Gaslamp Cases: The deadly Machine
Gaslamp Cases: The Deadly Machine:
The year is 1882 and you are one of the most reputable detectives in London. You and your partner have been sent to a location where suspicious activity has been noticed. As you both look for clues, the building you find yourselves in explodes with extreme ferocity. You somehow manage to find your way out of the rubble, but there is no sign of your partner and his body is never recovered. This event takes a massive toll on the people of London, who now question the efficacy of the police department. Soon after, having been blamed for the death of your partner, you are demoted, although still part of the police force. You are assigned a new partner who has, shall we say, unethical methods of solving crimes. Your first investigation is to find the dog of one of the most prominent people in London. But then you find yourself on the trail of a criminal who wants to blow London to pieces, in Gaslamp Cases: The Deadly Machine.

Another fun e-funsoft match 3 game! Nothing spectacular and the story is okay at best, but it's all the standard stuff with better graphics.

## The Thought Police Hotline: Episode 1
[Follow Far2close - Visual Novel Playthroughs Curator Page](https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34294631/)
The Thought Police Hotline: Episode 1
Developer: Voonle
Publisher: Voonle
**Pros:**
1\. The story does keep its merits as sci-fi with interesting inclusions such as the government taking over privacy and tracking emotions, calls, and other activities. I could see the inspirations if this was inspired by Minority Report or the anime series PSYCHO-PASS, or just the outlook on real life itself.

## Captivity
To who ever made this game: Thank you. Thank you for the creation of this distasterpiece. I no longer have doubts for my own video game that I am creating at this time. I no longer have doubts about the future of my career as a video game designer due to this game being so hilariously bad, so awful, boring, needlessly hard, and unfair. I love this. I love the entertainment I have gotton out of this game. It's so fascinating that this game was actually created with the same game program I messed around with when I was about 12 years old, First Person Shooter Creator (FPSC). This game has given me and my friends such great laughs, the incompetence is amazing. I absolutely love this game because it's so far down the barrel it fell through the damn thing.

It's another one of those "Hey! I can make a 'game' with a simple game making program and put it up for money" situation here with Captivity.
Being developed obviously from FPS Creator, there is no effort put in this game whatsoever. There are a lot of instances of loading, which makes the whole thing tedious as anything can be. There's also a ton of glitches and crashes throughout the game. I came across several during my playthrough.
The game isn't really fun. The enemies can kill you in one hit and there isn't much in terms of completing objectives except find keys and unlock doors. There's also one enemy type and the variety is non-existent. It's also really hard to see anything due to the graphics used here.

## Criminal T
This game has potential, the investigation mechanics are what hooked me to this game. But unfortunately, the investigation parts are overshadowed by unresponsive controls, a low sense of direction, and unnecessarily frustrating driving controls. I believe that this game should receive a patch.

## The Headsman
[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1409840/Aztec_Empire/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1409840/Aztec_Empire/)
Take on the role of a war veteran forced into becoming an executioner. Once you've served long enough, you'll be set free and allowed to leave town. But no one told you when that will happen…
You never thought of pursuing torture as a valid career choice, but as they say: work is work. Besides, you know that in addition to forcing confessions, you'll sometimes get more interesting contracts like staking the skull of a dead man accused of vampirism. And that's definitely some variety.
Find out what it's like to be an executioner who is open to bribes. Enemies of the hanged man will try to bribe you to use a short rope and prolong the victim's suffocation. Or maybe the family of a woman condemned to death by crushing will want to ease her suffering for an appropriate fee. Will you accept or will you refuse?
Be indifferent to screams, pleas, begging and assurances of innocence. This isn't kindergarten - it's an old forge fashioned into a torture chamber. And here, you are the master. You rule and divide… mostly through dismemberment.
Carry out punishment, behead commoners and nobility alike. But remember! Each execution must be carried out to the letter, otherwise you face an angry crowd and dissatisfied authorities who may be out for your blood.

## Puzzle Agent 2
Warning: Spoiler Alert…
I've never had so many mixed feelings about the implementation of a game as I have this one...
The game is obviously a sequel to the original 'Puzzle Agent' and literally carries on where that one left off. Certain events were left unanswered in the original, such as what did the 'Hidden People' want with Ed Davis? And where is he now? Though the Scoggins eraser factory has reopened and Agent Tethers has been taken off the case officially, his curiosity of wanting those questions answered gets the better of him and takes it upon himself to take some vacation time and return to Scoggins to do some personal investigation.

Puzzle Agent 2 is a game marred by plot inconsistencies and an unsatisfying story. While the characters and atmosphere pull the player in, the gameplay and story problems are overwhelming.
After competing Puzzle Agent 1, I was excited to play the sequel. Unfortunately, this game doesn't hold up. The story has suffered, as the overloaded plot crashes and burns in a chaotic confusion, leaving plothole debris everywhere. A list of which includes:
! * Agent Tethers keeps his job at the FBI despite returning to a case without authorization; breaking and entering into the local police department; tampering with government evidence; assaulting another government agent; espousing conspiracy theories to his superior; and stealing and destroying government property.

## The List
"The List" is a mystery game where you search and watch video clips from a police database in an attempt to solve a cold murder case.
The mechanics are very similar to "Her Story". You have access to a database of video clips showing the answers of a crime victim during several interrogation sessions in a police department. You can search this database by entering single words, and the database will show you the first 5 clips in which the person uttered that word. Finding new clips gives you new ideas for search terns, such as the names of people or places. As you find more and more clips, your understanding of the case grows, though you still have to do a lot of interpretation and deductive reasoning (partly because you don't have access to the policeman's questions). What's nice and really helpful, is that each clip you have viewed will automatically be added to a timeline, where you can rewatch clips in their correct chronological order.
*– [Real player with 10.8 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198025309409)*
The List is another addition to the FMV mystery search type, where the player has to piece together a set of clips to ultimately solve the mystery surrounding the main character. If you liked games like "Telling Lies" and "Her Story" this is for you.
The design of the game itself follows those games in which you have some limited case information, a database, a search function and a series of videos of a one sided interrogation to piece together. This was decently done, with a few hiccups in it's search terms (There was a typo in one of the clips) or the general vagueness of terms, where words might have a tense that you must acknowledge otherwise no results can show. I felt that maybe the developer could have changed some of the terms for a few of the clips.
