April 2025

I haven’t missed a single Wadjet Eye game. Some have been great, others merely fine. But this one… it’s incredible: a peculiar theme, memorable characters and a compelling narrative that ends on a bittersweet note. I love it.

April 2025

Full disclosure, I'm an old graybeard of the AGS forums and knew Dave from way back when, and have played pretty much everything in the Wadjet Eye catalogue. I'm exactly the demographic for this game, and am probably biased toward liking it, but I bought the game with my own money on launch day and binge-played it from start to end on pretty much every hour I wasn't working. Wrapped in just shy of 15 hours. Probably my favorite Wadjet Eye game to date. The story is engaging throughout, and is a fun take on time travel. Some parts get frustrating due to needing to repeat things over and over in time loops, in many cases trial and error instead of anything intuitive, but those cases are the minority - by and large, the puzzles are challenging enough to need to use your head, and remember things you've read (And you'll be reading a lot), making you feel clever for solving them - but never resorts to "moon logic." Also, if you're a Steam Deck player, it works pretty much perfectly - I played the majority of the game on a docked Steam Deck with an Xbox controller. Extra-massive kudos to Dave and the rest of the team for pretty much perfecting controller interface on a point 'n click.

If you like Point and Click adventures, you must buy this game, its simply as that. Wadjet eye is the indie studio keeping our dreams alive.

April 2025

After finishing Act Two, I can reassure you: it’s a typical Wadjet Eye game, and if you liked its predecessors, you’ll like this one too. You’ll enjoy heartfelt dialogue—snappy and on point—likeable and believable characters, huge stakes, big drama (sometimes a bit melodramatic), and mild puzzling. The very first real puzzle is a bit of a downer, as it requires pixel hunting before the game’s handy hotspot marker gets introduced, and it feels rather far-fetched (at least if you’ve ever cleaned something with a dry sheet). But it improves quickly after this, and once time travel really kicks in, you’ll see many clever and entertaining takes on classic puzzles. It’s never too hard, and if you get stuck, you can always ask your assistant for (mild) advice. As is often the case with time travel stories, there are some logical inconsistencies you’ll need to accept, but the game goes quite a way to explain why certain solutions don’t work under the given circumstances—or it even lets you play out the most obvious ideas (with quick rewinding upon failure). Most of the time, it succeeds in keeping a coherent logic, which is a real achievement given the core of the story revolves around time paradoxes. Sure, some characters are unexpectedly eager to make friends with total strangers in awkward situations, and you shouldn’t expect historically accurate reactions. While more serious in tone, the game’s depiction of the 19th century is more akin to Benjamin Franklin in Day of the Tentacle than to anything found in a history book. ‘Controversial’ topics (or what counts as such these days) are clearly avoided. But who knows how many times the timeline was shifted before the events of the game started—maybe this version of reality is simply a kinder one. A word of warning: this game features a lot of depictions of suicide and murder. While many events can be undone, the game isn’t exactly sensitive in this regard. The same goes for its casual promotion of alcohol(ism). It’s nothing you wouldn’t find in a TV series from the noughties, but it feels a bit out of touch with modern sensibilities that nearly every character needs hard liquor ASAP. Back to the positives: the game looks stunning. There are so many locations, each with its own unique vibe, emphasized by a wonderful soundtrack. You can really feel the craft that went into these areas—I often find myself just standing around, admiring the details. But then the story and its fascinating premise hook me again, and I want to know more... All in all, it’s a very enjoyable journey so far, and I definitely recommend this game to any point-and-click adventure fan with a taste for engaging stories.

April 2025

Wow, only 90 mins into the game and having just finished the first case I can already tell that this is going to be yet another total banger from WadJet! Graphics are beautiful and the writing and voice acting is just phenomenal. Well done, and well worth the long wait! An absolutely no-brainer for any fans of the genre.
