Antioch: Scarlet Bay - A Quick Game Review

Antioch: Scarlet Bay is a cooperative online narrative adventure game. Its a game on 2 detectives trying to solve murder case together in the dark city of Antioch. One detective will be you and the another one can be your friend or just a bot. Its up to you! It is quite intriguing that the decision of each partner could differ, and the team working chemistry is a very important factor to the solving of the murder case. I loved how so many options were provided whenever I was looking into a detail or a conversation or a crime scene clue. Each option could lead to a different story ending! Thus, I found the journey quite exciting in the game.

First of all, I loved the classy artworks of the game with clever selection of beautiful colors to give the game a dark theme with detective vibes. It felt like as if we were working in the shadows to uncover the dark secrets. Additionally, the classy suspenseful music always kept me pumped up with lots of goosebumps. Honestly, I really loved the choice of background music that were used in the game. The devs have really worked nicely to provide us an amazing visual and auditory experience. The visuals and the music goes hand on hand with each other perfectly. Kudos to the Devs!

What is most intriguing is obviously the dramatic and multiple ending storyline with excellent dialogues and activity options! This game truly gives a real life like detective sensation to its players. The setup, plot and twists of the storyline is really jaw-dropping.  I really appreciated how multiethnic characters like Indians were included in the storyline. It really spices the things up in the game as it really really gives a great sense of depth to the the character personality. Plus it makes the story look more genuine.

Overall, I think the game is a masterpiece that you really need to try out! Jaw-dropping storyline, multiple endings, classic music and visual setup, mutl-ethnic NPC characters to investigate, lots of places in the map to speculate, and excellent dialogues makes the game too much fun!
