This is a fantastic third person point and click adventure from an independent producer. I thoroughly hope that the subsequent chapters get released.The game is set in Victorian London when Jack the Ripper was at work. The gameplay focuses on learning things through conversation and object based puzzles. The puzzles are well designed and logical but there is a bit of pixel hunting. The pixel hunting is the only thing that annoyed me in the game.What really makes this game stand out is the quality of the script. It's appropriately dark at times but also has several lighter scenes which include a great sense of humour. The effort that has gone into the descriptions of surroundings is very rare, The sheer wit of the writer is brilliant.I'm looking forward to the next chapter(s).. This game sat in my Library as I waited for its continuation... which leads me to my negative review. Although I enjoyed what I played, I really can\u2019t recommend this game until \u201cAct 2\u201d comes along. There were a lot of positives, including the atmosphere, humorous dialogue, a good story with fairly good characters, cool surreal dream sequences, and the Shove Ha'Penny mini-game that (I guess since it was tweaked) was a lot of fun. The negatives though outweighed all those for me. The control was very fiddly and picky, so you had to repeat a lot of actions\/dialogue because you didn\u2019t click the precise pixel. Also the timing of the arm wrestling was really irritating, much more than the ha\u2019penny game. I could overlook all that but not the frustration of being left hanging without any resolution of the plot - especially since it\u2019s a murder mystery! So as interesting as it was, it became just a pointless time-waster.. Point and click adventure with pixel art akin AGS adventure games. You play as private investigator Sidney Emerson as he is hired to solve cases like a missing dog until things get dirty and heavy.Good:- Mistery story- Adult themesBad:- No voice over- Pixel hunt- Either simple or obtuse puzzles- Short length. Awesome game. I hope that they are able to finish and release the other acts in the future. I felt that everything about this game was solid: pixel art graphics, sound, user interface, writing, etc. Definitely one of the better point & click games that I've played lately.
