5/5

Highly addictive game with a lot of things to do - cooking, fishing, farming, gambling, exploring, taking photos, socializing… your head will spin from it all. :D The characters are all nicely written and encounters with them are quite fun. Both the visuals and music are beautiful, amazing, just perfect!

Loved exploring the deep Blue Hole and uncovering its secrets and inhabitants! Gonna play more. <3

Detective James Renoir has one last case to solve… his own death!

Liked:

Nice visual style
Noir theme
Puzzles – from easy to challenging

Not liked:

Sluggish movement
Bad controls
Sometimes unclear objective
Bad sound – James‘ voice has a big echo to make it sound like he is speaking from the other side but also makes it hard to understand, luckily there are subtitles, but it still destroys the atmosphere
The main hero looks like 50 years old tired man (but his voice sounds younger which adds a disproportion to the character) and the whole love story seems rather unbelievable to me. Well, maybe Kitty has a thing for older men… who am I to judge, right?
Puzzles – they are still the same, no new elements are introduced, and can become tedious/frustrating/boring
Speedrun achievement – ridiculous
