Still Life

[u]Still Life[/u], a point-and-click detective adventure, feels a bit dated graphically and control-wise in 2025. The story, voice acting, art, and puzzles are strong. I never struggled to know what to do next, though I sometimes missed small objects or clues and had to check a guide. The ending leaves some threads unresolved, with a sequel providing further answers (though mixed reviews make me hesitant to continue). I’d still recommend it if you enjoy dark, crime-focused point-and-click tales. The closest comparison I can make is [u]Stasis[/u], though this is not quite as strong.

It sucked.

Fun murder mystery, and a point-and-click with 0 moon logic!

The story is decent, but there are too many tedious, clunky aspects to the game.

10/10

this game sucks, the end.

Missed opportunity in my view. The story and the style are really good, but execution is weak. Pros: - graphics were not bad at the time of release - nice Gothic atmosphere, especially in Prague - nice atmospheric music - interesting, noir story Cons: - there's not much of actual playing, mostly cut-scenes and A LOT of walking around - way too linear - few puzzles that *are* present are mostly very hard to guess and/or solve - laser/tile puzzle is time limited to seconds, which kills all the mood of the game, since it turns it into non-point-and-click adventure - the game under Linux glitches a lot if a player tries to alt-tab back to Steam; it has to be killed and relaunched almost every time - extremely annoying "Czech" names and especially their pronunciations

Great sound and visuals but some puzzles are too hard

I was impressed how good this looked on the Deck considering its age. I assumed it would be somewhat of a blurry mess, but the image was sharp with no performance issues. The game itself started well but became tedious in the final hours due to consecutive, obtuse puzzles which really slowed the narrative down. To the extent that the story more gives up on itself, rather than finishing. Moderately recommend.

Fluid and interesting story line. Great for puzzle peeps and also gamers who dislike having to run and hide during gameplay.
