A good adventure game is like a successful first date: it maintains the delicate balance between intriguing you enough to want to proceed, and overpowering you with too much useless information. It sounds like a simple enough premise, but as titles – and dates – repeatedly demonstrate, it isn't as easy as it seems. As a follow-up to 2003's Post Mortem, Microïds' Still Life succeeds where many of its brethren have not, presenting us with a witty, stunning game that boasts an excellent script and fleshed-out characters. As a mix between Syberia and Post Mortem, it looks good from the get-go, combining the charm and graphics of the former with an intriguing murder mystery.
