Read my full review on Adventure Game Hotspot!
Excerpt: "In development for nearly a decade, NoseBound attracted my attention as a classic detective noir mystery with a distinct graphical style, but its limitations make it feel more like a carnival funhouse ride where you’re stuck on rails most of the time. While I largely enjoyed the setting, the main character, the easy user interface, and even the trial-and-error save-your-own-life parts, there was no real challenge, the flaws kept piling up, and the story just wasn’t engrossing enough to allow me to look past them. What’s worse is that the ending made me feel as if I was watching a convoluted David Lynch movie. The game was originally announced as episodic, but with no sign of a cliffhanger or more to come, it seems this will be the first and last Ray Hammond story – but perhaps not quite the end, as I sincerely hope the developers are able to patch most of the technical issues and let the better parts of this currently rough-edged mystery shine through."
