Quite a ride
In Song of Farce you play a private investigator under house arrest who consequently has to solve cases using cameras and drones at remote sitse respectively phone calls. Gameplay wise it’s a collection of mini-games, light puzzles and dialog driven adventure. What makes it stand out from other, technically similar games is the story and the characters. The action unfolds on a small city state island where your cases make you meet pop stars, rich heirs, underground kingpins, the local police and others. They all have in common (including yourself) to have “gray” personalities with good parts and bad parts that make them suitable both as enemies and allies. And actually the story throws several of them into both position depending on the case and your decisions. So prepare yourself for having to make some morally ambiguous decisions. And while there are multiple endings, don’t expect one where it's all rainbows, glitter and ponies. On the negative side, I had a few occasions where I had to restart a room because the game died not register me picking up an essential item. In total, I lost less than 20 minutes because of this. Some of the numeric code puzzles were to silly for me, so I just looked them up online. And I figured out only very late in the game how to collect collectibles, which I didn’t really care about anyway. But this are minor issues compared to my overall enjoyment of the game, so consider this review a 4.7 instead of 5.0.
