Over The Alps

Post by joonior_bmf »

Spy-fic interbelic "transalpin", ce combina point'n'click si text, in care actiunea se deruleaza prin intermediul unor carti postale. Neat.

"The clever presentation and superb writing are the high points of this charming little visual novel spy thriller."

The Good:

Outstanding story and writing from the brilliant Jon Ingold
Clever stamp-based mechanic driving the narrative
Has just the right balance of accessible spy action and historical period detail
Beautiful backgrounds in the style of vintage travel advertisements frame each scene
Uniformly compelling at least two times through with different choices

The Bad:

Very limited challenge to speak of
Screen is generally nothing but text most of the time
Interface on the PC feels a little unnatural compared to the iOS version

Our Verdict:

Debonair, aggressive, honest, deceiving—whatever your spy style, Over the Alps is a wonderful visual novel with a really fun mechanic. Picking this game up, with the promise of similar games still to come, is a choice no story lover will regret.
