Excellent Point and Click

One of the best point and click games I have played in a while. A quick list of pros and cons: Pros: - Most puzzles seem to be in the easy to medium difficulty range, which keeps the pace of the game moving forward - My playthrough was essentially bug free and I only experienced one place with an odd looking delay, and one loss of a frame - Interactive point display (spacebar) is a nice touch. - Fun things to interact with and learn about the world. - Art style meshes well with the characters and setting - I personally enjoyed the voice acting and dialog (not overly dramatic, comedic or corny, even if Pendrells self deprecation doesn't seem to fit occasionally) Cons (all relatively small imo): - Suffers from point and click puzzle stereotype where you know how to accomplish a task but may not neccesarily be able to implement the solution exactly the way the game wants to move on. Part of this may just be the intentional misleading of certain puzzles and doesn't happen often, but twice I had to look up a guide to implement the exact step/usage of an item to proceed in the game. - Tutorial timing was way to quick to understand what it was trying to show me (may just be me) - One mechanic (multitool), trying not to spoil here, seemed... unnecessarily complicated? Like obviously some things could be solved with multiple applications in real life but you needed to specifically use one of 6? options where several of them are useless for the whole game? And as a last note timing-wise, I felt the duration and pace of the game (left game on once, so around 3-4 hrs, not 11 hrs) was just right. Each area felt like it had similar amount of time dedicated to it and nothing was really rushed or forcefully long. Ending felt pretty satisfying and overall I really enjoyed the game.

Classis adventure done almost right.

The most puzzles are clear-stated to the player and are fair . Althougth there are momments , like in the 1st chapter where the feeling of visiting the same place for 20 times kind of makes the connection brake. Also chapter to chapter minigame. is a downer ( and strange the devs in their blog seems to know all those weaknesses of the genre!!) , The biggest letdown was bugs (due to a broken linux version in the save system) as a dev acknoledges in a steam thread. . Dialogues repeated and items that cant be picked .. Isnt this a big issue. I bought the game for linux a week ago. The linux cliena is still broken ??

A great point-and-click adventure game

I played the game in German language and from the beginning I was fascinated by the very good German voice output. The main character Harper is spoken very lively and funny. The dialogues are imaginative and lively. The soundtrack makes you happy and accompanies the mood appropriately. The graphic style is interesting. It's almost sketchy with overdrawn lines and fuzzy zooms. Unique and at first it takes getting used to. The puzzles are partly real head nuts and I had to consult a complete solution here and there. All in all I had a lot of fun with the game and can only recommend it to every fan of point-and-click adventure games.

Marvelous game

Well, what can i say? after playing this game i became one of those guys who wears a aluminium hat and trusts no ONE EVER. Unforeseen Incidents is a solid adventure point and click that makes you uncover the mystery behind a weird and suspicious disease , the story is well writen , the voice acting is extremely well done, and the characters are likable and memorable; the art style is what gave me the `` wow, i really love this game `` feeling, which helps maintain the experience the best one can have. I really hope the company behind this keeps amazing us. By the way this game kinda looks like the old classicals of LucasArts , and that says a lot by itself.

It's great

I really enjoyed this game. More than I expected to even. Good voice acting, interesting characters, unique animation style, and just the right amount of humor. Good puzzles that aren't unfair, and the soundtrack is top-notch. If you're a fan of old school style point-and-click adventures this is an enjoyable if not terribly long one you'll probably enjoy.
