MxDoubleTrouble rated The Red Pearls of Borneo

A browser game made in HTML5.

I really enjoyed how this game weaved history and mystery together, I learned a lot about 20th century Borneo from it, and the looming question of what happened that night on the Goodwill Plantation only became more enticing the more I uncovered. 

I was disappointed that none of the Indigenous characters were a big part of the later story and that it pivoted to focus on the surviving white characters only (Aisyah was my favourite character, she was incredible!), but Lune's journey with her found family trying to make it  back to England was terrifyingly well-done and I was really rooting for them all to make it. 

Overall, I really enjoyed the gameplay and story, and it has encouraged me to learn more about Borneo!
