Still
Life

The emotional impact of being treated to almost 15 minutes of gameplay
were similar to the feelings evoked when viewing a movie like Seven or Silence
of the Lambs: fright and repulsion while searching a gory
murder scene, elation and trepidation as you chase a murder suspect
through a back alley in a splendid cut-scene and mental exhaustion
from the unrelenting suspense.

Still Life
is composed of two convergent storylines; the serial killings in
modern day Chicago and Gus McPherson’s case in late 1920’s
Prague. The Prague storyline is activated whenever Victoria reads
her grandfather’s case files. The Chicago storyline is an ongoing
investigation that dovetails nicely with these ‘flashbacks’

The gritty story, combined with Syberia-like quality graphics leave
a lingering, haunting impression that lives on long after the light
of your monitor has flickered out.
