The Journey Down: Chapter One. This game is one that I see as worth playing. The game shows promise with amazing visuals and a relatively intriguing back story, which makes you wonder what will happen in future parts of the game. Everyone mentions the length of the game being short (which it was), but it seems like most point and click adventures from company's like this have been coming out in parts. While I do not agree with many reviewers that this game is at the Grim Fandango or Monkey Island level, I do think that it holds true to what these classics were all about. Something that Telltale and Doublefine have really fallen off the boat at times.

Pros:
Visuals and Animations
Music (Although a few songs are short and got a little repeatative)
Puzzles were not absurd and way out in left field

Neutral:
Length of game (about 2 hours x Three Parts = 6 hours theoretically)

Cons:
Puzzles were a little conservative and Main character offered too much help
Certain character voice acting seemed off and came off a little annoying
Inventory sometimes interfered with arrows for walking to another location

Overall a well developed game for a small studio
