GOOD AND DEEP STORY, SIMPLE BUT FUN, EVERYTHING IS GOOD
I have actually played this game when it was first released and I am delighted to have see it again, this time here on Steam. Although I must admit that the game kinda shows its age, in terms of the less than ideal resolution compared to the games that we play now, I still think that the charm of its storytelling and its design are still there. I am glad to be playing this game again and hopefully, Playfirst would still continue to do some updates to minimise the bugs in the game.
Really wanted to play, but as others have pointed out, continuous crashes make it impossible to assess the gameplay.
The credits claim that it runs on Mac but I can't get it to start at all. A message pops up saying that a plug in is missing that the developer hasn't updated. It basically crashes my system and I have to restart to get out of it.
crashes constantly. its unplayable.
Game continually crashes. So, cannot play.
Easy to play, standard point and click style of game & finished it in a night - provides enough entertainment to justify purchasing it.
UPDATED REVIEW: Unless you have a very old operating system (I'm talking from the late 2000s/early 2010s), this game doesn't work anymore. I've tried on the last few Windows (11, 10, and 8), and macOS from 10.6 to 11 (Snow Leopard to Monterey). It works on Macs until 10.9 (Mavericks). But these systems are very old and out of date, so unless you're still using those, don't buy this game. It won't work on any current operating system.
Original Review: Valerie Porter. A 1920s woman who desires to be a star reporter. When she achieves her dream, she gets more than she bargained for. Murder, political scandals, and the mob are just some of the things our intrepid, plucky heroine investigates in her search for her next story.
I'm a fan of search-and-find games like this, so I had to buy it. I wasn't disappointed. The gameplay is excellent, if not very challenging. The objects aren't too hard to find, especially since you can view a silhouette of the object. The ability to recharge your hints through linking items, finding batteries, and a train/trolley ride every level is great, though I rarely needed to use the hints myself. The puzzles throughout the game are not too challenging either.
The graphics are superb. The backgrounds and the items are all detailed and good-sized, so there's no pixel-hunting. These areas are photo-realistic. The characters are more cartoonish, but still very well-drawn. The scenes in between that further the story are even more comic-like, but not in a terrible way.
Overall, I really enjoyed this game. The plot, graphics, and gameplay were excellent. Though not very challenging, it's good if you just want to have fun and enjoy a game without having to struggle. I highly recommend this game to any fan of search-and-find games, anyone who enjoys a good mystery, or anyone who just wants to play a fun, yet simple, game.
My rating is 9.5/10
Nice little "find the item" game.
