Nico H rated The Roottrees are Dead

Nico H rated a mystery 1 year ago
A browser mystery made in HTML5.

I played this game a few months ago and enjoyed it a lot! It was recommended to me as another option for a nonlinear mystery-solving game after I expressed my frustration that the visual style of Obra Dinn gives me migraines, and it definitely delivered! I'm very happy to hear that the devs will be moving on to a steam release with new solves to make and illustrations. Using AI art for 'proof of concept' so to speak is something that still has its issues (environmental impact) but feels acceptable from the artistic perspective when you later go on to support human illustrators with the traction that proof of concept earned you. I'll certainly be picking up the steam version when it releases, and I'll save any deeper review for the fully realized edition of this game.
