Following the discovery of the case files, Victoria will have random flashbacks to the case Gus was investigating, and this is where players will be given the chance to control the second character of the game. The game fluctuates between a gloomy, modern day Chicago and a beautiful 1930s era Prague, where both characters attempt to resolve their gruesome cases. Both contain the same suspiciously similar types of circumstances and victims: women who degrade themselves to survive and who society would not miss or remember any time soon.

From this point on, Still Life becomes extremely addictive and intriguing, I will not say anymore as I wouldn’t want to give any details and wish keep the entire experience as unspoiled as possible. This leads me to my next point, which I will try to keep brief, the characters in the game, Victoria and Gus, will interact with an extensive amount of them. Each one feels different and unique due to the great characterization and effort placed into creating each person. Seeing as how Still Life is an adventure title, the point-and-click method of navigation is present, but with a twist, the camera follows Victoria from a third-person perspective, allowing for a much more fluent control of the character. Moving around is as simple as pointing and clicking, which is true to its genre and thanks in part to the intuitive mouse cursor, which changes form and lets players know if there is something worth examining into closer detail.
