Blues and Bullets
Eliot Ness, the former leader of the legendary Untouchables, wished only to spend the rest of his days working in his diner, not dwelling too much on the cesspit of corruption his city, Santa Esperanza, had degenerated into. But things rarely go as planned. When children suddenly start to disappear and the police just simply a blind eye, Eliot decides to take the law into his own hands, track down the culprit and bring him to justice by any means necessary, even if he has to abandon his dreams of a peaceful life and again get embroiled in shootouts with the usual array of assassins and hoodlums. Helped by various characters from some unexpected places, the player must guide Eliot through the increasingly morbid and decadent scenarios searching for clues to solve the cases in the five episodes of this season's Blues and Bullets.

Well, it seems like the series has been discontinued, which is too bad. I do hate this episodic format anyway. But I'll still give this a positive review because it was fine as a first episode.
The game is very cinematic, which is both a good and bad thing. The art direction is phenomenal, with the black-white-red color scheme, and the background graphics look great. Certain visual effects, like the rain and the part where the protagonist is walking through text, are quite original and well done. The characters are mostly fine, except for their rigid facial expressions and awkward movements, but that has a sort of nostalgic charm, so it's actually kind of endearing. But there are no camera controls, which is really frustrating when you're walking around. Sometimes you even have to make the protagonist walk toward you, so you have no idea where he's going. Also, bro walks super slow.
The gameplay is extremely easy. It's mostly an interactive movie, which is fine, although the choices seem annoyingly meaningless. The story is okay. I don't think it was a masterpiece, but it was interesting enough and a promising start to a series. Too bad it was never finished, but if you can enjoy a half-finished story, the game is nice enough.
