Post Mortem

I never play investigation games. I have very rarely cared for any point and clicks. I hate puzzle games. I was lured in by the pretty girl, the art and the price. I'm sure this game is perfect for someone else.

Frustrating and bland story line. Puzzles in the game made no sense even when you cheated and used a walk-through - I walked away from this game .. hence the 1 star review

OK, I approached this game after finishing the first Still Life. Knowing that it's a prequel to that game I really wanted to like this one. But the game failed me miserably. Firstly, no dialogue skipping - a big, big no no for an adventure. Secontly, plot holes right from the beginning of the game - you tell the lady you're not interested in the case, then you go and meet her and suddenly you know it's the murder of her sister? How's that possible? Oh, and what would have happened if you hadn't called? Nothing. You supposedly have a choice whether to take the case but in reality you don't. Bad writing. Thirdly, and that annoyed me from the very start of the actual gameplay - the movement/controls pseudo-360 degrees thingy. It's awful and very frustrating. It has all the disadvantages from FPP and TPP but has none of their advantages - worst of both worlds. Fourthly, as I decided I don't like the game as such very much but I'd try to just complete the story with a walkthrough for the sake of the story itself... The game crashes every time I alt-tab out of it. So thank you, no.

The game is plagued with tons of bug and weird clicking object\locations. Pixel hunting do get an item or a step and sometimes it doesn't work too. Just watch a walktrough on youtube if you want to know how the story of Still Life's precursor.

Honestly, the game is bland, the characters are flat. The protagonist is an absolute moron. Don't waste money on this game, there are way better occult themed mystery games out there.
