Mmm
The atmosphere is working and the puzzle there are good, i must compare with The Longest Journey and make 1 star down. But the themed story is here very cool !

Great atmosphere, not much else
The atmosphere of the game is fantastic. I really enjoyed the artistic direction of the game; the soundtrack, in-game art, and cutscenes were all perfect in my eyes, even if the cutscenes suffer from being a bit low resolution for modern standards. Aside from that there's not really much good to say. Voice acting leaves a lot to be desired, and the modern-day dialog was a bit too crass for my tastes. The story starts off strong, but the ending of the game is very sudden, and feels rushed. Clearly the game is set up for a sequel which makes it feel unfinished. Dialog is very linear, which is a big departure from the first game. Personally I prefer dialog trees as it makes the game replayable. The puzzles are mostly quite easy, but at least they are related to the story. The only hard puzzle is a stupid baking exercise that has no relevance to the game whatsoever. I wish there was more use of the detective equipment (fingerprinting, etc.) The game has some technical issues that ought to be fixed. For some reason everything but the cutscenes and audio seems to run quicker than it should. Mostly this meant that walking around was quicker (actually a bonus IMO), but it also made some of the puzzles very difficult. Particularly the door code puzzle, where I almost didn't have enough time to enter the code. The movement was also buggy, with the playable character often walking into walls because there were areas where they couldn't walk around obstacles. There were a couple of places where Victoria would get stuck on a step (e.g. the elevator), and I'd have to reload a previous save to fix it. Also worth mentioning that my game crashed multiple times when trying to watch the first two cutscenes. I didn't have any further crashes for the rest of the game up until the penultimate cutscene, which is right at the climax of the game!! I had to try watching it >10 times before I made it through without crashing.

Frustrating
Playing this game at the moment... in two minds as to whether I will finish it due to frustrating navigation. Do the developers not play these games themselves? It's great that there is a map for the main locations, but why do I have to take up to 45 seconds to get to different places within a location? For instance, the office: get out of 4x4, walk across the car park, wait for elevator, press button for level, go up in elevator, watch the floors passing (feels like I am at work) get out of elevator enter office. Need to go down to the morgue, leave office, go to hallway, press button, wait for elevator, press basement level, go down in elevator, get out of elevator, enter pin code into morgue, enter hallway, enter unnecessary room before morgue, enter morgue. Oh... need to go back to office... another 40 seconds... need to go to Dad's house... back down... elevator... car park... walk through car park... walk to vehicle and then I can click the map icon. This is the same with all locations. does it not occur to the developers to put the map icon in every screen, so that the user can go straight to any location from any location. Site mods, my original review was too long, but your message does not tell me the char limit. I wasted five minutes trying to figure out how much space I had. Annoying

its like reading a book....
I've had this game for years and absolutely love it. its like reading a novel. it just keeps going on and on... love the story line and the characters. the lock picking puzzle is one of the hardest puzzles, that and the robot puzzle. I have Still life II but haven't played it through.... I highly recommend this game, its really fun to play!
