Linda Brown: Interactive Story vs The Walking Dead: Michonne
Linda Brown: Interactive Story
Linda Brown: Interactive Story is The Other Guys' forey into the interactive storytelling business after their pretty good sucess with the Sherlock-themed hidden objects game, Sherlock Holmes: Lost Detective. Similar to the latter, this game features an intriguing and immersive, romance-and-mystery-filled story where you'll be playing as Linda Brown herself. Meet a host of interesting characters (and you can even date some of them), travel to various locations as you follow the trail of clues, and make important decisions that will change the path of your narrative.However, unlike games like Episode or Choices, Linda Brown: Interactive Story has a gameplay that is a lot similar to any of the games Telltale Games produced. This means that characters in the game will remember your reactions or responses and act accordingly the next time you meet.
The only major downside in this game is that, like Episodes and Choices, there are special "premium decisions" that you can make to further deepen the storyline, but the diamonds needed to buy these special decisions can be pretty costly - $3 per premium decision. Due to this, it might be great to have the option of earning diamonds by watching video ads.
Overall though, Linda Brown: Interactive Story is still a very well-written interactive story that doesn't only have romantic elements but also an intriguing mystery that rivals most hidden objects games. If you enjoy a good mystery with a dash of romance, this is the game you should play.
The Walking Dead: Michonne
The Walking Dead: Michonne is somewhat of a spin-off from the story-rich game series, The Walking Dead by Telltale Games. Dubbed as a miniseries, this game lets you play as the iconic, blade-wielding and fiercely independent lady from The Walking Dead universe, Michonne. In her shoes, you'll get to explore the time when Michonne's absence between issues #126 and #139 of the series' comic book and what made her returned to her old group of survivors, and to some extent friends, in three brilliantly detailed episodes.Of course, players will get to make important, story-changing decisions on Michonne's behalf and experience the world as she did. The Walking Dead: Michonne is an interactive game that will fill in the missing part of the storyline for fans of The Walking Dead comic book series.
