What players say
storyline and puzzle are both nice but i wish i could use my keyboard too while playing!
I'll admit, I am not a fan of pixel graphics, and I rarely play them. I lean toward games with realistic, stylish, pretty graphics, and pixel art just doesn't do it for me. What can I say, I'm just drawn to eye-candy. However, because of the very positive ratings, and the deep discount, I decided to take a chance with this game. I don't regret that decision, as I very much enjoyed Detective Di: The Silk Rose...
I love pixel games like this, very well made. I'm only 1 case in but I can say without a doubt it's got some beautiful atmospheric traditional chinese music, great puzzles if not a tad simple (maybe it's because it's only the first case so far, plots that make sense etc. If you like this you'll like Tales of the Neon Sea (cyberpunk theme) which was my first every detective point and click game which I love so much...
