Lamplight City
The Gateway to Vespuccia, the City of Air and Light, Lamplight City - the thriving port city of New Bretagne is a beacon of progress and industrial advancement in the New World. Yet beneath the promises of a shining 19th-century future, the city rests upon foundations of poverty, class struggle, and crime.
For police detective turned private investigator Miles Fordham, Lamplight City's shadowy corners are just part of the territory. But with his former partner constantly speaking to him from beyond the grave, his grip on sanity is slowly loosening. Can Miles find justice for his clients and track down his partner's killer before his entire world comes apart?
Be the detective you want to be. But prepare to face the consequences. Investigate crime scenes, interrogate suspects, get information by any means necessary. Follow the law or make your own rules, but how you choose to act will affect people's attitudes towards you.
Five cases to solve, with multiple suspects, false leads, and different outcomes. Never find yourself stuck in a dead-end situation. If the case becomes unsolvable, simply move on to the next one. The story will adapt based on your choices.
Single click interface with no inventory. Gather clues and documents in your casebook for review. Item manipulation is handled via a context-sensitive cursor.
A fictional city with four boroughs to explore, each with their own unique flavor. Players will visit each of these boroughs throughout the game, exploring themes such as class divide and the public's fear of emerging steam tech.
Inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Dickens.
Meet over 50 professionally voiced characters.
Original score by Mark Benis

Pretty good little point and click game set in a very cool setting. Very nice animation too. Just needed a little more interaction, I think to make it truly stand out.

Wonderful voice acting for every single character. The story's universe is very nicely woven into scenes, images, characters, narrative direction and dialogues without it being too on the nose but just about the right amount. I like how the story tackles several social issues well embedded within the story. You have technically 5 cases to solve but they are all connected by an overarching plot, along with throwbacks to your previous decisions made in the game that impacts your progression in different ways. It's a delightfully cohesive game. Only suggestion is to save often as some choices might lock you out of following the right trail.

A great game! The overall playing experience is excellent - 5 Stars! The worldbuilding, characters and narrative are brilliant. A lot of work and thought went into this. The mystery solving is very good - 4 stars. Definitely better than most in the genre. I love that you can accuse the wrong person or even declare a case unsolvable. There are some flaws, like choosing the wrong response to a character means they won't talk to you, cutting off a whole line of investigation. I recommend playing it once *without* commentary, to avoid spoilers, and then a second time with commentary, to appreciate the game to the full.

I recommend Lamplight City. I wasn't really into it at first, but after a couple of hours I got more immersed in the game. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the story and the characters.

Not until you end up investigating your fifth case do you realise that all previous cases are tied together and all the clues that you have gathered so far matter to the epilogue of the storyline. A dialogue heavy storyline with very few point and click moments you have to really listen to this game to get to where you have to go in each case. Pros: actually a rather good storyline Cons: exceptionally tedious amount of dialogue with limited interactions within the game with anything of importance in screen. *SPOILER* to get through the whole game which I worked out properly it will take around 24hours to achieve all achievements. You absolutely have to listen to all dialogue but it is rather easy to pick up the storyline if you just skip each dialogue as they are talking then read your case notes. Just pick up on names in each case mainly as well are the direction of what has happened and all else is just added story, of which it does build to the last case but I didn't necessarily need to read to pick up the main story. SAVE AT LOTS OF POINTS. This is absolutely necessary as if you get stuck at points you have to go back all over again and then start the case from the start to get where you need to go. However after the first case you pick up rather easily that you have to get to each area in a sequence to continue to game. Rather a nostalgic game of which I found a lot of similarities to "Lara Bow: The Dagger of Amon Ra" but with less visual interactions (unless you really want to listen to Bill cracking jokes and narrating EVERYTHING that he sees) Well done game developers!

So, in this game the main character have a sidekick, which keeps commenting on everything he is doing. For example, you look at the flower pot and give a description - he would then crack a lame joke or say something boring. Each and every time to the point of becoming very annoying after first five minutes of gameplay. And you literally need to look at objects in the world to achieve things. Second, this game is a comedy by itself. Do not expect serious investigations, but more of a "Monkey Island" type of experience, but with mediocre writing. Both of these thigs do not work for me. Maybe I will return to this game later, but very unlikely. Kind of sorry I bought it and tried immediately to refund it. Sadge.

A neat little detective game with nostalgia of old point and click games. I enjoy that the logic puzzles aren't too obtuse or out of place compared to old games. I enjoyed this on my Steam Deck doing about 1 case per night before bed and it was a great way to wind down from a busy day.

«Lamplight City» — это мрачный детективный квест в стиле стимпанк и викторианской эпохи, созданный разработчиком Томасом Гилберном и изданный Grundislav Games. Проект выполнен в классической пиксельной эстетике и вдохновлен произведениями Эдгара Аллана По и Чарльза Диккенса. Сюжет переносит игроков в альтернативный город Нью-Бристоль 1844 года. Главный герой — бывший полицейский детектив Майлз Делвин, который тяжело переживает гибель своего напарника во время неудачного расследования. Терзаемый чувством вины и преследуемый призрак погибшего друга, Майлз решает уйти из полиции и стать частным сыщиком, чтобы докопаться до истины и найти таинственного преступника, за которым они охотились. Игровой процесс строится на классических канонах жанра приключенческих игр: исследовании локаций, сборе улик, допросе свидетелей и подозреваемых, а также логическом сопоставлении фактов. Главная особенность расследований заключается в том, что в игре нет «правильного» или единственного пути к разгадке. Вы можете ошибаться, обвинять невиновных или упускать улики, и сюжет будет динамично адаптироваться к вашим неудачам, влияя на судьбы жителей Нью-Бристоля. Это атмосферная, глубокая и депрессивная история о мести, искуплении и человеческой природе, которая держит в напряжении от начала и до конца.
