Engaging, funny, wry, and enjoyable. I finished all three ending scenarios and I have my favourite but they all made me smile. A real joy for a fan of interwar detective/crime fiction.
This is a great, funny Noir adventure. You are a Humphrey Bogart type of private detective and you take on 4 different cases. I did not finish the last one (got stuck!) so I cant speak for the ending but it is a detailed game with a good GUI thats lets you quickly access items and know whats going on. You take cab fares all over LA. There is a good amount of humor and the quests themselves tend to be pretty funny. Also there are many references to pop culture, especially Noir films. If you enjoy the genre or a good text adventure involving mystery, check this game out!
Ich hab das Spiel ausgewählt, da ich den Titel sehr ansprechend fand. Der Titel hat auch auf jeden Fall gehalten, was er verspricht, nämlich als Detektiv Fälle zu lösen. Im Spiel geht es also darum, ausgewählte Fälle durch verschiedene "Puzzleteile" zusammenzufügen und dadurch zu lösen. Am Anfang des Spiels befindet man sich in seinem eigenen Büro als Detektiv. Vor der Tür warten drei verschiedene Personen, deren Fall man annehmen kann.
Das Ziel des Spiels ist also von Anfang an klar, jedoch ist es schwierig dorthin zu kommen, was aber natürlich beabsichtigt ist. Kommt man als Spieler nicht weiter, gibt es die Möglichkeit zu Hints.
I can't give this enough stars. I'm honestly amazed by the fact that it was free to play - it was such a high-quality game! The sound effects, original music, unique interface, stylized portraits and phenomenal scriptwork blew me away. I'm not kidding when I say this game is now sitting right up there with the Her Interactive Nancy Drew games as top-tier armchair detective gaming.
Thank you for what had to have been months of work. Your passion for your craft was evident and very appreciated.
Oh look, a game that manages to capture the elegant simplicity of old text adventures while adding a revolutionary user interface. Did I mention the presentation is top-notch, too? More games need to take a hint from _Detectiveland_.
