The game is little more than a string of fetch quests, capped off with an ending that falls disappointingly flat. Missing-object puzzles could have added variety and broken up the monotony of being everyone's errand boy.

About This Game
The Wild Case is a 2D first-person point-and-click adventure.
In this story-focused adventure, players meet a cast of colorful characters, experience mysterious encounters, and solve puzzles to progress through the game.
The protagonist is a man who investigates strange occurrences—a sort of paranormal detective. One day, he receives a letter requesting help: strange creatures are terrorizing a village tucked deep in the wilds of the forest. With glowing eyes and an uncanny ability to evade hunters, these creatures may be more than mere beasts.
The adventure begins as soon as you arrive. You delve into the lives of the village residents before gathering the courage to travel deeper into the forest. The normal rules of life don’t apply here: if you want a service, be prepared to negotiate.
Be ready to ask: Who saw what? Why do they think the supernatural is involved? Will they help or hinder your investigation? Who’s your ally, and who’s your enemy? An array of interesting tasks and dialogues await you in the forgotten village.
What you can expect:
- Interactions with authentic and idiosyncratic NPCs.
- Atmospheric settings in remote settlements.
- Exciting puzzles involving exploration and NPC interactions.
- In the forests, you’ll find a hermit and a witch. Who’s the ally and who’s the enemy?
- Open world ready to be explored.
- Eerie encounters and mysteries.

As for the story, I have to admit I was expecting a bit more. Yes, it's engaging, but the ending felt a bit like "that's it?". It's not bad, it's a good ending, but it kind of comes out of nowhere, and at no point you're ready for it. I've recently played "Dark Mysteries: The Soul Keeper", and maybe I'm a bit spoiled by that game, because the ending was both really good and you knew it was coming. Here you're going through the puzzles and all of sudden "tada!" There's the ending. Still, it's a good game to play when you wan...
