Solid writing. Gorgeous art.

Unavowed balance itself nicely between crisp well written dialogue, gorgeous rich art, and a deeply respectful design. Respectful of what? Respectful of your time. Unavowed manages to hit a careful target of satisfying puzzles with just enough difficulty to provide satisfaction without hair pulling or internet lookups. Even better, the story is told in chapter-like segments so you never get overwhelmed with options, clues, and missed pixels. It also lacks the "walking back and forth slowly" of too many adventure games (double click on transitions). True, the game is a little "easy." This hardly bothered me. The charecterizations and dialogue mesh so well with the artwork that I just had a great time being there. If you like a well written vignettes, good pixel art, and/or easier adventure games you'll be well served here. Sure, there's more to it. A great premise, delicious murder-mystery setup, and magic. I'd love to spend more time in this world and see the characters again. I must have some more Wadjet games I've forgotten to play somewhere...

Nice newbie friendly point and click

Point and click detective game, set in a Dresden files-like urban fantasy setting. Very light on puzzles, focused on dialog, pretty graphics, very good music, newbie friendly. The outcome is basically a Bioware or Shadowrun game without combat and walking back and forth. UNDECIDED - puzzles are too easy. This makes the game approachable/newbie friendly, but veterans will be disappointed - to hear party banter, you have to stay at the location, even if you are finished there - standard urban fantasy setting, no innovations. This makes it easily approachable, and everyone feels at home from the get go - companions are hit and miss. Some are fun to have around, but unfortunately there are some Bioware-style whiners PRO - pretty graphics - music is awesome - the NY scenes were crafted with love. I think the devs are either locals, or love the city - full voiceover, most are good. (there are a few bad ones) - asking companions to do something feels better than to have a detective special ability which is common in these games (ie. strength boost as cyborg) - companion interactions add a lot to this genre - can be played in short bursts. One case is usually half an hour. - most puzzles can be solved in multiple ways, take the companions you like the most - extras, like cops and locals are memorable. I have seen similar only in VtM: Bloodlines CONTRA - the plot doesn't hold any surprises - the antagonist and her actions are quite low key. Especially since she is a corrupter/knowledge demon - in a few (really, not many) cases the writing is lazy. Dialog options which would make the most sense, and which would make everyone survive are simply not there. For plot reasons :( - puzzles can only be solved in a pre-set order. Ie. you find a doll, but you cannot pick it up until a ghost doesn't tell you lost her doll - there is no pause/rewind option in cutscenes - it is very-very disheartening to find a journal detailing the big bad's plan

If you liked Blackwell...

I liked this as much as the Blackwell series, and did not mind the silent protagonist. The story is really good, the puzzles are not nonsense, and the voice acting is good.

One of my all-time favorite games

I thoroughly enjoyed the, as Dave Gilbert puts it, mid-era Bioware kind of storytelling. Taking a mix of characters on missions makes the world feel deep because the solutions depended on their particular abilities. It is apparent that had I chosen another party member, the solution would have had to be different. The writing is up there on the high Wadjet Eye bar, and together with the flexibility and alternative origin stories, makes the world feel deep and reactive. I enjoyed the narrative, the pacing, and how <spoilers> worked out in a creative way I hadn't expected. The party banter is great and organic, the dialogues feel natural and do a good job at seemlesly incorporating the origin story of choice into them. The choices were hard to make and it was interesting to hear party members reflect on what the protagonist had done. I appreciate there wasn't one option that seemed most correct (looking at 90's RPGs where the longest dialogue option was usually right). Altogether, I got really personally involved as I played and I consider Unavowed one of my all-time favorite games.

Awesome story. Strong performances.

Great story, well-acted. Unavowed hit many of the familiar beats you would want in a point and click adventure game, but none of the puzzles were overly obscure and the nonlinear case-by-case mission structure meant that things never had the chance to stagnate. Each puzzle was tied to the specifric location and flowed logically from the events of the story and the background of the crime being investigated. There was an economy of storytelling that suggested a deep and engaging background without spending too much time having the plater read in-game lore scrolls or listen to expository data dumps. The actual plot was great with several swerves to the narrative that I didnt see coming, even if some of the actual cases ended up feeling like a bit of a Dresden Files rough draft. The game played well. The graphics are not going to take anyone's breath away, but they convey the mood and characters well enough.
