Origins of the WadhetEye style adventure

While not the first game helmed by Dave Gilbert, the ambition and narrative flow reminds of later entries in his catalogue. Quite clunky by current standards, a difficulty more tuned to a casual playthrough, but still a fun take on the material and interesting adventure game interactions.

Very surprised it worked great on steam deck too, while many people reported problems on windows 11, that proton stuff is juicy.

andreea.annabelle's review of Emerald City Confidential

This was such a nice experience and the game features such an interesting world. If you love film noir and a bit of magic, you will certainly love this game.
