When Rosa Blackwell's only relative dies after twenty years in a coma, she thinks the worst is over. This all changes when Joey Mallone, a sardonic ghost from the 1930s, blows into her life and tells her that she is a medium. Whether they like it or not, it is up to them to cure the supernatural ills of New York in this critically-acclaimed series of point-and-click adventure games.
When three NYU students kill themselves one after the other, nobody thinks that a sinister force is at work. Nobody but fledgling medium Rosa Blackwell and her new spirit guide Joey Mallone. It's trial by fire as they set these troubled spirits to rest.
The gameplay is fine I guess, but the game lacks sign posts, and it also lacks a way to turn the absolutely asinine music off. The mixing is so bad, that sometimes the dialogue is just drowned out by music, or you have to turn the volume down to avoid the music that's mixed SUPER LOUD, but the voices are mixed super quiet in comparison.
It's a couple hours of gameplay for $5, maybe stick to getting it on sale.
I've always loved point & click adventures, and this one is pretty great... VERY short... about 2 hours of gameplay in total. The story is good and intriguing; the writing could be a bit stronger. There are points where a conversation seems to flip very quickly or be over very abruptly... like trying to convince someone they go from "Absolutely not!"...
