Stonewall Penitentiary

If someone asks me now to choose the best game I've played in 2018, it will easily be this one! Stonewall Penitentiary is another wonderful tale by Storycentric Worlds. The level of suspense is really high. This murder mystery story starts with William Thane (The man you control) He is an unemployed artist who suffers from depression and alcoholism. That night he was lying down, dreaming of his son who was playing basketball inside the house- despite the warning he already gave him many times of not playing inside the house- the little boy accidentally knocked down the painting William been working on for hours. Yelling at his son was the worst thing he did and regret doing before he opened his eyes and found himself in a dark cell, tied up and naked - Who kidnapped him? That for us to find out. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1385692027 Later when he was able to free himself and meet the others who were gathering in the cafeteria where a message from a captor c...

[b]stonewall penitentiary[/b] is a 1st-person point & click murder mystery. you wake up naked and tied up in a prison cell after somebody brought you and a few others there to confess your sins, and they will probably resort to more convincing methods than saying 'please'. once you and the girl next door get out of your cells, you're invited to meet some new friends in the prison cafeteria, because the villain is one of those playful ones, like jigsaw from the [b]saw[/b] movies. 6 people who all killed somebody, whether they acknowledge it or not, 6 hours to find a way out, but after each hour somebody will die. luckily, [b]it's not a timed game[/b], and after a 7th person shows up, it's clear that one of them is the captor. this is mentioned on the store page, not much of a spoiler, and there's clearly more to the story, to be found out at your convenience. simple point & click controls with optional hotkeys, left click on an item to look at it or take it, but [b]no hotspot indicato...

I've been waiting for this game for a long time and I am not disappointed. This game is so creepy. You're locked in an abandoned prison with six other people, one of whom you suspect is a murderous madman.... but which one of the others is it? The dialogue is excellent and the style of the graphics really adds to the experience. Also, you are presented with several choices as the story unfolds and your decisions make a difference, especially in the final outcome of the game. A big thumbs up!

I really have enjoyed this game. Brilliant albeit creepy story with great voice acting and immersive sets. Although it is an interactive novel, it isn't a static, page by page experience, but rather more a point and click adventure with plenty of objects to look at, interact with, plus loads of journals and pages with hints to find..( I loved that part as one really felt like a detective) The few quick action required sequences were manageable . I am a bit clueless sometimes...lol. Plus the game didn't make one go back a LONG way to try again; much like Nancy Drew games, in which one can die but is placed right at the same point to try again. Very appreciated...Interestingly enough, I actually did guess the murderer correctly , but for some reason decided against this choice so I guess always trust your instincts is very true! This developer is very talented and I look forward to more games from him... Totally recommended.... Oh and I WILL be re playing it with the view to achiev...

So I've Just finished the game and don't know where to start to give you folk just an idea on how good this game is for now I will start with the premise of the game: You're William Thane a man oppressed by alcoholism and depression who recently lost his work and divorced from his wife.This gruff young dude show in his voice (thanks to an appropriate voice over of his dialog lines) all the grief of a man who had to find a new reason to live but also a man that keep for himself a Horrible secret that taunt him and from wich William desperately try to escape by losing his senses in drinking. As the luck he had until now wasn't enough poor William is kidnapped in the middle of the night and taken unconscious is thrown (tied up and naked) by his captor inside a dark cell of an abandoned prison specifically the infamous "Stonewall Penitentiary" an old structure who got behind it a dark story for holding in it some of the most dangerous & devious criminals of the California state (The auth...

I'm only about 2 hours in but I'm loving this game so far! It's a murder mystery and reminiscent of the Saw movies. You're trapped inside a prison with a bunch of strangers, and you don't know who to trust. The gameplay is similar to first person graphic adventures from the 1990s and early 2000s, kind of like the Nancy Drew games. The voice acting and music are good, and the graphics have a hand-drawn look that fits the tone of the game. I recommend it for anyone looking for a good adventure game or a fun mystery!

Delightfully artistic, Stonewall penitentiary is a point and click puzzler in the vein of TellTale games. It has some solid voice acting and good puzzle game play. The story premise is well told, if a little old-hat, and engaging from the start. Check out some gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lhvQeUlpXE

Another winner from Storycentric Worlds! Stonewall Penitentiary has a graphic novel look to it with very good voiceover talent. The story is well-written and engrossing. While, yes, I was getting the Agatha Christie And Then There Were None feel to it, knowing that did not take away from the mystery and intrigue of this horrific prison's history and its less than desirable current inmates. I love the detail that go into these games and I always think I have looked at everything, but still find that there are things I missed. I will just have to replay the game again! There are some serious choices in this game that will determine how you proceed at certain points (maybe how I missed some of the things I missed). There are lots of letters and journals to find, and clicking to get info on everything you see is vital to the game experience and solving the mystery. If those kinds of things appeal to you, this game will likely make you very happy.

Will wakes up in an abandoned prison for the criminally insane. He is locked in a cell with his hands tied. A female voice reaches out and Will must work together with this mysterious woman to escape from his cell. We soon find out that the two of us are definitely not alone and more victims were also kidnapped, put in the same prison and worked together just like us to escape from their own locked cells. Shortly after meeting each other we learn why we are put in this prison, what we must to do survive and what would happen to us if we were to not carry out the instructions of our captor. There is only limited time to escape and every hour one of us has to die. The door will open when the clock hits a specific hour but who will make it out alive when that time comes? Our captor surely follows up on their word and bodies start dropping like flies shortly after. The killer is among us in the prison. Who is he or she among the 7 suspects including our character? Who can we trust? Can we...

Stonewall Penitentiary is a First-Person Point&Click Adventure from one men developer Storycentric Games in a style I have actually been waiting for for a long time. This is the first game by this developer that is fully graphics based and voice acted. Graphics is kept quite simple, although enough to create the dark mood, but I take that as a good thing as it allows a one men developer to finish their game in a for the fans of their work pleasant time frame. So what makes Stonewall Penitentiary for me so special for a Point&Click Adventure? First it’s the specific setting. A number of strangers are trapped in a for seemingly all of them totally strange place. Bad things happen that open the question who actually can be trusted. Second it’s the fact that the other (non-player) characters believably make the impression to be acting on their own, are trying to improve the situation themselves or are handling it in their own specific way. In a typical Point&Click Adventures, you are ...
