60 of 60 · most liked firstOne of the first games to get me into the genre a little while back, was Francisco's game Lamplight City. Found it in my inbox after I'd played Unavowed, and I thoroughly loved it. I'd definitely recommend picking it up. store.steampowered.com/app/761460/L...
unlabelledView post →Got a pretty decent discount on it too because I already had Lamplight City, so it wasn't too expensive at all. But it's the principle of the thing, y'know? I wanted to just buy the game. store.steampowered.com/bundle/50641...
unlabelledView post →Looking forward to this one, if you enjoy Point & Click Adventure games, you might wanna keep an eye on Rosewater, 'cos the previous game Lamplight City was one of the games that got me into the genre in the first place. And there's still a demo to check out, if you're curious.

unlabelledView post →After 6 years, someone found a bug in Lamplight City where performing a specific set of actions causes the game to hit an unwinnable dead end state in Case 3. Just goes to show, no matter how much you test, there will always be something that slips by!
unlabelledView post →18. Lamplight City Really enjoyed the developer's latest game, Rosewater, earlier this year, but the previous game Lamplight City is extremely worth checking out; a steampunk detective point & click adventure that's broken up into individual bite-size cases. store.steampowered.com/app/761460/L...

unlabelledView post →14. Lamplight City This is one of the games that got me into the Point & Click genre, and with the developer's new game Rosewater coming out soon, it's well worth checking out. The individual murder cases break up the gameplay into nice bite-size mysteries. store.steampowered.com/app/761460/L...
unlabelledView post →21. The Darkside Detective Here's an Irish game for Patty's Day! This was the first modern Point & Click Adventure game I'd played, and along with Avowed and Lamplight City got me into the genre after thinking for years I didn't get on with it. It's great! store.steampowered.com/app/368390/T...

unlabelledView post →For A Golden Wake, Lamplight City, and Rosewater, I bumped it up to 10 frames. It's interesting how the frame count worked in all 3 games despite being 320x200, 640x400, and 1280x720, respectively. (Also amusing to note how my rotoscoping process improved with each game) (🧵3/6)

unlabelledView post →Game 37 - Lamplight City: A true modern classic of the genre. Replaying this with a friend reminded me how bold it is. Discarding genre conventions that the designer understands are unneeded for this particular experience helps, rather than hinders, the goal of being a fantastic detective game.
unlabelledView post →Another great adventure game developer who's now doing his own thing is Francisco Gonzalez/@grundislav.games - his adventures are all really notable for being complex and replayable, incorporating player choice and offering layered, interesting characters. Lamplight City and Rosewater are awesome!

unlabelledView post →Rosewater's precursor, Lamplight City, was the first game the Consulting Detective Network took on. It was an amazing adventure game, mystery, and homage to games like Gabriel Night. I cannot express how much excited I am to dig into Rosewater. Go check it out, all.

unlabelledView post →Rosewater is a DELIGHT and I recommend you also get its Older Brother Game Lamplight City set in the same AU 19th century world
unlabelledView post →This game is so great (I would die for Danny & Nadine). Get its brother-game Lamplight City while you're at it, treat yourself to a double whammy of the same world.
unlabelledView post →Lamplight City was a very fun adventure game with the premise "what if a Sierra game didn't hate your existence?"
unlabelledView post →I think out of all the Grundislav Games, most people sleep on A Golden Wake. Lamplight City and Rosewater have the most "game" elements, with mysteries to solve and epic adventures to have, but A Golden Wake is sneakier. It's a point-and-click about the 1920s Florida land boom, and that's cool!
unlabelledView post →Signal boosting Rosewater, one of my favorite adventure games of the last several years, currently on sale on Steam! (You can also get it with Lamplight City for under $20!) It's a fantastic game with great characters, multiple solutions to puzzles and even some randomization to keep things fresh!

unlabelledView post →If your ears perk up at the chance to hear a modern adventure game creator talk in detail about adventure game puzzle design, Francisco Gonzalez of Grundislav Games (Rosewater, Lamplight City) has you covered!
unlabelledView post →Rosewater is great. Elevates the Point and Click genre. The writing and the art and the sound are all A+. It's part of the same world as a previous game but you do not have to have played Lamplight City at all to enjoy Rosewater. But you should play Lamplight City because it's awesome too.

unlabelledView post →Just finished playing #LamplightCity. What an incredible game. All my congratulations to @GrundislavGames on such a wonderful achievement. #adventuregames
unlabelledView post →I picked up Rosewater a couple of weeks ago. Reading a newspaper early in the game, it reminded me of Lamplight City, a game that kept calling me from my backlog. Learned the games shared a universe, so jumped into Lamplight City and quite into it so far. Love detective point-n-click games.
unlabelledView post →I'm actually doing another playthrough on Lamplight City because this game is nearly perfect. I recommend both it and Rosewater to so many people because they're just that good!

unlabelledView post →One is for a really big indie game (rhymes with Lina The Bollower) happening at the end of the month and I'm not sure if I can get a review by the 28th. Plus Dosa Divas, Walk the Frog, SuperStation One... Also still finishing Lamplight City for the podcast and then writing for podcast... WHEW! 🐝
unlabelledView post →Another slightly obsessive question: how much of Harley’s character was planned by the time Lamplight City came out, and what inspired you to center a game on Bill’s sister?
unlabelledView post →Okay, it's more than a "few" years old (2018) but Lamplight City might be the best detective game ever made.

unlabelledView post →I honestly think it's the best detective game ever made. Personally, A Golden Wake wasn't my favorite (though I've replayed it several times and have grown to like it more)... but Lamplight City is similar in all the ways Golden Wake was good... except LC is better. By a lot, IMO.
