Unavowed

Unavowed is the first game I've played from Wadjet Eye Games and I'm instantly a fan, this is one of the best point and click adventure games I've played in a long time. While the gameplay is not very groundbreaking, it draws very much from adventure basics such as picking up items and using them on things and talking to people with dialogue options, the game features a very immersive world and characters with so much personality.

The game creates its own fantasy version of New York where spirits are taken over and you and your crew (The Unavowed) are there to put a stop to it. The game will have you exploring several parts of New York and try to solve the mysteries of the weird things happening, and slowly unveiling part of the bigger picture of the whole thing. The whole storyline is excellent and I really enjoyed the dialogue between the characters (which are fully voiced), Eli and Vicky in particular have always sharp and sarcastic replies. I think the game really does what an adventure game is supposed to do, and that's really draw you into the story and the characters. For each area you are able to bring 2 characters with you, and they all have their own special thing they do, so depending on who you bring they are different ways of resolving the areas. The game will also throw at you key decisions that will affect later parts of the game, and this also results in the game having several different endings.

I've really enjoyed my time with Unavowed, it's just the perfect length and doesn't overstay its welcome. I'm now interested in the other games they've made (and published) as I feel this continues the tradition of point and click adventures but also creating really interesting worlds, assuming their past games being as good as this one. Highly recommended, top notch vintage Adventure game.
