    Had this one on my whishlist quite some time before I bought it. It is a mixture of a light point and click adventure a graphic novel and some first person adventure. Really liked the characters, the plot and the constant mystery.

    a good game, with an excellent premise. just wish it had a bit more bit more Budget, a sequel with different characters would be great.

    I want to start off by saying I do like the idea of the game. It is totally playable and most of the puzzling/detective work is relatively enjoyable. The combat I found a pointless addition, with the game often straining the plot to include it. The first person segments are a neat novelty at first, but also feel a bit underdeveloped. Overall though, this is a narrative forward game where the narrative simply isn't…
