Superbly crafted urban fantasy
Unavowed is a great ride and exactly what I want out of an adventure game. Even going in with high expectations, I was surprised just how invested I became in the story and how attached I became to my little scooby gang. You play a character who has forgotten the last year after being possessed by a demon. As the story progresses you must retrace your steps, figuring out what your mental joyrider was doing all that time. It's set in the same universe as the Blackwell series and there are some nods that fans will appreciate, but it's a welcoming entry point for newcomers. The game is mostly broken into episodic cases. This helps make both the story and its puzzles bite-sized. While Unavowed was to some extent one of those games I had trouble putting down, the episodic structure makes for clean stopping points that made it a little easier to call it a night, which I appreciated. Speaking of puzzles, be aware they serve the story, not the other way around. That's the way I like it, and if story is king for you too, Unavowed is highly recommended. However, if you are hoping for riddles and brain teasers you may be disappointed. There IS a little of that classic adventure game sensibility here - instances where you have to connect several dots or find hidden meaning. And even in Unavowed, you are still going to be best off picking up anything that isn't nailed down. However, the majority of the "puzzles" boil down to figuring out the next logical step in the story. The music and 2D art are beautiful and really give the world its own feel. Voice acting is mostly top notch, and even the lesser performances are still decent. If you're familiar with genre fiction there may not be too many surprises in Unavowed's twists and turns. However, the execution is solid and many of the characters are compelling and memorable. I'd highly recommend it to urban fantasy fans and, really, to any story-focused player.
