About the game
A child is missing. The police are failing. And you're a retired detective with a bit too much time on your hands. Time to throw out the rules & do whatever it takes to bring the child home. From the developers of I AM RIPPER, The Occupation & Ether One.

The value story
29 discounts in the 5 years on record, a median of 35 percent off across all of them, roughly 9 weeks apart. Today's $12.49 at 50 percent off still sits 25 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 16 percent on value. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 76 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Syberia: The World Before ($39.99, scores 57) beats it on value, while it beats Draugen ($19.99, scores 29).

This is a beautiful-looking game with lovely sound design and great characters. Is it buggy? Well, it's Unreal Engine, so that should answer the question. Plenty of bugs. Some stall progress. Some are softlocks. Some are hardlocks. Way too many HUD locks. Way too often input won't work properly...

I can't recommend Dahlia View in its current state. In just one hour of play, the game crashed around 10 times! The lock picking puzzle couldn't be solved on my handheld due to a bug, and the bag flying around like it lost gravity completely breaks the experience. It's a shame, because the game is genuinely beautiful, with well-drawn environments and good voice acting. Collecting clues was fun, and I enjoyed the...
