The Painscreek Killings
Description
The Painscreek Killings is a story-rich, murder mystery investigation game.
As Janet, a young and upcoming journalist, you have been asked by your editor to investigate the mysterious abandonment of a once lively town. Based on the information released by the media about the deaths of the townspeople, you set foot into the town thinking you would find an interesting story to publish, only to uncover secrets that were meant to stay hidden forever.
Can you expose the truth behind this town’s dark secrets?
The Painscreek Killings borrows mechanics from a walking simulator but goes beyond it by making the players think. It mimics real world investigations with logical puzzles that do not hold your hand, allow you to explore wherever your investigation lead, and a captivating story waiting to be discovered. The game encourages you to explore the surroundings carefully, collect clues and hints to help your investigation, and find evidence to expose the truth about the killings. There are no quest markers or hint systems to aid in your journey. You will be forced to think, to connect the dots and to piece things together, making you feel like a real investigator.

Painscreek Killings
Very atmospheric, but two major gripes (and third minor). Large area with no clue whatsoever to do: Could have left even *some breadcrumbs to follow. Now, only way to proceed is to systematically try each and every door at each and every street, and after maybe 100 locked ones, one will open. REalistic investigation, maybe, fun: Nope. And why on earth the lousy performance? A walking sim with pixel hunting and mindmapping puzzles does not need the latest gizmos of raytracing, this game should have been made playable on much less horsepower than it now requires. Third, the minor one is that main screen would really need a compass, now it is too easy to get lost in the village with copypaste buildings all over.
