Winter’s Trumpet
A lovely addition to the series, and best read after completing the first game (Asher), to better understand the characters and setting. Great art, music, and atmosphere, as per usual. Was also very nice to see the character you’d least expect allow himself to be somewhat vulnerable.

Winter’s Trumpet is a charming and short point-and-click/visual novel hybrid with a retro design and a slightly creepy atmosphere. It takes place in the same world as Asher and Tell a Demon, and players who love these games have absolutely nothing to lose by giving it a go: in fact, the events of Winter’s Trumpet take place before those depicted in Asher, and the former gives us an interesting look at the motivations of several key characters of the series. For people who haven’t played the dev’s other games, beginning with Winter’s Trumpet isn’t the best way to go, in my opinion, since it’s short and the story is a bit vague if you’re not already aware of what the main plotlines are.

Adam Wolfe
Adam Wolfe is a hybrid between Hidden Object and Adventure genres. You play as a paranormal investigator that has to solve 4 strange cases.
Gameplay:
In this game you control the eponymous Adam Wolfe, a private detective that solves other people’s problems, whilst trying to look for his missing sister. The core gameplay is solving puzzles and looking for useful items that are hidden within the game world. Most puzzles are very simple, and can be solved within a minute, yet there are a few ones that can take longer to figure out. I was very surprised by the amount of interaction within the game - you are in control of almost everything. For example: using the fire extinguisher doesn’t just consist of “combining” it with flames, you also need to manually spray it to extinguish the ongoing flames one by one. It’s a very welcome change from all the “stiff” HOGs that I’ve played before.

Overall Rating: 8.5/10
Really interesting HOPA, fairly unique in the more Narrative driven game, with a decently good story. A bit odd for some people perhpas, dark and occult themed. But I really enjoyed the blood, violence, occulty theme and bizzare goings on, and hideous demon type characters.
Definitely not for kids. No nudity, but the subject matter is not light-hearted, and the story does have a somewhat somber ending. People sensitive to paranormal, occult, dark themes that invlove violence, blood, death (lots of death), simulated gunfire and demonic energies… yeah. May not be for you.

Blackwell Epiphany
Rosangela Blackwell is a struggling author living in New York, and a medium. Enter Joey Mallone, a ghost and spirit guide tied to the female members of the Blackwell family. When Rosa’s aunt, Lauren Blackwell, passes after being in a coma for decades, Joey is ‘released’ from Lauren and enters Rosa’s life. Details are revealed throughout the five installments of the Blackwell series regarding the female members of the Blackwell family, how Joey came to be, what happened to Aunt Lauren to trap her in a comatose state, etc. Together, Rosa and Joey seek out and help tormented ghosts trapped in the physical world cross over to “the other side” throughout the series.

This fifth and final installment, Epiphany, is the culmination of all that the Blackwell series has been building up to. The art has really come into its own after a poor showing in the last game, and a focus on exterior locations has resulted in some truly beautiful backgrounds. Puzzles feel completely natural which could be an effect of the game design changing so little between Epiphany and Deception or simply from the fine tuning done over the past four games.
This is also by far the longest of the Blackwell games. The story focuses on the job ahead of our heroes this time rather than mystery of the duty itself, but still manages to be epic. As a spirit medium, Rosangela is involved in the most important moment of each of these peoples' lives (existences), which is brought home by another string of excellent voice performances. Those individual stories are then woven together to create something that not only hits harder than it ever could have alone but also provides answers to what has become the Blackwell legacy.

Control Ultimate Edition
Control reminds me instantly of a movie called Cube; the same combination of unknowable vastness, existential horror, and quirky earthiness that forces a certain perspective on the great unknown. Those with megalophobia might want to approach this one with caution!
The core plot is somewhat brief if you do none of the ‘side’ missions, but Remedy so artfully weaves the many parallel-yet-separate threads together that you’re sometimes left wondering which you’re on. And that’s a good thing! Control strikes that perfect balance; you’ve plenty of directions to choose from, but it never lets you stray so far you’d lose the plot entirely. Moreover, almost all of the ‘side’ missions provide flavor, depth, and enhancement to the ‘core’ story, not to mention all sorts of abilities and rewards.

