What players think
The recurring themes across 96 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
An excellent gothic detective story, the only drawback of which is its short duration.
The environments are beautifully illustrated with a hand-drawn art style that suits the game's tone perfectly.
Detective From The Crypt is a charming point-and-click mystery adventure developed and published by BOV that blends supernatural storytelling with classic detective gameplay.
Sound effects and music contribute nicely to the eerie atmosphere and fit the "Victorian gothic" setting very well.
It's not too difficult to complete (and there is a cat to help you and give you hints if you are stuck).
