preview looks cute probably would be a fun game if it didn't crash on opening. Looked in the discussion boards see an almost 8 year old post discussing this problem and the advice was to recode the game yourself? like go into the internal files of the games coding and update it on your own. And the code update was provided by a forum user not the developer. and even that recommendation was not successful for multiple people. I'm not about to recode a game just to START the game. TL;DR Game is unplayable at start up and you have to trust a strangers coding update to fix? That is a big fat NO thank you. Why would I spent ANY money on a developer that can't code their free game to open at start? Like this game being offered for free when it is unplayable with a known game crashing bug at start up just makes me want to avoid any projects by this team.

Short chapter of detective work that is hard on a senior memory like mine, but fun to play.

Игра погружает в мрачную атмосферу викторианской Англии с головокружительно детализированным сюжетом. Гениальная механика расследования, где каждая улица и диалог полны загадок. Идеальный баланс между хоррором и детективом, оставляющий желание немедленно начать вторую главу.

"The Walsingham Files - Chapter 1" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "The Walsingham Files". The Walsingham Files is a godawful RPG Maker asset flip... wow, does Steam really need advertisements for RPG Maker asset flips? This garbage RPG Maker asset flip is being dumped onto Steam one chapter at a time, and the developer delusionally expects to be paid a whopping $7 for the next part of the asset flip. They also want $1 off you for a commentary about how they used RPG Maker to create an advert for a garbage RPG Maker asset flip with high school anime club dropout fan-fiction cringe writing. Ugh. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not The Walsingham Files, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here wi…

Another good little point-and-click game from the makers of "The Silver Creek Falls" Trilogy. We meet a familiar face with this game. The detective from the previously mentioned series shows up and leads us through an interesting story of murder and intrigue. The graphics are top-notch, the gameplay is interesting enough to keep you playing and the storyline is involving. The only real issues with this game are: The achievements gained for playing on Steam don't show up on the game screen properly. And the episodes (there's more than one,) are not released in a joined collective. I personally think it would be better if the player could play games like these as one single experience, rather than two or more disjointed experiences.
