Hi there! I'm back again with another content, that being another game review, of a game I recently found and finished. Now, let's get into it!
The Girl in the Window is a point and click game developed and published by the Dark Dome. It was released, as in the Play Store, back in November 2019. It weighs around less then 50MB, making it playable in many phones. The size also goes along with the its gameplay which is rather short, but it's indeed rich of qualities that lead me to grow fond of it. Without further ado, let's dive into the game!
The Story
"20 years ago, there was a mysterious murder. The case was never solved and the house was abandoned from that moment on. Villagers claimed to see strange things inside the house."
We will find ourselves as a man who makes his way into a house in some obscure neighborhood. Apparently, the house was no ordinary one, as it is the witness of an unsolved crime, a murder of a girl who lived there. Our character who is enticed by something odd makes his way into the house, but upon entering it, the door suddenly shut, leaving him clueless inside. This turn of event, will lead us to turn the house upside down to find the way out of this place. Inside the house, we'll be met with haunting apparitions of the girl and discover what truly happened back then.
The Gameplay
Like most point and click adventure games, these game relies on puzzles and the plot itself as the main content. The puzzles are fine, in terms of difficulty and creativity, it is to me a good starting point for beginners who want to give the genre a shot. If you happen to stuck in any of the puzzles, worry not, because the hint is available to access through one click of an icon with no ads required. The theme/music for the game blends in just fine, especially in terms how it help making us feel a bit on edge. The visuals/artworks of the game is quite similar to those of the Rusty Lake series, not that its a straight copy of it, but I just find it neat (I just really like the style in short). Another thing worth mentioning is the cutscenes that are played occasionally throughout the game, which is a really good touch!
Overall Thought
The game is one fresh addition to the genre, speaking of the mobile games, as I haven't found any recent point and click games that I found as interesting as this one. The story (especially the twist), the theme, and the visuals really did a good job in composing the game and making an overall legit playing experience. So in the end, I would give the game an 8 out 10 for it! Oh, I almost forgot, this game is part of a bigger world building series from the same developer, I believe it ties in with other games such as the Unwanted Experiment, Nowhere House, and the upcoming Ghost Case game. So be sure to give them all a taste and stay tune for their future installments. As for Dark Dome itself, well done! I really enjoy the game, can't wait for your next coming projects!
