What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It helps that the script is decent too, with the majority of the lines sounding like dialogue that would be uttered by actual humans in the real world.
In terms of sound design, Lamplight City distinguishes itself from the rest of the indie game point-and-click crowd by being fully voiced by good cast.
Lamplight City is a meticulously crafted point-and-click detective adventure developed by Grundislav Games, blending a richly detailed alternate-history setting with classic investigative gameplay.
I liked this aspect, as it eliminates one of the bugbears of point and click games: the "Inventory rub", where you end up trying every item on every other item to see if something clicks.
The retro pixel-art style evokes games like Monkey Island, and the dialogue scenes take their props from Gabriel Knight with the talking character portraits.
The cases were the perfect level of difficulty- easy enough to not get frustrated or lost, but complex enough to not get bored.
