This is a #DetectiveDotson #PointAndClickGame appreciation post:
I find the combination of slightly grainy photos and pixel art fascinating. It’s particularly compelling when it’s vistas & river/road perspectives.
Initially, it did feel a little like a fever dream - while the controls are sensible, some are unusual & the cultural context is also unfamiliar to me.
I really enjoyed the constant bargaining & trading. There are options to ignore bargaining & ways to find substitutes for most expensive items. Bargaining makes a really cool minigame. I've not beaten the cricket or dancing mini games yet! They do feel very appropriate, tho. I *loved* the hidden object games & the variety of minigame options for making money.
I also valued the way the stories are interlinked and the way the investigation/clue board works. I hope there is a chapter 2!
