Lamplight City

A wonderful surprise! It's smooth and super entertaining. The fact that everything is a possibility with a different outcome gives the game tons of flavor, my first run was a complete disaster and I immediately started a new one, revisiting everything and hoping for a better outcome. And I still want to know what would happen if I made different choices now that I got both the very very bad ending and a perfect run. I'll definitely return to Lamplight City to search for alternate timelines.

Neat little who-dun-it, story is well written. not really your classic adventure game, more of an interactive story. it has a few dead ends if you're not paying attention and following all the leads. some of your actions have some effect on the narrative. Was a good story, gameplay is approximately 8-10 hours, none of the puzzle are illogical or difficult,

I enjoy mystery games, and the world-building in this one is enjoyable. There are a few too many ways to soft-lock yourself out of solving cases, so I had to restart from scratch more often than I'd have wished to. The cases do, however, more or less proceed on rails, and given the nature of your relationship with the main character's wife, I wish there had been more freedom of choice about "go to the bar" or "don't go to the bar," etc. Still, an enjoyable game, worth picking up on sale.
