A problematic prelude
As the panel on the right suggests, this game is a part of the Still Life series. The very first part, in fact. This time, you play P.I. and amateur artist Gustav Mcpherson, (granddaddy of Victoria from later installments), and you're after a vicious murderer in gloomy old 1920 - somnething Paris. The good part - Very strong mood, the setting looks very modern and monumental, also mysterious and dark. The graphics on the background are atmospheric and well done. The lentgh of the game (at least for me) is ideal for an adventure. The story itself starts out really well. The clues you collect slowly unfolds the reasons behind the guesome crime... The bad part - ...and in some weird twists, it just shoots itself off from the ground of reality, which takes away from the enjoyment. But the real problems are with the game mechanics. All things that SHOULD NOT be present in a point'n'click adventure game are in here. Pixelhunting, some timed events, endless dialogue trees, too easy and way too obscure puzzles, which makes the difficulty curve look like a rollercoaster. Final thoughts - definitely not a bad game, I think for the atmosphere alone it worths playing it though once, but just in case, keep a walkthough near. Without it, the game might provide more frustration than satisfaction.
