Imagist Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I don't know how many of you have seen this already but it's easily the best free flash game I've ever seen. It's got amazing artistic direction, live acting (not just voice), and pretty entertaining Phoenix Wright-esque gameplay (although a whole lot more focused on the evidence collection aspect). Bow Street Runner (link) Oh, and did I mention it's set in Georgian London? Historical accuracy to boot. Boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenwarlord Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Bow Street runners... The prelude to the British idea of a unified police and detective system. Although, if it's Phoenix Wright-esque its not early years runners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagist Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 It's only Phoenix Wright-esque in the gameplay (point-and-click style, questioning/talking to witnesses/suspects, plus some actions like picking locks that require dragging the mouse in certain shapes/patterns), not in the atmosphere or mood. I don't know what you consider "early" for the Runners, but the exact year is 1754, after John Fielding took over for his brother. It's incredibly entertaining, regardless.

Chickenwarlord Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Ugh...stitching up wounds is obnoxious! They're fairly well crafted, if a bit on the easier side. I'm going to trust they get harder as the series goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 this was cool until episode 3 when the evidence presentation suddenly became ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagist Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Yeah I forgot to warn you that that aspect of it gets a little crazy. I actually failed for the first time on Episode IV (my first time missing esteem). Thankfully Episode V is ridiculously easy, although Episode V in general is a little weird (I don't want to spoil it for anyone). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 ep 4 was pretty strange, yeah 'show me proof that there is corruption on a wider scale' 'the shipping master guy smuggled contraband in' 'NO THIS IS NOT PROOF' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenwarlord Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hmm... the only one I had any trouble with was #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagist Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 I highly recommend hitting the help button in the top-right and taking a look at the hints during evidence presentation. The hints help clarify the questions (although they don't answer them for you, not at all), so much so that it's almost as if they should have been designed as part of the original question.
