2K View2022-12-01

Antioch: Scarlet Bay is a cooperative online narrative adventure game. With an amazing storyline unfolding with lots of plots and twists, the two detectives are on the job to solve a murder case in the city of Antioch. With lots of places to go in the map, we have to gather the clues and evidences to solve the mystery case as soon as possible with our partner. Our partner can be a bot or our friend. The game also demands to have a good team understanding between the partners, because with conflicting choice of options can doom the case or give us an alternate ending that we want. Now you must have realized that this game has multiple endings depending upon our selection of words and choices. I was very intrigued by the excellent dialogues in this game. The vibe of the game is setup by suspenseful background music and dark themed artworks with amazing selection of colors. So far, this is one of the best narrative adventure game that I have played so far in the mobile game platform.

I was pretty impressed on how each individuals in the game are given a really good depth of personality with multi-racial background and location setup. On top of that, you can have your friend to play together with you to solve the mystery case. Your partner may not be always be co-operative with you and it can lead to various story endings depending upon the choices and activity selection that each player makes. Thus, the same storyline can be quite diverse with different perspective. I totally loved this game while playing with my friend. Team compatibility is very crucial in this game.

Great dialogues are best served with great character voiceovers. But this game does not have character voiceovers, which I think is my only big dissatisfaction in this game. Character voiceovers could have given more depth to the individual personality of the character. Some players could experience more impact with landscape gaming mode rather than the portrait mode. But it was quite fine for me. The selection of background music is really good, which gives a suspenseful vibes and a sense of 70's or 80's detective story.

In my opinion, this game is a true beauty with superb story plot and amazing characters. The music and visuals give a great vibrancy to the game. The story, visuals and music are so well connected that it feels like real life-like event where we can enjoy being great detectives on a hunt of the criminal. Thus, I would say that this game is really "Worth Playing!"
