[Manhunter71]

The game arrived from Play a couple of days ago, and so far I'm pretty happy with my purchase.

I was worried because I had seen some negative reviews, mainly regarding the story and gameplay.

There has only been one murder so far, and it doesn't seem like game events are progressing too quickly - I've done a fair bit of exploring and talked to loads of people.

The one thing that has impressed me the most has to be the voice acting - I was expecting it to be as bad as the monotone voices in "Legacy - Dark Shadows" & "TMOS", but I was pleasantly surprised.
The voice acting wasn't award winning obviously, and some of the voices did seem a little flat, but in retrospect it's probably the best voice acting in an adventure I have heard for a good few years

Enjoy yourself. I had a lot of fun with this game.

I thought the story was great (of course!) and the gameplay all right. It's a pretty good adaptation, but they obviously had to cut some corners in production. My main complaint is that I wish the characters moved around a bit more. Didn't seem natural to me that they'd just stand around after a murder, waiting for Narracott to walk around and question them each one by one.

From what I've heard in the demo the voices don't beat Still Life's, just thought I'd say that for some reason Anyway, enjoy!

That's pretty much what ruined the game for me. It was a major annoyance.

Is this game point and click?

Yes.

Well, the voices and the story are top-quality. The architecture of the mansion (Wright "inspired") too.

The negative reviews had more to do with the way the game plays... Anyway. You will enjoy it I believe.
