Shady Brook

Apparently, everything seems to be the way our hero dreamt of it. The inhabitants of the town are nice and warmly welcome their new neighbors. This is until one of the locals unexpectedly commits suicide. The writer who is interested in this fact does not believe in the official version of the events and, led by instinct, begins his private investigation. He quickly discovers the real connections and dependencies that exist in this seemingly ordinary and happy town. It turns out that Shady Brook hides a dark secret about the existence of which the world should not know.

Developments in the game are observed from the perspective of the first person, and the movement is made in a jumping way by moving the cursor to the appropriate edge of the screen. Its upper part contains a ribbon with objects - an inseparable element of the point-and-click game interface. The game boils down to moving around the relatively large area of the title town and conversations with the characters we meet, most of which can always be found in the same place. After getting acquainted with the required number of dialogue issues, the game moves us to the next block of time. After finishing the plot, we are rewarded with the right result, depending on how many secrets we have discovered. An interesting option is the ability to turn on censorship mode, which will result in less drastic scenes and a softer language.

Shady Brook is proof that in a good adventure game the plot is the most important element. Graphics made in Adventure Maker program does not impress with its quality and detail, and animations of characters often look almost ugly. In addition, we often deal with various types of graphic bugs, e.g. the disappearance of objects, etc. The stronger side of the game is the soundtrack - diversified and well suited to the atmosphere of production.
