Call of the Golden Valley

A fun mystery in a gorgeous rural Aussie setting! I enjoyed piecing the story together -- the puzzles weren't too challenging, but I did get stumped a couple of times (in a good way). My favourite part of the game was the strong sense of place; from the backdrop, to the music, to the soundscapes, it felt truly authentic. A great rainy day game!

Charming mystery that absolutely nails the Aussie setting, from the flora and fauna to the characters who felt endearing in their own quirky, unmistakably local way. The central mystery is really clever and I've never have seen anything like the unique online sleuthing puzzles. Easy recommendation for mystery fans.

Fun little detective game. Wish it was a bit longer, but it's an enjoyable 3ish hours

For a first game from these developers, I was pretty impressed. I was drawn to the game for the "conspiracy" board, and it was pretty good. The puzzles weren't super difficult but did involve some thinking. I enjoyed the internet sleuthing part, it was really well done. That being said, the game is VERY short. A lot of strings were left untied and some questions never answered. I believe this is on purpose and relates to the ending. Although I enjoyed the game, the price is double what it should be and the screen tearing is still an issue. Overall I would recommend the game if you manage to find it on sale! I hope this studio releases another game!

Loved this game! It had a mystery that was fun to solve and left me wondering what happened to Marisa. It reminds me of old school Nancy Drew and I love that about it! For sure worth playing!

I appreciate most of this game had going for it but I was left with a feeling of "Oh. Is that it?" towards the climax. It does teach you the valuable lesson that the police are unable/unwilling to help you, regardless of where in the world you are.

This was an easy day one purchase for me. As a fan of the Nancy Drew mystery series I am always looking for games to scratch that first-person mystery itch and Call of the Golden Valley has not disappointed! I have not completed the game yet, but I'm enjoying it immensely. Really hoping there will be more games in this series! As others have said, the voice acting is phenomenal and makes the story very immersive. 5/5!
