Very reminiscent of the old Nancy Drew games. I had a lot of fun playing, took about 4 hours for the whole play through, and I intend to go achievement hunting in the future!2 found this helpful
Some of the achievements are STILL glitched despite the update. Overall, a very simple quick detective game.1 found this helpful
For a first game from these developers, I was pretty impressed. I was drawn to the game for the "conspiracy" board, and it was pretty good. The puzzles weren't super difficult but did involve some thinking. I enjoyed the internet sleuthing part, it was really well done. That being said, the game is VERY short. A lot of strings were left untied and some questions never answered. I believe this is on purpose and relates to the ending. Although I enjoyed the game, the price is double what it should be and the screen tearing is still an issue. Overall I would recommend the game if you manage to find it on sale! I hope this studio releases another game!1 found this helpful
There aren't any puzzles that the game doesn't solve for you. You can't interact with items unless they're required for the current puzzle; most of the game is just walking between the handful of places you're allowed to visit.
The Demo feels deceptive? The first puzzle is not a puzzle but following directions. Down a long road of loading time
Call of the Golden Valley is a mystery game where you play as Danielle, who is visiting her childhood friend in Australia, but when she arrives, her friend is missing. The plot is interesting as it is set in an old mining town in Australia, and I loved the voice acting. Also, some of the puzzles were challenging, and the hint system in the game was helpful. However, the game is buggy, and I experienced a game-breaking bug and had to start the game over. I did reach out to the developers, and they have since fixed the bug. Even though I liked the voice acting, the characters did not have any talking animation, which made for an off-putting experience. Call of the Golden Valley is not a bad mystery game, but the game-breaking bug I experienced brought the game down for me.
