Still Life

It looks pretty good for it's age, especially the backgrounds are beautifully detailed. The main characters look pretty good and the NPCs look kinda scary! The story was intersting and engaging, the characters were pretty basic. I enjoyed the switch back and forth between Victoria and her grandpa. And what really got me was the mystery around the case and how the game made you wonder and question stuff, this was really good and fun. I will also let you know, regarding the story. It does not have a proper conclusion and you barely get any real answers for the case and if that's a game breaker for you, you should know before you buy. The majority of the puzzles were good and fun. The rest of them... were some of the worst trial and error "puzzles" I ever had the displeasure of solving. And once you come near the end they also shove in a lot of puzzles for the sake of having a puzzle and even if they work as puzzles they often make so little sense in the game world that it just takes me out of it. The screens don't have proper indicators for where you can leave screens or indicators for items. Some of the items you need to pick up are TINY and even if you go over the entire screen with your mouse you might just be unlucky enough to miss them. You also can't open the map you always need to walk back to your car and that means lots of just walking through essentially empty screens. I was also really over the elevator animation by the end of the game. At first I thought it was cool that Victoria has diffrent animations for it but by the end of the game I just wanted to skip it. Very often Victoria will simpy not communicate what her current plan is and you will just try your best to guess what she would like you to do. If you can grab this on sale and you have the knowledge that frankly a bunch of the puzzles are bad and you should use a walkthrough for them, I do recommend this. the story was fun and engaging and it is short enough to not overstay it's welcome. But the last few puzzles really pushed it!

Хороший квест и достойное продолжение post mortem. Для микроидсов игра неплохо оптимизирована, что уже большая неожиданность, зная как французы относятся к своим играм. Интересная история, мрачная атмосфера, занятные загадки, неплохая музыка - все это в наличии. Немного портит атмосферу уже сильно устаревшая графика, серии явно нужна новая жизнь в виде ремастера. В таком виде как бы не была игра хороша, но зайдет она только ценителям жанра

A nostalgic one for me. Though it is quite dated now (e.g. only playable in 800x600) it's still worth it, especially together with the sequel. Classic point-and-click with compelling story, interesting characters and typical puzzles. Mostly fair and not too difficult (although a few times some things are hard to spot).

10/10

Great story. Very easy game.

this game sucks, the end.

Missed opportunity in my view. The story and the style are really good, but execution is weak. Pros: - graphics were not bad at the time of release - nice Gothic atmosphere, especially in Prague - nice atmospheric music - interesting, noir story Cons: - there's not much of actual playing, mostly cut-scenes and A LOT of walking around - way too linear - few puzzles that *are* present are mostly very hard to guess and/or solve - laser/tile puzzle is time limited to seconds, which kills all the mood of the game, since it turns it into non-point-and-click adventure - the game under Linux glitches a lot if a player tries to alt-tab back to Steam; it has to be killed and relaunched almost every time - extremely annoying "Czech" names and especially their pronunciations
