Hill Agency: PURITYdecay

A detective game where you don't have to play a cop!

i really recommend this game, it's got a cool style, interesting story, and plenty of intrigue -- there were some game-breaking bugs in previous versions of the game, so you may have seen some confused twitch streamers playing the game, but fortunately the developers have continued to support the game and as of patch 1.03 i was able to play through the entire story without any major issues! How fast you read and how much you walk around to check things out will influence how quickly you get through the story, but I'd say the game is around 3 hours long, and very much worth your time!

A gorgeous cyber-noir point and click that lovingly weaves Indigenous elements into every interaction. The game mechanics are well chosen and integrate well into the world with expectations of player engagement and thinking, though at times the interfacing can feel clunky due to the slower pace of the game and lack of key functions map in the settings. The humor and pretty streamlined dialogue was a welcome sight, with dialogue trees feeling well laid out and in line with the character's personality. Overall I appreciate the slow pace and belief in the audience to figure things out as we take in the beautiful world of Hill Agency.

I haven't played a detective-style game since the early 2000s and I am happy to say that I was not disappointed. Hill Agency is reminiscent of the fantastic Grim Fandango, with its beautifully designed scenes and unique neo-noir style. The black and white contrasted with touches of color appeals to the visual senses. As I explored each area, I often found myself admiring the scene, even wanting to explore more. Whether it was intentional by design or just part of the overall artistic vision, credit to the designers is due, as this is the type of style you want in a detective game where you are looking for clues. As the story progresses through each case, I felt that the dialogue between characters was well written, enjoyable, and kept me interested. The characters were well developed, and I wanted to discover more about them. The pacing and flow was smooth and I never felt unnecessarily interrupted during my adventure. At the time of playing, there were a few small bugs, but nothing...

The game is off to a fun start. It has a beautiful vibe with futuristic story elements, and a noire style of cinematography, packing into an indigenous detective game where you need to search everything hunting for clues but with a very mellow sound track. The first detective case is a simple yet delightful getting to know the game story with low stakes / pressure. Once that is completed things quickly step up with a serious crime that engages you, and yet feels like it should be very solvable based on the skills you have already developed from the first case. I personally highly recommend.

An intriguing and stylish detective game. Really love what Achimo has going on here! Looking forward to playing more, but can pretty safely assume its worth your time to pick up :)

Fun game. You really get the feeling that you're in a city while you stroll the streets. Fun characters and story.

Hill Agency: PURITY&decay has met all my expectations as a Kickstarter backer, the teams 4 years of hard work shows in every dialog interaction, every charter, and every background is beautifully brings this world to life.

I found this game enjoyable with story/mystery, art style, and the Indigenous culture

It's fun. A bit slow to walk around.
