About The Informant Chronicles- Chronicle 1: Riverside Danger Part 1

Welcome to the Informant Chronicles! A series of micro RPG games that surround the adventures of mysterious nameless informants as they use special abilities and powers to make the best of their assignments and gather the truths that surround strange circumstances plaguing citizens in all sorts of mysterious worlds. Is this notorious organization behind something bigger?

In Chronicle 1: Riverside Danger Part 1, Informant Red is assigned to a ten year old settlement on a river that is fearful in light of a massacre that left over half the village dead on a forest expedition. As she spends more time getting to know the locals, she discovers clues that suggest this incident was no accident. Can you help her uncover the truth?

"The Informant Chronicles" is an asset flip made with the godawful 001 Game Creator construction kit. The game construction kit that's giving GameMaker Studio a good challenge in the race for "worst game construction kit ever". 001's motto is "MAKE GAMES. NO CODING." which should give you a hint about what we're looking at here. In this case even less effort has been made than just using a construction kit because this is an asset flip. The developer simply copied the output from this 5 part tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1wRKx8b_6k Then changed a few things around to assemble what looks like a godawfully bad RPG Maker asset flip, but with worse graphics, and without any RPG mechanisms. While this is free, and that's the only acceptable way to even think about dumping an asset flip on Steam, it's still an asset flip and should be avoided. There's no fullscreen mode, retro pixel "art" that was just copy+pasted from the tutorial/001 Game Engine, the list goes on. There's nothing original or of value to gamers here. The youtube tutorial the "developer" here ripped off is more entertaining.

Игра "The Informant Chronicles - Chronicle 1: Riverside Danger Part 1" - это многообещающее начало детективной серии. Графика, хоть и не передовая, создает нужную атмосферу мрачного американского городка. Сюжет затягивает с первых минут, предлагая игроку роль информатора, втянутого в опасную игру с местной мафией. Диалоги хорошо написаны и позволяют почувствовать цинизм и безысходность ситуации. Геймплей представляет собой классическую point-and-click адвенчуру, где нужно искать улики, допрашивать свидетелей и решать головоломки. Некоторые загадки кажутся немного нелогичными, но в целом процесс прохождения остается увлекательным. Первая часть оставляет много вопросов и заставляет ждать продолжения с нетерпением. Чувствуется потенциал для развития персонажей и углубления криминальной истории. Рекомендую любителям нуарных детективов и point-and-click игр.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
