Still Life - Excellent
Still Life - Excellent
I finished Still Life tonight. It is the best game I have played in quite awhile. The graphics were knock-down gorgeous and the cut-scenes in all the right places. Excellent mature adult story, having to use deductive skills. A good number of puzzles, with one extremely hard (the spider/robot puzzle.) This puzzle rates in my top ten hardest puzzles to solve. The characters personalities were delightful and the overall story was well done. Excellent and Excellent. I give it a 10 out of 10.
Last night I dreamed I went to Manderley again...
I really liked Still Life, even though it had some some faults (mainly the dialogues, voice acting and the acting) it was a fun game, and I like playing a different character each time.
Did you notice that the main menu changes depending on who you're playing as? I was surprised that they made that effort.

The problem was that even though the main characters were great, and Claire and Victoria's 'partner' (forgot his name) were also good, nearly all the minor characters were terrible:
The two dumb brothers, their boss, the policeman you meet at the begining, Mia, the painter, most of the prostitutes, Victoria's father Patrick, the bouncer/pimp at the club, all of them seemed to make their character sound as cartoony as possible and ruined the atmosphere for this dark game.
