Déjà Vu: MacVenture Series

Very good old school legit game. Difficult in a good way for me at least.

Déjà Vu is a fascinating relic from the very early days of point-and-click adventures. You wake up in a bar restroom with no memory and must piece together who you are and what happened — all while navigating a desktop-style interface built from several separate windows that can be moved and resized. The pacing is harsh by modern standards: instant deaths, trial-and-error and frequent reloads are part of the experience. Yet the game’s structure is logical, its atmosphere is excellent and the window-based interface is far more coherent than it first appears. It feels both ahead of its time and completely isolated from the direction the genre later took. I can’t say I loved the cliché noir plot, but the design is clever and the historical value of playing this on its original terms is surprisingly rewarding. An unusual retro experience — and worth it if you’re curious about where graphic adventures began.

Amazing - more realistic and difficult than the Broken Sword series. This game should be remade.

👍

I got this for the nostalgia. But I couldn't get very far to really feel it. The controls are difficult to use and I'm left wondering what to do or get things going. It's hard to get into. At least I tried.

Honestly, I find this title irritating. I haven't played the original version to know how accurate the emulation is, but it's a bit fiddly managing the various windows (inventory/contents of a specific item) on top of remembering things like "OPEN" a person to search their body(???). Furthermore, the game starts with an unspoken time limit where you just lose if you take too long, and there are screens where you just lose if you don't know what to do, or - in one instance - if you just walk into the area. I also had to replay the ending three times to get a window configuration where I could read the whole ending, vs. it being covered up by a different window, and the "Click to Continue" option prevents me from moving anything once the ending is triggered (continuing proceeds to a silly "Game Completion" certificate). I get it's a classic title, but I don't really like it. Can't recommend that much. Maybe the only advantages of this version are save states and the ability to scroll back in the text window to see what happened before (unless the game is already ended).

Awesome story, excellent humor, and clever thought-provoking puzzles. 10/10
