Cadenza: Music, Betrayal and Death Collector's Edition

I have a separate section in my library for 'state of the art'. This must rate top of this list. Absorbing story, great acting and the music is fantastic, to say nothing of the HOGs and puzzles. There are two independent songs which are beautiful, and although uncredited can be downloaded. It took me 9 hours to play both the game and bonus game and I'm still going through the extras. only quibble is the achievement that says completed in 5 hours - no way

💯

DISCLAIMER: Play time is not taking into consideration dinner and hot tub break folks. STORY: Interesting – EVEN MORE New Orleans jazz scene shenanigans. Musical score is jazz centered and cool, cool, cool. GRAPHICS: Nice, a step up from years gone by TRAVEL: Includes map that lists things to do or objectives to accomplish. Allows teleportation. MECHANICS: Typical HIDDEN OBJECT SCENES are not classic conventional but a mix of require you to interact with various objects to obtain others, riddles, wood cuts etc. MINIGAMES are at time simple and other challenging. BONUS FEATURES usual LENGTH: Depends on player – this is a good game for an afternoon/evening. ACHIEVEMENTS: if you’re a seeker there are plenty here. VOICE ACTING: For this genre it was pretty acceptable FYI…Stay for the credits – they are very amusing with each member of the team providing a personal comment.

Really Great HOG! music and puzzles are engaging and grateful for the colourful characters too.

Loved the jazz music, atmosphere & the in-depth storyline. Very unique! The HOG scenes are excellent with lots of variety in the things to locate & ways to find them. For example matching pairs & combining things. In fact, the HOG scenes are like their own self contained mini games! Great fun. The puzzles are 75% absurdly easy and 25% moderate, normally I prefer a bit more of a challenge. I like that the bonus chapter used new scenes, I find it lazy programming when bonus chapters repeat scenes. Despite the easy puzzles, those awesome HOG scenes made up for it. A good game overall. UPDATE: After the game is over, check the extras for more minigames and help the music shop owner rebuild his shop! Nice touch & happy ending! :)

I liked this game very much. I love music and although not a fan of jazz at all, i liked the unusual way about the whole game. These seem to be very clever Devs! I loved the bright colours and the hidden objects was different to a lot of other games. I thought i'd bought the rock n roll one, but doesn't appear to be on the two i chose yet sure one of them was. But i have an idea, in the future i think i will be buying more games by Cadenza!
