Nice music and graphics.**Few consFew places with pixel huntingFew weird puzzles (I don't mean the combination puzzles, but rather general "use that on there").Linear story. Bottomline at the top: This felt like an early Sierra game, nice artwork, interesting story, and obscure puzzles with moon logic. If your a P&C fan and can find this on sale give it a go!Pros-------------------------------------------------Nice background art.-I like the notebook mechanic. Reminds me of other games I've enjoyed (Gabriel Knight, Kathy Rain, Lamplight City)-The going back between the main game and reading the fantasy book worked well in my opinionMeh.-------------------------------------------------Voice acting is hit or miss. Most of the main characters are decent, but a couple of minor characters sound like friends of the developer-No fast traveling across screen with double click. Also that map was only available in certain locations.-No autosave. There was a rewind feature if you are unable to do a necessary action in time.-At $7 normal asking price, this game would feel a little pricey for 5 hours of game play.-The ending was unexpected. Not in a bad way, but not in a great way either. Cons-------------------------------------------------There was a bug for me where hitting the escape key completely froze the cursor in game. It happened a few times when i meant to just enter the save menu. Ended up replaying a few parts multiple times. Needless to say it was incredibly annoying.-Had a bug where i could not give the dragon the right bowl of water and needed a reload-There was a lack of custom responses for certain actions that didn't do anything (i.e. combining some items that could not be combined at best gave you a generic "I cant use x on y" or at worse didn't say anything at all.) It would have been nice for there to be a few programmed one liners or something that just didn't feel so generic-There were several completely non-intuative puzzles and a few were incredibly difficult (I didn't memorize the number of Hercules' labours in school nor would I have picked up a vague poem's reference to them in game. Nor would I have guessed to use the duct tape on certain places or use a the cutting saw at just the right moment). Definitely needed a walkthrough.-Game felt to be in a pretty low resolution. I couldn't tell the main characters telephone in his apartment from just a green blob. There is more than a little pixel hunting in this game and the low resolution just makes it all the more difficult.Its a nice afternoon P&C jaunt across a murder mystery and a fantasy story. As long as you can wait for a Steam sale and you have your walkthrough handy, I'd recommend giving this one a go.. Thanks for the game, awesome setting and story - I really enjoyed it.Didnt like the hectic rush and dead end parts that much.. I loved this game. very simple game play, lovely story. Love the retro graphics. Worth playing. This is a classic point-and-click adventure game with the standard bizarre inventory and dialogue puzzles. Some puzzles are pretty clever, but most are uninspired or kind of weird. What makes The Samaritan Paradox stand out is its two concurrent storylines: the political thriller in the present (investigating the death, searching for the novel) and the fantasy story segments (the chapters of the novel). However, the ending slaps you in the face with incredibly dark/sensitive subject matter in a really crass and weird way and that soured the whole experience for me. I am angry now even seeing this game in my library.. A good enough point and click, would reccomend to fans of the genre even if it is too adventure game-y and arbitrary at times. It kept me engaged for a good few hours.What the in god's name was that ending though? Real talk.I have no idea what the developers were thinking. I really, really, really wanted to like this game. The style is awesome, I love point and click games with the old pixelated style. The voice acting is also well done. Unfortunately, beyond that, things are a mess.The gameplay is very flawed. There will be instances where you need to click on a very specific area, but it can take a few tries since there is no indicator as to what is the right spot. Sometimes, the puzzles are completely obscure and make no sense. Figuring out how to move through them will make you scratch your head.The biggest flaw though, comes from the story. It is okay up until the end, and then everything just falls apart. Nothing is resolved, nothing makes sense, and honestly it just ruins the entire game. I seriously don't know what they were thinking.Give this one a pass, there are much better options - please see The Last Door or the Blackwell series.. Quite possibly the best game of 2014.. Ok, I have to be honest about this: I've only played The Samaritan Paradox for maybe four hours, having bought it as part of an indie-bundle. So I didn't make it even halfway into the story, but the fact that I couldn't get myself to play it any further, speaks for itself of course. I also have to say that it has been quite some time since I last played a real point-click-adventure before this one, but I did play quite some of them in the highdays of the genre so I know what it's all about.When I first started The Samaritan Paradox, I was surprised to see a heavily pixelated graphical sryle that reminded me instantly of the Commodore 64-days. This is not a bad thing per se, but the way the graphics are implemented in this case, did prove to have its share of problems. There are almost no settings or options to change the graphical quality, so whatever I tried to do, I got stuck with a game where I often needed to find the EXACT pixel to click in order to get interaction with a smaller sized object. That felt pretty ok for me in the 1980's, but knowing it can be a lot better done, I felt baffled to have to do this all over again in the 2010's. Apart from this gameplay-related problem, the graphics do quite a decent job to get across some mood or general idea of a place or person, given all the limitations. However, to continue along the technical part, the entire inventory-system (crucial in any point&click-adventure) worked out rather awkward for me. The inventory-bar at the bottom of my screen kept popping in and out of view, more often than not interfering in the wrong way with the gameplay. Surely a lock-on or -off option is necessary here.As far as the core of the game goes: the story starts off interesting enough, but didn't keep my attention well enough to make me keep playing despite the graphical and inventory-related problems. Dialogues and characterization are below average, and the music was so tedious that I turned it off almost immediately. Even then, I guess I would have continued longer than I actually did were it not for the unforgiving way the game handles puzzles, both great and small. I am totally fine with an adventure-game being challenging or even tough (hardcore would be the term I think of for this game), but there should be some kind of hints-system when one is searching for the right pixel clicking over and over again, and even more so when some of the actions asked for are not logical in any way. All too often the game would only give the opportunity to continue when I'd done a very specific action, such as reading the backside of a book in detail or finding an obscure note, which did not prove any fun for me. Maybe, even probably, I more like casual adventure-games, and this game is definitely not casual in any way, despite its low-budget appearance.But the one thing that finally made me put the game away prematurely, was the fact that after using the Steam overlay-function (as to check for the needed achievements, or just for chatting), the text-boxes in the game - pretty important in this kind of game - started flickering and became unreadable, which was a true game-breaker for me. So in the end, despite the interesting story and the original but highly quirqy graphical style, I'd give this a negative recommendation, except probably for hardcore adventure-gamers who are willing to put lots of time and effort into this despite its shortcomings. It's not my cup of tea, that's for sure.Gameplay: 18/30Graphics: 10/20Sound: 3/10Technical (stability etc): 3/10 (the text-box flickering after using the Steam-overlay is too ba)Logelivety: 5/10 (if played to the end, there is quite some gameplay here)Steam integration: 7/10 (for the achievements and trading cards, but they are not particular nice)Personal appreciation: 5/10Overall: 51/100 Whispers of a Machine - new game by the developer - is in production!: Hello,Faravid Interactive and Clifftop Games (Kathy Rain), are proud to announce the new game-in-production Whispers of a Machine.
