Steam review snapshots
However, there were case files with clues for stuff you encountered.You explore different areas, click on objects to find clues, and talk to people to get information.Lots of fun, short and sweet, very, very immersive while you're playing!If this series continues in the same trajectory, the third game will have even greater scope and emotional range.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure filtered by weird, single-player.
