70/100
Unforeseen Incidents has its charms. It looks great, and some of the puzzles are genuine fun. And even though Harper is irritating, he's well-intentioned and a fairly good protagonist. The most serious issue for me is the loading time between screens and how slowly Harper walks.

Amateurish and Terrible
It's also vaguely homophobic and racially insensitive. The game doesn't know what it wants to be. As you click around, your character happily speaks up and tells you, the player, what's in his house, sort of like Zakk McKraken. But then you encounter some lady who's apparently been beaten and is bleeding out of every orifice. It's a brutal scene and totally jarring with the initial vibe. The voice acting is atrocious. Here's a tip, if you can't actually DO a German accent, don't attempt to in a game being sold for money. This game was so bad, I played less than an hour and returned it and got a refund.
