I remembered this game after a long time after watching Wicked. The story is so good! It's a pretty good game for it's time and I highly recommend this to anyone who loves point and click games AND wizard of oz!
Despite some graphical glitches I experienced, I absolutely enjoyed my time with this game. Truly a gem and an easy recommendation for fans of the genre!
Love the game even though it's an old one. (note: the game will crash a few times but it's an old game so i don't mind)
A pretty good point-and-click adventure set in the world of Oz. It does a great job of dropping you into the middle of this richly imagined world. There's some memorable character interactions, and the game contains a very good hint system.
My main complaint would be that sometimes the scenes and dialogues seem to drag a bit, especially if you explore every dialog option. I feel like the beginning half of the game is stronger than the end.
I ran it with Windows 95 compatibility to eliminate a visual issue with the mouse cursor.
Played a demo for this as a kid, but never got to play it. Happy I finally got the chance, I very much enjoyed it!
A rare gem ;) ;)
This game will surprise you with impeccable dialog (in writing and in voice acting!) a fair price for an amazing adventure. Petra is a fascinating, well thought out character to pilot, and all the faces you meet along the way are added in an imaginative way. Love how they transform AND stay true to the Oz world!
Music is fitting, and the game doesn't waste your time. Wish I could find more games like this (let me know if you've got any!) Pioneer on!
Love the game, have played it twice through. I actually purchased this game a long time ago on another platform. When I found it on Steam, I purchased it again since I did not have access to the previous purchased game. It is really fun and quirky. The characters are neat, the story line is fun, and of course the Oz world is what makes this game the most enjoyable. For the price, this game is worth it and I know I will eventually play it again in the future just because.
Whispers of Oz: A Noir Tale in Emerald City Confidential™
A Darkly Whimsical Beginning
In the smoky haze of Emerald City’s veins,
Where shadows dance and intrigue reigns,
A noir adventure unfolds with grit,
Emerald City Confidential, a tale that won’t quit.
Quick Take:
Oz transformed, a city of deceit,
Where charm and danger entwine on the street.
Petra, our guide, fierce and bold,
Navigates a labyrinth where secrets unfold.
The Heart of a Detective
With a fedora tipped low, and a glint in her eye,
She hunts for justice where shadows lie.
Her heart heavy with stories, her mind sharp as glass,
In a world cloaked in darkness, she dares to surpass.
Encounters in the Emerald City
The Tin Man laments with a heart full of rust,
His sorrow echoes, deep-rooted in trust.
Once full of dreams, now burdened by fate,
In the alleys of Emerald, he carries his weight.
The Lion, a lawyer, with charm like a blade,
Wields his words like weapons, yet truth starts to fade.
His suave demeanor hides a heart of despair,
In this gritty metropolis, trust is rare.
Tales of Woe and Whimsy
Each character’s pain is a story untold,
In the alleys of Emerald, their fates controlled.
From Glinda’s sweet smile that masks her intent,
To the Wicked Witch’s layers, dark and bent.
Witty banter crackles, sharp as a knife,
Revealing the scars that shape their life.
The dialogue sings with a darkly humorous flair,
A blend of sorrow and wit, hanging in the air.
Emerald City Confidential is a masterclass profound,
Its writing sharp, with insights unbound.
An engaging narrative, charm wrapped in woe,
Leaves a lasting impression, a soft, haunting glow.
A Visual Masterpiece
The art, a feast, a haunting delight,
Emerald glimmers, yet shadows ignite.
A visual wonder, where each scene is a dance,
Drawing you deeper into its alluring trance.
The city pulses, alive with despair,
Each corner a whisper, each glance a snare.
Echoes of laughter mix with cries for help,
In a world where lost dreams hide and dwell.
Trials and Tribulations
Petra’s resolve is tested, her heart a fierce flame,
As she navigates danger, she plays the game.
The stakes are personal, the risks ever real,
In a world where betrayal cuts deep like steel.
Yet some may find bugs that disrupt the flow,
Glitches that hinder the story’s glow.
Underutilized areas may leave you bereft,
A longing for more, a sense of what’s left.
Backtracking required can feel like a chore,
Though walk speeds adjust to ease the bore.
Unresolved side quests linger like ghosts,
Echoes of narratives that haunt and boast.
A Tapestry of Emotion
But the experience, a masterpiece of emotion,
A captivating blend of charm and commotion.
Emerald City shines, a gem in the night,
With a narrative depth that feels so right.
Outstanding voice acting lifts each scene high,
Performances genuine, making hearts fly.
Beautiful art design, a vibrant display,
Crafts an atmospheric world where shadows play.
Emerald City Confidential—a gem to behold,
A narrative rich, a tapestry of gold.
Its haunting conclusion, bittersweet yet bright,
Leaves you with hope as you step into the light.
The Secrets Await
Step into its streets, let its secrets unfurl,
In this world of wonder, a hidden pearl.
For in every twist lies a truth to embrace,
In the heart of Oz, a timeless space.
Conclusion: A Journey Through Shadows
So heed the call of this darkened quest,
Where shadows whisper, and hearts are put to the test.
As you follow Petra through the night’s embrace,
Remember, every choice shapes this intricate place.
For within this tale of charm and of woe,
Lies the essence of life, in its ebb and flow.
Emerald City calls, not just to explore,
But to find in each heart what we’re searching for.
With friendship and courage, let your spirit take flight,
In a city of dreams, where wrongs can turn right.
Through shadows we wander, through light we will roam,
In the depths of Emerald, we’ll find our way home.
cute game enjoyed the story wish there was a continuation
Fun take on The Wizard of Oz world
Hammer Story, Gameplay mostly talk, but for Oz-fans a must. Best final for an adventure after Indy in Atlantis
If your familiarity with the franchise is solely the classic wizard of oz movie, be aware you'll be a tad confused with the whole host of characters that show up with minimal introduction. Emerald city Confidential works off prior knowledge involving the wizard of oz book series, namely The Emerald City of Oz (1910).
There are characters that play a pivotal role such as the phantasms, Ruggedo, Ozma, and general Jinjur. So, if you're purchasing this game with the prospect of interacting solely with Dorothy and her trio of pals you might be a tad disappointed. Albeit this title does play into the political dynamics of the book series, so having it be a noir point and click detective game makes complete sense.
The main character Petra herself is quite likable, she easily comes up with retorts and quips to the loopholes in character’s stories and gets straight to the point. Throughout the game you’ll easily see how despite her cold front, the detective is quite kind hearted.
There are some technical errors in Emerald Confidential such as when you try playing this game full screen it glitches out badly. Beyond simple mistakes that obviously are a byproduct of its age, I’d highly recommend this title if you’re a fan of the book series, but also would like to see a dark interpretation of Wizard of oz that isn’t complete nightmare fuel.
All in all, Emerald City Confidential is a love letter to the Wizard of Oz franchise. Would highly recommend this hidden gem.
