Great story & great adventure

This adventure is absolutely first class: story & storytelling are amazing and satisfying. The dialogs are first class and the speach is highly professional. The whole investigation is suprisingly engaging and drive you deeper and deeper: and I'm easily bored. I can't comment on the length, but I've spent a few hours, and still on first episode so, for now, I think is fine. So, why not 5 stars? A few points: * I got frequent crashes. They are not game breaking, but annoying enough. * Some of the puzzle can be solved only if you have completed some "obscure" dialog options, and I can see how can force to use a walktrough in some cases. * I like the graphics, but on big screen you need to play in window mode, or text is barely readable. Overall: raccommended.

Nice one

I can't remember when I had so much fun playing an adventure game. It may be short for some, but it didn't bother me at all.

Improves between games

The bundle is four games, a little uneven in length: 2-5 hours each, also affected by how long you take to figure stuff out or stumble into progress. They start as decent amateur job you might find not quite worth charging for, but they definitely improve as the series goes on - in UI and engine, art-style and acting. Also in the games' favour, it's fairly easy to follow their logic, so you shouldn't be stuck too often or for too long. This is in no small part thanks to ditching the plague of point-and-click games: cleptomania and bottomless pockets. The puzzles are for the most part about information rather than items; for instance, you talk to someone who name-drops a company, you look up the company's address, pay them a visit and ask your questions, getting nowhere. So you get your ghost sidekick to look for something you can use as leverage to pressure them for more information, which you combine with another clue to arrive at an important conclusion. This might not be exactly the chain than happens in the games, but it should give you the idea of how you progress in the series. Overall a decent purchase, but four stars is still a tiny bit forgiving.

Short

My biggest complaint about this series is its length. Each game was about an hour long and that is exploring every possibility. I liked the premise, but the game is way too short. If they were all combined I might be more forgiving. However, as it stands, the games in this series are not worth this price. I give this four stars because it is original and somehow, I really enjoyed the game. It's not something I could recommend to other gamers, though, as it's not really that great. It's a cult classic.

Memorable and impactful

I had such a great time with this bundle! Memorable to say the least! Memorable characters, memorable story, and memorable locations. The fact that some characters and locations are taken from real life makes this even more interesting! Especially Joe Gould and the bar he used to frequent, the Minetta Tavern, which is now on my bucket list. The voice acting, though not on a Mark Hamill level, is well beyond average, and after some getting used to, it became one with the overall feeling of the game. Watch the trailer and judge for yourself. The writing of the plot and the characters was so impactful that I cared even for many of the minor characters, despite the sound recording problems mentioned in the commentary, and that's saying a lot. We are playing with two protagonists, one ghost and one living. The ghost can do some things the living can't, and vice versa. An interesting dynamic to say the least. Joey Mallone, the ghost from the 1930s is present in all games/chapters, as one of the two protagonists. The living one is mostly Rosa Blackwell. In the second game/chapter we are playing with a different person from the Blackwell family. Initially I didn't want to leave Rosa, having been acquainted to her throughout the fist game, and then I I didn't want to leave the other character and return to Rosa. THAT's how good the characters are written. If you begin to play this and you like it from the first chapter, you're in for a ride, as it keeps getting better and better! Therefore I strongly suggest that you grab the final chapter (the Blackwell Epiphany, which is sold separately) whenever there is a discount, even if you are not yet finished with this bundle. You won't regret it!
