Point-and-click adventure games had a bit of a renaissance in the last decade, but have become harder to find ever since Telltale discovered a different formula with The Walking Dead in 2012. Luckily, indie developers are there to fill the void for folks who still like walking into a room and poking at everything they see.
Lamplight City is a new adventure game from the creator of Shardlight, and offers a unique twist on the familiar detective stories frequently used in this genre. Like old LucasArts games there’s never a failure state, but that doesn’t mean the main character can’t mess things up for himself. It’s up to you whether you prefer to play the character as a competent detective or an irredeemable screw-up, and it’s pretty interesting exploring different paths to see how things turn out in both cases.
