The Raven

Nice old point and click. Took 10 hours to play. Agatha Christie story rip-off, but the characters were fun and the artwork lovely. The hotspot highlight tool did not help at all - impossible to see the highlight. But I really didn't need it, as the game was very easy. There was one puzzle in the Cairo museum that needed walkthrough help. First half you play as a Swiss policeman. Second half as a an Egyptian thief. Takes place on the Orient Express, a cruise ship from Venice to Cairo, and an Eqyptian museum.

A good game which dared to be different, it was humorous and fun to play, the voice acting was above average and you felt like you were in a movie. We had to use the hot spot hint once because we didn't look properly, but everything was solvable. A good Adventure game worth playing.

Brilliant game. Very nice story, high quality animation, map design, soundtrack and real voice acting. Really recommend this for all point & click lovers. Encountered a couple of annoying bugs but the rest 99% is pure gold.

This one was an enjoying and relaxing game - with a couple twists I did not expect!

It's pretty good!

It has aged a little already, having a little janky vibe - but it's all very serviceable. It has the feel of the indie point and click adventure, and definitely respect for it being fully voiced - and the VA is rather ok.

Mechanics wise, this is less of a detective game (there's not really any deducing or detective mechanics) and more of a classical point and click - and it's an ok one. Some of the solutions are a little weird, or very specific, but nothing too crazy.

The weird part is the scoring system - not sure why and for whom. But what it also does is that you have to "pay" for highlighting interactables - which is such a weird thing to do. Even if you don't care about some silly score, it is an instant detraction of it (and the highlight is pretty bad). That, combined with the fact that there is some amount of pixel hunting, is probably the biggest gripe I have. It was unnecessary to follow this old school adventure game trope - only to a detriment.

But other than that - it was actually an interesting story to follow. It might seem like it's just yet another whodunnit with a mediocre story, but it actually keeps things somewhat interesting and definitely surprises at the end: in a good way, not a crappy one (as the game even jokes about in one of the dialogues, very self-aware).

I think it's a nice entry for someone liking point and click adventures, and an interesting mystery story - despite some small mechanical flaws.

Excellent story and voice acting. It was a lot of fun going back and seeing how everything had happened and then seeing it all wrap up in the end. As with some point and click games, some of the puzzle solutions felt a bit ridiculous or had me looking for things that were so small and I could not have found them without a little extra help (the fire extinguisher to get the chair leg in chapter 1 for example. Or all of dealing with the axe) but! It is what it is and I’m willing to chalk that up to me just not getting things.
TLDR very fun, loved the story.

I had to replay bits because a few bugs (and 1-2 incidents where it was not actually bugged but just particular about click order, even if the order should not matter logically). However these were not game-breaking to me, although I do recommend keeping up with saves every so often. Overall it was a charming adventure with some story twists I had not expected. Recommend to fans of this setting and genre, I will definitely check out more from this studio!
