Just finished this, really cool detective adventure game set in victorian-era Ireland, lots of spooky ghosts and mysteries, good story and evidence gathering / hypothesis systemsHighly recommend for Golden Idol / Obra Dinn enjoyers
Guess I should have made a ragebait post instead
Thanks for reminding me, I was considering pirating it
Imagine trying to engage /v/ with a genuine post. I tried the demo and liked it anon, it seemed to do things just right.
I've been playing it lately, currently at Saturday afternoon and I feel like I've run out of leads I can follow at this point in time>O'Meara hiding in his room so I can't get his alibi for Evelyn's fight or trap his angel or whatever>no one to verify Skerritt's alibi for the fight>no idea where to find anything belonging to Darcy's husband for the exorcism>no idea where to find ingredients to bless the well>no idea what the code to the safe in the stables is so I can't get into the basement yet (I guess I just have to wait for the deliveries in Sunday?)>no idea how to get into the bathhouse or Blake residenceProbably other things that I'm stuck on that I'm forgettingAlso they desperately need to fix loading times because it's pretty ridiculous to have to wait several seconds every time you change rooms
>>726015774I liked Obra and Idol and I got bored of the demo after night one and woke up to a room full of people I had to talk to. I just can't be fucked with all the busywork
is it a Visual novel? or a point and click?
>>726016841It's like Hotel Dusk
>>726015774>Obra Dinn enjoyersI loved that game.Sell me on OP's game. What are the mechanics
>>726016648>>no idea where to find anything belonging to Darcy's husband for the exorcism>no idea where to find ingredients to bless the wellCheck Miss Deane's diary in your evidence tab and then open the bathhouse.>>726016648>>no idea what the code to the safe in the stables is so I can't get into the basement yet (I guess I just have to wait for the deliveries in Sunday?)It's hidden in the plain sight in the same room.

>>726017158Basically what OP said but there's a time system where every action, like examining an object or talking to a character about something, takes time (usually one minute of in-game time) and every character has a schedule so they move around the manor doing different things at different times of day, different areas open up at different times, etc, so you have to manage your time and think about what actions you take and what questions you askThe goal is to collect clues and solve mysteries for each character which will presumably lead to solving the overarching mystery of what happened to the missing girl you were hired to find>>726016670"Talk to everyone about everything" busywork is part and parcel of the detective genre, if it's any consolation the game is designed to stop you from literally doing everything though>>726017614>Check Miss Deane's diary in your evidence tab and then open the bathhouse.I saw the sigils but I don't remember seeing anywhere to use them>It's hidden in the plain sight in the same room.Maybe I'm blind but I could find anything, guess I'll check again
>>726017845>there's a time systemDamn. Instant drop for me. Time constraints are uncomfy.
>>726017158In 3 days there will be a seance. You should probably find the missing person and save everyone from getting FUCKING OBLITERATED at the seance.You do so by talking to the Guest about Topics and interacting with environment to get more Topics to discuss. Each interaction moves time 1 minute forward. Each character has a timetable and changes places every hour. There are non-substantial events you can miss. Interacting and talking will fill up the mind map and at some point the game will tell you that you have enough evidence to solve some person's problem and then you do so to save them.>>726017927It is uncomfy but even if you'll interact with Everything there is more than enough time. I had to pass time 3 hours during the endgame because I was done with the mysteries way before the final events.
>>726017059huh, thats pretty fucking neat
>>726017845>Maybe I'm blind but I could find anything, guess I'll check againYou are, maybe you should check your detective vision in the stable with the safe. And the basement will open when the cargo arrives on the 3rd day, no need to stress about that.>I saw the sigils but I don't remember seeing anywhere to use themLook at the map. The bathhouse is closed, yes, but there is another room which is adjacent to the space where the bathhouse should be.

>>726015774the second I saw that looking at a pumpkin took time I lost all motivation because it's such a retarded mechanic, but I kept playingthen I saw something like 15 characters introduced at once and I was a bit confused because I didn't understand why it was presented in such a shit way, but I kept playingI did the first part with the druid guy and the woman, where you solve the woman's mystery and I just couldn't keep playing after that, I don't exactly remember whynot for me but I hope you guys enjoy
bump
>>726017845>>726018013Sounds more like Forgotten City
