playing it and oh my god. I love the approach to the detective point and click style. I always love puzzles, but I liked that this one focuses more on the dialogue and investigation of your surroundings. I grew to like Miles, as dumb as he can be (JUST TALK TO YOUR WIFE OH MY GOD DUDE) , and I really liked Bill's character and his commentary. Performance wise, it ran great. I frequently switch monitors between my regular 24inch and my 55in TV and the graphics scaled nicely between the two. I will say that I got stuck on one case because of certain dialogue options (I love to exhaust all dialogue in every game I play), so that was annoying. I'm not a frequent saver, so I had to restart one or two cases (SAVE OFTEN). And in case 5 I came across a bug - to avoid spoilers I'll just say talk to people before investigating. I got stuck in a hard lock investigating first before talking to one of the NPCs. But other than that, I enjoyed the narrative, the art style, and how everything ties together. The end definitely left me feeling some type of way. Definitely recommend if you don't mind a game with a focus on dialogue and not many puzzles.
