Linda Brown: Interactive Story vs Twilight Town
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.
Twilight Town
Twilight Town is a pretty complicated-looking hidden object game that may bring to mind format of other similar HO games like Mystery Manor. There are many locations around town where you can play a variety of hidden object game modes ranging from the usual word lists to unique phenomenon-driven modes that will distort the scene you''re looking for hidden objects in. The game also has a pretty impressive diversity of power-ups, mini-games, roaming enemies, and collectibles to spice things up.As each scene is linked to a location on the city map, the game has a bit of a city-building element where you'll spend money and materials to "restore" buildings as you progress, and manage the supplies that arrive at the docks of the city. You can even improve your reputation with the residents in the city by simply taking care of their needs and troubles. Not to mention, the game is also somewhat story-driven, which basically will put you right in the middle of an impending war between the vampires and werewolves in Twilight Town. Naturally, the good townsfolk will also be severely affected by this conflict.
So, the fate of Twilight Town and its people are now in your hands. Will you be able to follow the trail of clues and put a stop to the mysterious and evil plotters who intend on seeing the town in ruins?
