Entwined: Strings of Deception

Okay, so... Not a bad game, but... Not a good one either. If you don't care about the graphics and just passively want to do H.O. scenes like me? Sure, any H.O. game (that actually works when you start it) can do it for you. The problem is that... This is one of those H.O.G.s that randomly spawn an H.O. scene somewhere. This game actually does multiple spawns too lol... BUT! I WILL give them credit... Unless you write stuff down, you will be clicking around, trying to find where the hell the next item/action is... And the they designed in a way... That even one that gets lost a lot *cough*... Can find their way. (There aren't that many areas...) So you will most likely run into an H.O. scene. That and if you attempt to enter the... Was it 9 digits? The 9 digit passcode -> MAKE SURE TO MEMORIZE IT! The moment you open that Folder? The code resets. :D.............. Come on... You can do 9. I will also point out the absurd part: the MC obtains the evidence against the "perpetrator" in an illegal way. She had no warrant and "did a certain action"... Which means her evidence will be thrown out. I pointed this out in another game too, similar to this one. Hell…

This was a thoroughly enjoyable ride despite its old age! Sure there's a lot of back tracking and moving around (actually... I only just realize now that I almost never opened the map to see if fast travel was possible... silly me...) Well, even so, I really enjoyed the investigation, slowly bringing the pieces together. Good HOG scenes, though sometimes the precision for the click is a bit too demanding especially with thin objects, better to try clicking on the thickest part of those. But, if you like HOG games, I totally recommend this one ^^

Voice acting is so bad it absolutely ruins the game. It's very obviously computerized. In fact, the developers didn't even bother to change the sound of the computer voice. It is the same robotic woman who reads your texts to you when you're driving in the car. My GPS sounds more lifelike! There are also strange translations that don't always make sense. At one point, the butler dramatically says that the maid is a "chary" character. I realize the developer is Pakistani. However, considering the fact that England colonized that region for several centuries, was it really so difficult for them to find someone who could properly translate the dialogue for them? Were there really no English holdovers from the old days that could do the voiceover work? Even the characters looked robotic. If you look at the woman on the store page, her eyes look lifeless, like a doll's eyes. Her fashion sense was nil. A game like this relies upon its story and actors to make it interesting. This game had absolutely no life to it. The characters sounded like those automated messages that annoy everybody. Not worth the $0.89 I paid for it on sale.

A bit too chaotic

decent HOG

Great old school game I recommend to buy on sale but I think the game is great. My only gripe it wish they allowed you to teleport from the map, but this is an older game
