barrymeyers rated Casey Noir and Carved Pumpkin's Latte

barrymeyers rated a game 1 year ago
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

This is a very stylistic and chic game, where the creator took every care to make every character unique and stylistic. From the dashing Lady Quintessence, the elite socialite in her wine-red silk, to Pumpkin, born from earthen soil of the common folk, wearing nothing but simple and unassuming sweater. In addition, every character has a unique calling card that flashes their unique animation when they speak. The creator is a very strong writer and designer of his characters, and has crafted a short, but clever murder mystery with a huge unexpected twist at the end. It lulls me into losing my guard when I solved the case, but there were a few unfinished threads of thought in my mind, until the game also acknowledged them and turned the story around, revealing that nothing was as I had expected when the murder was solved. On the other hand, it was a series of foiled and diverted deaths that has made this mystery into something unique, of a type not seen before by me. I would highly recommend this for both the casual and the hardcore detectives in all readers.
