Jennifer Wilde: Unlikely Revolutionaries

Great wee adventure game. Wonderful, unique art style and writing. I would highly recommend.

Какая-то детективная история романтизирующая отвратительный стиль жизни французкой богемы. Полагаю, что это скорее женский квест. Сбивает утт огромное количество французких названий и слов. Визуаль приятный, потребителя найдёт. https://youtu.be/F8Rya_7aUfs

I initially gave this a negative review due to mistaking a bug for just awkward controls. After completing the game I’m leaning more positive but I’m still rather lukewarm on the game. Ultimately the biggest problem this game has its utterly breakneck pace; scene transitions can be sometimes be utterly jarring and confusing, none of the characters are allowed to breathe so you barely get to know them, and the game’s tale of 1920's supernatural espionage isn’t allowed to shine due to this compression. Really I feel like the game’s stakes should have been smaller. I’m reminded of the Blackwell Legacy, which is of similar length to this game but in that duration Rosa and Joey were so well fleshed out as characters. Jennifer and Oscar Wilde lack that chemistry and camaraderie. Gameplaywise it’s unremarkable; some of the puzzles are awkward like one of the opening puzzles where you just sic the cops on some random schmo just so you can go the lunch and the controls are a bit weird in that to switch between Oscar and Jennifer you have to click and hold on them. It does get better as the game goes along but the gameplay never really stands out. Really the best thing about the game is the art. To conclude, I don’t regret backing this game, but I still really wouldn’t heartily recommend it. It’s just kind of a meh game in a genre where you can do a lot better, like the aforementioned Blackwell series.

Es un juego muy limitado. La premisa de poder contar con el fantasma de Oscar Wilde parece interesante, pero luego ves que queda totalmente desaprovechada pues no se hace hincapié en su persona u obra. En cuanto a la jugabilidad, es de las aventuras gráficas más limitadas que puedan existir. Todo se reduce a diálogos vacios y una historia que parece que va en alguna dirección pero no. La música tampoco ayuda, pues es inexistente. Una lástima de videojuego pues parecía que tenía potencial.

Lots of suspense and world building packed into a bite-sized story. Some puzzles devolve into randomly trying find the order in which the developers intended me to click things, but how could I not enjoy a game with such a unique concept and art style? Now we have a ghost-detective duo to rival Rosa and Joey from the Blackwell series. I hope they'll be back in the future.

This was a breath of fresh air - A charming, well written tale which captures the age and Wilde's character perfectly. The puzzles require some creative thinking but the action is well paced and the plot well written. I completed in a little over 3hrs 15, but I'm sure longer plays are possible, and the seeds sown in this game are ripe for a sequel !

A very enjoyable point and click mystery game. Loved the settings, loved the story, and loved interacting with Oscar Wilde!
