In the audio department, things hold up equally well for the most part. The voice acting in Still Life is rather excellent, even though some of the dialog does seem extremely cheesy and forced, as if it couldn’t come naturally. The language in this title is completely uncensored as well, which adds a realistic and gritty touch to the game. The music is top-notch and fits perfectly into place with the environments. Dark and haunting ambient tracks will play while you walk the streets of Prague as Gus and a higher tempo, techno-inspired set of tunes make Chicago feel more like its real life counter-part.

Overall, Still Life may be one of the better games of this year. This title will have you hooked from the beginning until the end, and the open-ended conclusion will leave things up to your imagination to figure out. Although it does feel very short, and some of the dialog seems quite tacky, these minor flaws are nothing that should deter fans of the genre from trying it out. Even for newcomers to the adventure platform, Still Life manages to keep things interesting from start to finish with just the right mix of action, puzzle solving and dialog. It’s a definite recommendation, the saddest part is that I know with the few point-and-click titles that will be released this coming year, none will be able to compare.
