I have never been one for detective games, but The Sinking City is really scratching an itch and forcing me to use my brain more (mostly in a good way). I do need to seach things time to time when I hit the wall to hard, and have trouble with the combat (nott he games fault), but overall I find it...a good overall horror detectibe experience.

Time to go to sleep though. The latest boss battle took me far too long to do...

The Séance of Blake Manor was good, but still harbor the two core issues plaguing detective games:

  • stuff your character understands (and solve) before you do and, worse,
  • stuff you understand before your character (and then must painfully find the game designer's intended way to solve a mystery you've already figured out).

Still, those are very hard issues for the genre, and the game is pleasant enough and well written despite them.
