How it feels

A deliberate and cerebral detective experience that feels like piecing together clues in a foggy Victorian London, with a heavy emphasis on reading and deduction over action.

What players say

Players praise the cheesy 90s FMV charm and theatrical acting, but warn the mystery relies on a leap of logic and the game is very short. Split on its value: some enjoy the deduction, others find the interface obtuse and the fixed 4:3 resolution dated.
