I hope someone ports this to SCI0! Would be amazing to run this on actual DOS

I liked this and bought it actually cause of stumbling into this review and found in the end credits btw. It's indeed love letter to older games, but not exactly flawless experience. Parser as usual can be fun or infuriating. Here it's mixed bag. Usually works just fine, but it like omits use of word "USE". I somewhat understand this decision, but only if parser is so-to-say foolproof and well imho here it's far from that. I think I got stuck was it four times in situation where I just couldn't find correct phrasing and had to check out hintbook that I'm in right tracks and still had to go for actual walkthrough in few places. Rope scene and very end of the game are prime examples. In addition there are somewhat of an plot blackholes in game. Like you know absurd amount of stuff when ranger has arrived and you can try to show and tell many quite critical seeming things to him and parser answer is… Nothing?? Where it usually states somehow your error. I think this is bit poor design and that character should've maybe been introduced quite a bit later in to the game. Because of this it felt I've ran into some bugs or something. Also in very end I still couldn't remember exactly all characters when questioned and game doesn't offer like character sheet or something. All because encounters are quite shallow in the end. Like that chick you arrive with feels quite unneccessary character alltogether. Overall 8/10, but I can't exactly recommend full priced. It felt tad bit too much for me. But I really hope this all doesn't come around to stating game is bad. It's not.

I'd still love a Quest for Glory 3 video, as it was my most nostalgic from back in the day.

As a Canadian, I appreciate that this game is set in Canada in a fictional town.

I'm glad you see your back to adventure games. I hope you will get the chance to try the Tex Murphy series.

Oh, these little girls. Their little mouths are open because of the excitement while they are eavesdropping. I'll play this game to death and I'll enjoy every minute of it!

This makes me think of early Sierra games like Police, Space, Kings Quest etc my early foray into more adult video games. Leisure Suit Larry was naughty! 😂

Oh boy the way you mentioned Colonel's Bequest and old friends really took me back. My best friend and I sat in my friend's basement and played through it about 35 years ago.

This looks like a fantastic retro game I could get into very well with it's more gentle difficulty.

The Venn Diagram of PushingUpRoses talking about murder mysteries and talking about retro adventure games (or modern adventure games inspired by the style) is just a nice little sliver of PushingUpRoses talking about murder mystery adventure games that simply says "PURfection"

Cheese in the machine is bad yes, but no way it is worse than Ifnkovhgroghprm.
