Short but solid puzzle game that leverages wiki pages to investigate a generations long mystery in a remote slavic coded country.

Enjoyed every click in this early 90s coded pixellated UI

A missing persons mystery set in a rural Victorian town. I had a lot of fun playing this. I would say the only downside being it's very short, we could have perhaps had a few more different investigative paths to follow, although I don't know how well that would fit in the timeline.

Solid puzzle game, where you've been hired to investigate a missing woman at a séance held at a remote manor in the Irish moorlands

It's a first person point and click mystery, where you investigate the people in the manor. Partially voiced, it has some excellent voice acting, and presented in a pulp comic book drawn style.

There's a 'time' mechanic involved which lets you spend a 'minute' at a time to do a particular investigation/conversation, and you have effectively two days to fully solve the mystery.

Travel does not cost time, nor does revisiting previously investigated points, so you're not punished for reviewing info.

It took me 18hrs to finish, and I took my time, and there were occasional moments where I was truly at a loss of what to do next, but for the most part, I highly enjoyed this mystery.

It's spooky but not scary, and an excellent Halloween game, filled with a broad variety of guests and staff, who all have their own agenda around this séance

Solid gameplay, combat is very customisable, and later game has abilities that make it much easier. Puzzles are very well done, with minimal prompting but still enough information to solve without too much trouble. Locations are all varied and interesting. Could do with perhaps a wider variety of enemies.

It was nice to play a game where there wasn't a looming deadline or end event pushing you. You can take your time to explore and solve mysteries and help people out. Not having a directly fightable antagonist meant for a much better story.

The story and lore are respectfully deep, and worth tracking down, the comprehensive news articles at the end were a good reward for finding all the relevant artefacts

Solid gameplay loop, something I keep coming back to for a mission, cause it's always fun

A fun game of plant identification and puzzle solving, with a darker plot underlying

Didn't really like this game, I think the issue I had with it was the complete lack of any indicator of progress. There was no way to see how far through the game you were, any progression from one phase to the next was as unintuitive as the previous.

I just felt I was walking through an endless series of scenes, with no concept of how far along I was progressing, if at all.

Not so much an adventure game, but a procedural based mystery solving game. Still, beautiful imagery, intruiging concepts and some out of the world ideas.
