The narrative is told in an interesting way, with lots of visual interpretation and foreshadowing, even though this game only clocks in at two hours or so. It’s helped considerably by the hand drawn art style that gives everything an almost…

Each day Lorena heads to work, chats to the locals, and heads home. Before long though, she finds out that young women have been disappearing from the area. In fact the position she fills at the store is only as a result of her predecessor…

Puzzles were equally frustrating as well, but not due to them being difficult as such. It’s often fairly obvious that combining something acidic with a padlock will allow you to open a door. The annoyance comes from how difficult it is to…

I love ducks. I love salami. Clearly, Duck Detective: The Secret Salami has somehow hit a weird cross section of things that I am interested in. This narrative-driven detective game has you becoming the Duck Detective, who has run out of…
