Secret Files: Tunguska

Really solid point & click adventure with gorgeous backgrounds and an intriguing story. Most puzzles if not all of them are logic bound and not some weird moon logic, there are still a few interactions that seemed weird to me at the end of the game, but overall i'd say its beginner friendly since it also has a highlight option and shows you the hotspots where you can grab or do interactions without the need for pixel-hunting. Played it fully on the deck, ran without issues and played wonderfuly with the default community controls, only thing is since the game is a bit dated, the aspect ratio for the game will be 4:3 and that could make some of the items hard to click even with the trackpad at times, but since there aren't any time gated puzzles where you need to react fast its a minor issue.

very mediocre point&click. the only justification for buying this is the fact that it is a very niche genre and i guess some people might want to play every single somewhat enjoyable point&click? stay aware if you're not an absolute hardcore fan of the genre. [h3]basically a bunch of randoms enjoyed "the broken sword", went [i]"HEY WHAT IF WE COPY THIS CLASSIC ALMOST 1 BY 1, IRELAND PUB SCENE AND ALL"[/i] and replaced george stobbard with a spunky but boring redhead.[/h3] several puzzles don't make any sense whatsoever. for instance, [spoiler]you'll be running into a series of gates that cannot be opened, only to find out that each of them will magically open up once you put an appropriate item (sword goes into hand, necklace around neck etc.) onto the statue of a knight in an entirely different part of the castle - without any physical explanation (ropes, levers etc.).[/spoiler] [spoiler]or you'll be tasked with waking up a drunk irishman, but instead of your character just grabbing the dude, you'll have to dismantle the stop sign in front of the pub like some kind of psychopath, throw the sign into an open fire (???), fry a fish on top of that and place the cooking fish&stop-sign combo in front of the sleeping man. because you wouldn't want to disturb anyone, especially not the bar owner. who's watching the entire thing the entire time.[/spoiler] this game feels like someone abducted a bunch of truck drivers, forced them at gunpoint to write a script for a point&click adventure and then funded the resulting mess with a few million $ without cutting or altering any of their ideas. the main value this game possesses is that it elevates "the broken sword" even further by painfully highlighting just how much random, unknown video game developers couldn't recreate its magic no matter how hard they tried. 4/10.

Es una aventura gráfica decente, los personajes están bien, la historia está bien, la trama está bien, no va a ser una aventura gráfica épica como otras que recuerdes siempre como algo muy guapo, pero para pasar el rato y evadirte en algo ameno cumple, no es un juego cansino ni tiene nada mal, está bien pero no es un juego top en este género, está en el "me lo paso ameno pero no estoy ante algo épico como pasaba con algunas aventuras gráficas antes" o igual es el cambio de los tiempos. Lo recomiendo porque me gustan las aventuras gráficas, aunque cada vez es más difícil encontrar una que me guste de verdad como cuando era pequeño o ahora habiendo tantos juegos buenos nos sabe a menos, si te gustan... dale, comprándolo en rebajas no va a ser una a recordar como épica pero los puzzles, historia, etc están bastante bien la verdad, se te va pasando ameno. La dificultad de los puzzles es tirando a fácil, con un par de veces donde te quedas colgado porque es un poco raro, pero habiendo yt si se hace muy pesado rebuscar se soluciona. Le doy un 6 de 10, casi un 7.

Old School Point and Click Adventure with nice modern Quality of Life features; All interactable spots can be highlighted, no pixelhunting. Contextual mouse cursor so you know when an item can be combined/used. I think this might be the first game to do this. Most puzzles have logical solutions, although some moon logic creeps in here and there. Still, because the interface is helpful it and you are never overloaded with items getting stuck is usually a brief occurence. One of few adventure Games that I completed without a guide. Cannot comment on the english VA but the German VA is fantastic.

Secret Files: Tunguska è un’avventura grafica che cattura lo spirito dei grandi classici del genere, come Broken Sword. La trama, ricca di mistero, ruota attorno all’enigmatica catastrofe di Tunguska. Gli enigmi sono ben calibrati: stimolanti ma mai frustranti, proprio come nei migliori titoli della tradizione.

Playing through the game again after 5 or 6 years since I last played. Exactly how I remember it being, wish they made more but I will just have to settle with replaying the 4 games again. Plays pretty well for an older game.

The arrow required to stop looking at something didn't show up for me

Schönes spannendes Krimi Abenteuer. Auch mit eingebauter Rätselhilfe, falls man nicht weiter kommt. Allerdings wirkt diese Beziehung zwischen Max und Nina sehr erzwungen. Max ist Nina quasi von Anfang an komplett hörig und denkt quasi nur an das eine, während Nina offenbar alle Männer hasst (außer ein Flirt bringt ihr Vorteile) und sämtliche Art von Anspruch an sie als Beleidigung empfindet. Ist nicht so schön anzusehen.

A fantastic classic from the early 2000s point and click adventure! They just dont make little gems like this anymore. This game is worth the buy if your a fan of point and click games. Great story!

I absolutely loved it! Finished it in just about 8 hours, the story and scenes are flawless. The pacing kept me hooked from start to finish, and I couldn’t put it down. Every detail felt carefully crafted, and the atmosphere pulled me in completely.
