☆ Review: A Case of Distrust - "Play it again, Phyllis" ☆ #GameDev #IndieGame

Game Title: A Case of Distrust

Developer: The Wandering Ben

Platform Reviewed: PC (Steam)

Rating: Melting

A Case Of Distrust is a heavily text-based mystery adventure video game set in the 1920s and heavy with a woozy, smoky atmosphere that takes you through the seedy underbelly of a Prohibition-era San Francisco.

You take control of Phyllis Malone, an ex-cop turned private detective who usually spends her days making money out of tailing deadbeat husbands in failing marriages but who gets dragged into a bootlegging gig involving blackmail and other general unsavoriness.

☆ Review: Distortions – “Violin Hero is something nobody asked for” ☆ #IndieGame #GameDev

I generally consider myself a very forgiving reviewer. I usually give games the benefit of the doubt, especially in as a far as indie and first-time developers go. 

It was with this frame of mind that I approached Distortions, a debut video game by fledgling Brazilian developer Among Giants. 

But sadly, I am in awe of Distortions, and not in a good way.