“Basic duty of a director is … to keep the lights on”
Fantastic mix of mystery and shooter with a couple of puzzels
In short, the main character is looking for her brother who was taken away by the bureau after some mysterious “oops” leveled their hometown. Unfortunately, the bureau is under attack and the man in charge just blew his brains out. Up to you to save wathever is left standing and find your way inside a complex that throws all sorts of horrors at you.
The setting is really worth exploring. As soon as you enter “the oldest house”, it tries to mess with you. What follows is a mix of “the x-files”, “prey” and a bit of “twin peaks”. Through Video-fragments, voice recordings and notes , the game tells you about the people and what happened to them. The story never looses it’s sense of mystery and although you basically stay in the same house, there"s a lot of diversity in look and feel of the different departments. Btw, the voice (and video) actors are perfect, You can make the game very hard or a walk in the park by adjusting the settings. So whether you want a challenge or are more interested in the story and the sometimes hilarious bits and pieces of info, you’re in charge.

Murdered: Soul Suspect
🚀 Overview
| 👍 Merits | 👎 Flaws |
|
✔️ Meritorious story
✔️ Soul-stirring side quests
✔️ Lots of collectables
✔️ Menacing, fetching atmosphere
|
❌ Broken concept
❌ Shoddy optimization
❌ Mundane character design
❌ Linear gameplay
|
🚪 Introduction
The way Murdered: Soul Suspect expounds the afterworld postulation is very aberrant. I don’t accept the idea of being stuck in limbo until I solve the mystery of my murder or know where my body was buried. What if I wasn’t a detective or was an innocent dumbass? Am I screwed then? Will I be forever roaming the streets as a freak? What about kids? All these unanswered questions flout the paramount aspect of the afterlife that is justice for everyone. I feel like the main concept of the game was built on the protagonist’s case, ignoring everyone around him.

They okayest okay game that ever okayed, and it took me 29 disappointing hours in two gos (played once and stopped halfway because of boredom). I’m kind of upset that they made it only okay, with the great ideas they were working with.
Jokes aside, it’s a lukewarm game made out of a great idea, but it misses the mark in basically every single aspect so much that it’s a perfect 6/10 game.
The basic issue with the game that they try to do everything with collectibles (There are 242 collectibles). To tell you creepypasta/camp fire stories, to solve investigations, to uncover ghost graffities because ghost kids gonna be ghost kids, and also to get information about your beloved past wife, the love of your life…wait what?

2.combat and healing is also boring, you just have to click LMB
3.most enemies are not worth fighting even tho their drops are importand to “beat” the game

Unavowed
What did my demon do this time?!?
It’s just a normal, rainy day in New York City…or that what it should have been. Not only are you getting soaked on a rooftop, but you’re being restrained as a man seems to be reciting something and occasionally hitting you with lightning. There’s no time to ask what landed you in this position since it soon becomes apparent that a demon is currently sharing a body with you. It seems that to get this demon out, you need to remember who you are. Doubling as establishing your backstory, you remember your name, if you’re a female or male, and lastly your origin story (or your occupation). Bringing you out of the demon’s clutches and throwing you right in a flashback to the very day your life turned upside down.

I’m a big fan of games that give you a choice and Wadjet Eye. So when their new game Unavowed came out I didn’t hesitate to buy it. Very seldom do I make uninformed purchasing decisions but I’ve always enjoyed Wadjet’s games and was excited about this simply from the trailer. In Unavowed you’re playing as group of demon hunters, kinda like Ghostbusters, except for all things supernatural and without the matching jumpsuits.
While you normally play a predetermined individual in most adventure games this particular title lets you choose your character, a bit like an RPG. Although don’t be fooled, the RPG similarities are few and far between. You choose your name, gender, occupation then the story plays out like any other adventure title. When you start off your character has what amounts to retrograde amnesia. As you go on different missions and your team grows you uncover more about your shrouded past.
