Plenty of unusual characters are staying here, not to mention ...  Read the complete review

Let me just start by saying that if you're looking for a decent adventure game, you will be disappointed with this game. While it does contain a variety of puzzles, the vast majority of them are simplistic, making the game rather easy overall. It seems to be more of a visual novel than an adventure game. Having said that, it is a fantastic visual ...  Read the complete review

I loved this type of game on the pc as a teenager so I thought I would give it a go. The story was very immersive for a handheld and it worked really well on the DS system with the touch screen. The pencil drawn style of the characters really suited the story which I think is the best on a ds game. Personally I really liked holding the DS like ...  Read the complete review

I love story / detective games and was really looking forward to playing this on the DS. It wasn't quite what I am used to within this genre of game. Most of the game play is taken up speaking to characters and there is a lot less object interaction for solving puzzles than you usually get. This said the game graphics for a handheld ...  Read the complete review

This game starts slow, and in the first stages of it you even wonder why you bothered starting another graphic novel. But it will build up and up, and the closer to the core of the mystery you get, the less willing you'll be to put it down for another time. December 27, 1979. It starts with an animated intro movie, narrated with ...  Read the complete review
