After almost 2 hours I managed to finish espisode one. I realy enjoyed the humor and art style. Sometimes walking within the game can be a bit tedious. It is also quite a short game currently. Although, the soundtrack almost makes it worth the purchase alone... Well worth it if you get it now for just over 4 US dollars. But the original asking price seems to be a bit steep with the current ammount of features. TL;DR: worth it if you can buy it on sale.

Enjoyable point & click adventure. It plays nice: the voiceovers are great, soundwork is nice, writing is good, animation is good, gameplay is nice if a bit short (~90 minutes or so), you have to enjoy puns (beware the alley-gate-oar). It runs in 1280x720 (or in 848x480, which is presumably good for tablets?) and it runs well on my old XP box, so that's nice. I'd say it's priced about right for what it delivers.

This game was reviewed using a code sent by the developer. A bumbling English gentleman goes on an adventure to discovery the mystery murderer. I have to say, I did have a lot of fun, and I found myself laughing out loud at times at the dialogue. I have a lot of time for games that actually include voice acting in point and click adventures, as they really make it a better experience, and Bertram Fiddle's dialog is extra special with the witty English humour, puns and plenty of pop-culture references. Story is well presented. The game starts out with your characters wife (I assume it's his wife) ordering you to get a proper job, but first she sends you on an errand, to get her dog groomed! This is when the plot starts! This is the first part of what I assume to be three or four more games. Controls, these are pretty much a formality. Point and click with your mouse to interact with o

Generally speaking I just don't have the sort of brain that does me much good when it comes to adventure games and their unique brand of logic - that being said, this particular title came into my possession via a bundle, and against my better judgment I decided to give it a quick whirl. As it happens, I wound up playing it straight through to the end in one go; not a major accomplishment, since the episode doesn't last much beyond an hour or two, but aside from the occasional "oh, wait, the screen scrolls further here?" moment the pieces fit together in a way that even my point-n-click-challenged cranium could keep up with, and the quirkily appealing artwork and voice acting (just beware, when the trailer mentions copious groan-worthy puns, it means it) did a good job of selling the cartoonish Victorian pomposity that this brief, silly detective caper is built upon. I can only imagin
