The Picton Files: The Peter & Paul Case

I’ve played several Strand games before, but this one has some interesting features: it’s a point and click adventure game.

You play as a detective with a perky assistant named Kit. Together, the two of you explore a house while she makes wisecracks. Just like older point and click adventures, you move your mouse around trying to find the right thing to click on.

It was fun overall; it reminded me of playing Under a Killing Moon on my dad’s pc as a kid (although looking that game up I can’t believe it was a sequel, I thought it was a standalone game). This game has more text though; historically, it’s similar to a lot of the games right on the transition from full-text with graphics to voice acted and/or animated graphical adventure games.
