It could have been so much more
This game clearly had potential. An interesting idea which gives the game further depth, a good story that keeps the player interested. The controls are easy to grasp and the puzzels are easy to understand, but can be challenging none the less. What makes the game only mediocre is the realisation. There are some bugs. That wouldn't be a problem, if they weren't so obvious. Lagging sound, Erica getting stuck sometimes and cut off or overlapping dialogue. One those would be acceptable, all together they make the game frustrating and sometimes even break it (e.g. when Erica gets stuck behind walls and can't move anymore). This game teaches you to save as often as you can, if you didn't already do it. The other thing is the immersion. The story is good, no doubt about that. But the way it is presented reminds me of a badly written whodunnit without any background knowledge about police work. Investigators in their everyday clothes and shoes run around a crime scene, putting their own fingerprints everywhere and destroying evidence! On the other hand, the game is simply beautiful. The cutscenes made up of hand drawn pictures (just like the backgrounds) by a talented artist. The soundtrack, though obviously completely computer generated catches the mood perfectly, aside from a few times. It all fits. The voice actors do not sound like professionals, but they're still doing a great job.
Hilft dir das weiter?
