We’re in a sort of “Adventure Game Renaissance” right now, with companies like Telltale, Sierra, and Wadjet Eye all creating plenty of amazing software. With sequels to big names and popular IPs, it can be easy to miss new entries to the genre.
Rival Games’ The Detail is one of those new entries. The mature-theme crime drama follows the mixed paths of an aging cop and a shady informant, told through a graphic novel art style a la Wolf Among Us. Detective drama is big right now, with a resurgence on TV and in gaming; a point & click adventure seems like a natural choice for the theme.
The third (and final) episode, Devil in the Detail, debuts this week (April 28) on Steam and may be worth a try for those of us who miss Police Quest. We’ll have our review soon.
