Marcella Moon: Killer at the Cove

This is a disappointment for the franchise. Nearly unsolvable puzzles, and a downgrade in the ambience. Which is saying a lot.

This game was so bad I am attempting to get my money back.

It's a decent little game with very simple graphics. Fairly quick to complete - maybe 4-5 hours? But the mystery is interesting and the solution works. It's got a handful of puzzles within the investigation, and I was able to solve most without a walkthrough. (I definitely needed a walkthrough for one, because I was approaching the puzzle from an entirely different and wrong direction.) Voices were pretty good, and Marcella very much reminds me of Nancy Drew, which isn't a bad thing at all. Low-key but natural sounding dialogue and delivery throughout. My only issue with the game is that when I would save and then return later, it didn't always start up from my save point. So I'd have to replay a couple of segments before going on. But it was never enough to become annoying. Navigation can get a bit clunky, with a couple of items not leaving the screen when you click for them to, but again it's never enough to be a bother. Overall, I recommend it, especially if you're a fan of the Nancy Drew type of point-and-click mysteries. I'm looking forward to checking out more of the series.
