Private eye dol for PCE CD
Review #11083
Private eye dol
Eye don't know what to do
Gameplay
Movement is similar to Zelda and other overhead adventure titles like it. However, there's nothing much to do besides walk along the walls while mashing the 2 button in hopes of finding something that can be interacted with. There are no visual cues about what will trigger an interaction. This is quite literally the only thing that I did during my hour plus of playtime. Movement felt fine although it's only for directional movement. And when you meet a wall you start hugging the wall as in Star Ocean.
Level Design
I walked around the first area (a spooky house) for an hour. I visited every room, mashed 2 to interact with everything and talked to every NPC multiple times. Try as I might I could not advance the plot. No walkthrough exists so I gave up. What a terribly designed game.
Theme
You're a crew of young and attractive girls filming a slasher movie at a spooky mansion during a sudden storm. I expected it to devolve into a creepy NSFW exhibition but it seems like it's a legit detective story. If only I could advance the story!!
Art Style
Beautifully drawn cutscenes and character artwork is combined with so so pixel artwork. Overall I like the style so props for making a visually interesting game.
Audio
The same song plays incessantly. It gives off a decent spooky vibe but loops so quickly and plays for so long that I bored of it quickly. Then again maybe that's because I couldn't get anywhere in the game.
