About
"Lux, City of Secrets" is a 2D pixel art detective adventure game. You play as a private investigator uncovering the city's secrets while solving mysterious cases. Engage in dialogues, gather clues, and use your wits to reveal the truth in this noir-inspired narrative.
- The Evertree Saga offers a well-written, interconnected story with memorable characters and engaging mysteries that reward careful reading and exploration.
- The game features a high level of replayability, allowing players to experience different outcomes and character interactions based on their choices.
- The character building is diverse, with various races and professions that influence gameplay, making each playthrough feel unique.
- The third installment feels incomplete and shorter than previous entries, ending on a cliffhanger that may frustrate players looking for a standalone experience.
- The energy mechanic limits player actions within a short timeframe, making it difficult to explore all available storylines and character relationships.
- Some players found the game overly challenging, with a sense of constant failure that detracted from the enjoyment of the story.
story45 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is described as a contiguous narrative that connects multiple books in the series, with significant character and plot development across installments. While the writing is praised for its depth and engagement, many reviewers express disappointment in the story's brevity and the feeling that it serves primarily as a setup for future installments, leaving several plot threads unresolved. Overall, the branching paths and character choices offer replayability, but some players feel that the lack of satisfying conclusions detracts from the experience.
“The story is very well-written, and I recommend you play Evertree Inn and Sordwin before playing this, because by then you'll be missing a lot.”
“An amazing thing about this series is that you can notice obvious connections between all of its parts, so the story flow goes really smoothly.”
“But the real draw here, of course, is continuing your own character's story through a continuum of characters and actions that build to a unique story of your own choosing, and on that front, I was more than satisfied.”
“Sadly, we need to wait for the second part of the book (Lux, City of Lies) to conclude this book's story. I've seen another comment complaining that there are a lot of cases and yet, barely any conclusion in this book.”
“I was eager for a continuation, but this tries way too hard to give you 'hard' choices that your character cannot succeed in no matter your choices, and doesn't follow through on any of the plot hooks it sets up.”
“This game is even shorter than the first one, and only serves to set up the failures that trap you into the story's plot without advancing it, or giving the player any sense of accomplishment at all.”
