Post Mortem

Akcja przenosi nas do Paryża lat dwudziestych XX wieku, czyli w okres największej rewolucji kulturalnej, kiedy to nowe odkrycia naukowe zaczęły wypierać magię i okultyzm. Gracz wciela się w rolę amerykańskiego detektywa Gusa Macphersona wynajętego przez tajemniczą piękność w celu odnalezienia zabójcy jej siostry i szwagra. Zostali oni zamordowani w rytualny sposób w ekskluzywnym pokoju hotelowym. Kobieta uważa, że policja prowadzi śledztwo w partacki i nieefektywny sposób, ty graczu musisz odkryć kulisy tej tajemniczej sprawy. Mamy do wyboru którą ścieżkę dialogową wybierzemy, podczas konwersacji z postaciami. Mamy kamerę z pierwszej osoby, mamy mapę, możemy przenosić się w poszczególne miejsca, zbieramy przedmioty, podczas śledztwa, są fajne i ładne bardzo przerywniki filmowe. Jest to przygodówka detektywistczna point and click. Nasza decyzja w kwestii wyboru dialogu, formie przeprowadzanej przez nas rozmowy z postaciami, ma duże znaczenie, postać może nas nie polubić a wtedy nie da nam przedmiotu, i ten przedmiot będzie rozmieszczony w innej lokacji. To zależy jak przeprowadzimy rozmowę. Dzięki zeznaniom świadków możemy stworzyć rysopis mordercy. Będziemy się wcielać w inną postać na krótką chwilę w drugiego detektywa Jackques Hellouin. i będziemy próbowali dowieść jego niewinności, w sprawie morderstwa, zbierając dowody. Zagadki są dosyć trudne, i trzeba poświęcić nie co dużo czasu na to. A naszym głównym podejrzanym w sprawie zabójstw jest psychiatra. Gra ma dwa zakończenia i to zależy jak mu odpowiemy, wybierając odpowiednie ścieżki dialogowe. Gra ma dubbing pl, to się chwali. Gra ma duży irytujący problem, mianowicie jak się nie rozegra tego w odpowiedniej kolejności, po kolei, to można sobie zablokować grę na sam koniec i nie idzie tego w żaden sposób naprawić. Ja takiego problemu nie doświadczyłem, ale słyszałem że taki problem jest w tej grze. Ale gra jest fajna po mimo tego mankamentu grę polecam.

HATE the drawing the suspect ''puzzle'' and hate the holding a candle in front of that stupid painting puzzle even more. But damn that sweet noir, occult atmosphere draws you in so hard you can't help but fall in love with it.

La trama es muy interesante

Not really a bad game, but somewhat unfinished and poorly polished. The farther you go into the game, the less directions you get from it about what to do next, last minute re-writes of the script create bizarre plotholes, stuff like that. Just skip this one and go directly to Still Life where most of these problems were fixed, you won't be missing much. If you loved those enough then come back to try this one last, treat it as a prequel.

Хороший квест

Not the best, but not bad

I played this a long time ago when I had it on CDROM. Man.. Life sure was simpler back then. Anyway, it is a decent adventure game with a fairly run of the mill story, though there are a few twists and turns that occur. At least that's how I remember it. I really just played it today to see how it runs on newer computers. Runs fine, though I kept clicking out of the screen due to having two monitors. I don't know that I'll ever really come back to it. That being said, it's a decent Adventure game that uses a First Person Perspective for a lot of looking around. It certainly feels out-dated at this point, but this game is often fairly cheap and could be a treat if you're a fan of the old adventure titles.

En teoría, tiene todo lo que debería enganchar a un amante del género: un asesinato misterioso, una ambientación noir interesante y un toque de ocultismo. En la práctica, es una experiencia tan torpe, frustrante y poco intuitiva que acaba convirtiéndose en una prueba de paciencia. No hay prácticamente objetos con los que interactuar, los puzzles son arbitrarios y forzados, y el juego parece disfrutar viendo cómo el jugador se desespera intentando encontrar el píxel exacto que activa algo

Just completed Still Life 1 which I generally speaking liked and thought to try this. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game can be bad. First thing that many will hate for sure is the fact that it's essentially FPS game bit like Myst etc. I personally dislike those a lot, but here I could live with the change. But I absolutely couldn't with _the worst_ dialogue I've ever seen in any adventure game. It's filled with short phrases and my god the context. It's so bad that it's downright hilarious. Results can be something that doesn't make any sense at all. Check out some vids about the start. Things can play like Client "Are you available for detective work?" You: "No I don't do that anymore, but come inside" Client "I'll pay you" You "I'm available. Who has been murdered?" Client "My sister" You "That's enough information" Client "I don't want police to know" And you'll essentially run to police station and tell everything about the client to first badly written cop character you see. I read somewhere that the dialogue system should be somehow adaptive or something, but it's a joke. Plus the worst part is that game seems to be 90% about dialogue, which all seems to be garbage from what I looked on after playing hour or two. I literally couldn't stand it anymore. Oh yeah and there's like two simple short musical scores that repeat constantly. Oh and how did I almost forget to the absolute worst part. That is that even in my short run I could ask stuff I didn't have a clue about from bunch of characters and then hear like 10mins later hear/read etc. the real context and get that "Oh now I get why he said that name". So the dialogue scripting is very broken too. My Still Life review said that absolutely try at least from deep sale as title can be got for almost free. This one? Save time and don't play it even if you'd get it for free.

Post Mortem I enjoyed this so much that I actually finished it before another game i was playing at the moment — which says a lot. The story is excellent, with a solid investigative core and an engaging plot that genuinely makes you want to replay dialogues just to explore different conversational outcomes. It respects the player’s curiosity and rewards attention. Yes, the graphics are very dated, and you definitely need patience to run and play a game this old. The pacing and mechanics clearly belong to another era. But honestly? It was worth it. And surprisingly — something that is rare in this genre — I loved the ending. I’m currently replaying games from my adolescence, and this was a genuinely good reunion. Score: 6.5/10
