The setting and graphics made me think of the two The Last Door games, which are strange games but play the dark subject matter straight and are far better games than this. This one goes from having an off tone to going completely off the rails towards the end with a transgender plotline that is totally out of place, plus, for good measure, a randomly inserted fight against racism, and then a confrontation with a crime boss who's a small child for no reason I could see. There are a couple times where your character has strange dreams with a talking fish. That tangent ends up going nowhere, and in retrospect just ends up seeming like an attempt to pad a story that's thin in this first act. Really not a lot happens storywise before the sudden ending on a cliffhanger.. it's well made, maybe not the best you can find but it has some charms, great dialogs, caracters are funworth playing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAlT8sEGKhcIt’s a classic adventure game through and through, and I was initially stumped by a few of the puzzles I came across. For the frustrated, I can only offer the advice I’ve been given since my first Sierra game in the early nineties: click on everything, and pick everything that you can up.2016 is already starting out as a year for exciting games on the horizon, so you can imagine my surprise when a smaller indie adventure game like this one took my interest. I had a hell of a lot of fun playing The Slaughter, and look forward to its next episode.. I'm going to assume you're already a fan of point-and-click adventures, so I'll keep it short. This is a very well-written, witty and atmospheric game! I found the puzzles enjoyable and comfortably difficult (not too easy, not too hard). The art is imperfect but charming, and I think it's pretty good at contributing positively to the overall feel of the game. I'm really looking forward to Act Two!Basically, if you enjoy the point-and-click games that Wadjet Eye and/or Screen7 publishes, I think you'll be pretty happy with this.. While not overly difficult puzzle-wise (which I found refreshing coming off some much more obtuse adventure games), the story and characters are engaging and I'm very cutious to see where the next act goes.. 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.. Verdict - really good game with a fine story, nice, old-fashioned graphics and music. I can recommend it if you're a fan of nostalgic, old-school games that are all about their story.. A belated review, in the hopes that more positive feedback will speed chapter 2 to my library.Point and click with cute graphics, good sounds and a compelling victorian london mystery.A must for any point and click fans, less of a puzzle than monkey island and Thimbleweed park. But what it lacks in challenge it makes up for in being a superb mystery.Only downside is. Where the ♥♥♥♥ is Act 2??????????!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!
