In Case You Missed It
Mozart Requiem review – Entertaining historical mystery desperately in need of fine tuning
Finally localized in English after being released in Dutch and French over a decade ago, Mozart Requiem is so unpolished it’s still not ready for prime time release, seriously undermining its fine protagonist and a story full of intrigue and adventure.
Pentiment review – Rich historical layers revealed in Obsidian’s impressive narrative adventure
Pentiment is a captivating Renaissance adventure that challenges players to unravel both a murder mystery and the many enigmas of history.

Jennifer Wilde: Unlikely Revolutionaries review – Stylish black-and-white mystery feels surprisingly tame
The stylish Jennifer Wilde: Unlikely Revolutionaries will grab you at first but the pace quickly slows, as will your interest, feeling like a missed opportunity.
The Plague Doctor of Wippra review – Short but infectious medieval slice of life adventure
While not much in the way of a challenge, The Plague Doctor of Wippra represents, in miniature, everything that adventure games do best: It transports you into a fully realized world, using a limited set of resources (time, puzzles, graphics) to effectively deliver an historical, emotional gut punch.
Unusual Findings review – Lots of 80s influence unearthed in nostalgia-fueled sci-fi mystery
If you have a healthy tolerance for 1980s fawning and the occasional frustrations of early point-and-click adventures, Unusual Findings is a reasonably fun experience with great graphics and music—as long as you don’t find the more obvious aspects of its referential nature to be too excessive.
