Reviewing games I played a long time ago: I discovered this right after playing Still Life, which I enjoyed quite a lot. The section with Gustav was one of the best parts of the game, so I became immediatly interest in Post Mortem, a prequel, where he is the protagonist. I must say... I liked it, it starts very, very strong, the premiss is great. But, well... the truth is, by the middle, it gets quite stale and... boring. But at the end picks up a bit again. But what I remember really liking was the atmosphere, the Paris from the 30's is very inspired by film noir. Also it makes you feel like a classic detective, that great. These old games I played a long time ago I usually install, try for an hour or so just to see how well it runs and uninstal. But I'm enjoying replaying this one, I think I'll carry on for a bit more :D Overall it's a game I still remember positively almost 2 decades later, that a sign I liked it. It works preety well on the Steam Deck. You'll just need to tinke...

It'a alright. The game starts strong and have a decent ending, but the middle is dull.
Just completed Still Life 1 which I generally speaking liked and thought to try this. God damn game can be bad. First thing that many will hate for sure is the fact that it's essentially FPS game bit like Myst etc. I personally dislike those a lot, but here I could live with the change. But I absolutely couldn't with _the worst_ dialogue I've ever seen in any adventure game. It's filled with short phrases and my god the context. It's so bad that it's downright hilarious. Results can be something that doesn't make any sense at all. Check out some vids about the start. Things can play like Client "Are you available for detective work?" You: "No I don't do that anymore, but come inside" Client "I'll pay you" You "I'm available. Who has been murdered?" Client "My sister" You "That's enough information" Client "I don't want police to know" And you'll essentially run to police station and tell everything about the client to first badly written cop character you see.
