I have all but completed a new game released by Airtight Games and Square Enix CO and is available from Steam. The game is a detective thriller/noire game with a twist. Ronan who is a detective in Salem Massachusetts, is seemingly killed by the notorious serial killer known as the Bell Killer. On dying, he is given the task of solving his own murder, as well as his wife who was murdered years ago, along with many unsolved murders. The story is great, the graphics and cut scenes are fantastic and the game is really worth playing. I hope you get to play it and enjoy it.

Sounds great Callista! Good luck with the Game!

I saw someone streaming this a few weeks ago. Looked like it needed a hefty machine to run it - at least heftier than mine :-)

My computer specifications were below that recommended regarding the video card and I played the game on all the highest settings and the game ran smoothly throughout. Unless you have a very old computer, you shouldn't have too many problems with running the game.

Per Wikipedia and Steam this is an action/adventure game so I will move it to the DarkSide.

Thanks, Callista, and Ana

Well the studio that developed the game has closed down not even a month after releasing the game. So I guess reception has not been as expected and sales numbers were probably not met. I have read very mixed reviews about the game and it has generally received quite low scores.

That's always sad

Bought it at a discount and played it for a few hours: I quite enjoy this game. Then again I also like Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy), Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls.
Edit: 1 problem: no way to change the keyboard layout from wasd to arrow keys so I used MotionInJoy to play the game with my Dualshock 3 controller.

Glad you found a way to make it work for you

Jarkeld, Where did you get it on sale? It's still $49.99 at Steam and I really don't want to pay that much for it.

I bought it on Gamefly: 24.99 pounds instead of 40 euros (around 30 pounds) on steam and I got a 20% off coupon as I tried to remember my password for my Direct2Drive account (they bought them up years ago). So I only had to pay 19.99 pounds.

When it comes to AAA games, I usually try SimplyCDKeys (sold out), Green man gaming (no discount) and now Gamefly.

Thanks, Jarkeld. I think I'll wait for some place like Steam to put it on sale.

Never had any problems with the steam keys I bought from the sites I mentioned.

It's $14.99 (70% off) on Green Man Gaming right now. It's a Steam key.

I may pick this game up - it sounds different and unusual.

I just looked at part 1 on you tube. Does using the controls get any harder than what I saw----up until he enters the apartment building? The reason I am asking is that I have never played a game using the controls before, but this game looks really interesting, and I would like to give it a try.

I bought it anyway. Will see what to do on you tube.

Is it a legit Steam key? Many of the EULAs for these games specifically prohibit selling separate keys that are not from the game distributor?

Green Man Gaming and Gamefly are legitimate resellers and have been for years.
They sell games and keys for games on Steam, that ubisoft thing and Origin.

Simplycdkeys is a bit more in the gray-ish area. Never had problems with it, but they don't have the same trust-factor GMG and Gamefly have.

When I was considering Wildstar, Green Man Gaming wouldn't sell it to me. They wanted me to send them a photo copy of my credit card, I didn't and since changed my mind about the game.

If anyone missed the GMG sale and still wants the game, The Humble Store has it for $14.99 (70% off) right now.

OK... Humble Store I trust.

Drac - did you ever get this game? I bought it a couple of weeks ago on sale at Humble Bundle. The graphics aren't working quite right but it is playable. However, I cannot seem to do anything with the first demon on the third floor of the building I was tossed out of.

I knew I shouldn't have tried another actiony game!

I meant to, but just never got around to it. I hate to hear you're having problems with it... Maybe if you post down in Glitches, someone can help you get it running better.

The graphics aren't what I'm worried about. It's the demon I can't get rid of that's the problem. He keeps killing me!
