The Last Case of John Morley Review — Detective Game or Walking Simulator?

Описание: The Last Case of John Morley promises a gripping noir detective experience — but does it deliver actual investigation, or is it just a stylish walking simulator with a detective coat on?
Here's my full honest review after completing the entire case.

Set in an alternate 1940s, The Last Case of John Morley by Indigo Studios puts you inside Bloomsbury Manor to investigate a murder. The atmosphere is outstanding — moody lighting, unsettling audio, and a genuine sense of dread that carries you through the first hour. But the actual detective work? That's where things get complicated. I break down the gameplay loop, the pixel-hunting frustrations, the linear puzzle design, and whether the narrative payoff justifies the slower pacing. If you've been eyeing this on Steam and wondering whether it's worth the price, this review covers everything you need to know.
