Description: In the alternative in 1850, Vespukkiya – the former British colony, which has not received independence, was experiencing his gold fever. You play for Harley Lege, a journalist who arrives in the provincial town of Roswater to start a new life. But instead of calm work in the newspaper, you will find a meeting with the charismatic adventurer Jake Akerman and his team, which goes in search of the legendary treasure of Dr. Clark. Rosewater is a classic Point-And-Click Adventure with a deep plot, where your decisions affect the fate of not only heroes, but also entire cities.
The gameplay combines the traditional mechanics of the genre with unexpected innovations. Instead of an endless enforcement of objects in the inventory, each puzzle is logical here: the hacking of the castle demands to find the code in the diaries, and the salvation of the wounded coyote is to collect the necessary herbs. Dialogs are a real strong side: you can ask the characters about their past, threaten skeptics or find non -standard solutions (for example, bribe a bartender of rare whiskey instead of a fight). The team of fellow travelers-from the Mexican revolutionary Phil to the Indian scientist Nadin-is not just a background: their stories are revealed through side quests, and relations with them determine the final.
Visually, Rosewater resembles the classics of the 90s like Beneath A Steel Sky, but with modern studies. Rotoscoping of animations of characters contrasts with the picturesque backgrounds of the prairies, mining villages and abandoned laboratories. The soundtrack of Mark Benis perfectly conveys the atmosphere: guitar interruptions for evening bonfires are replaced by disturbing string in moments of danger. A special charm is given by mini-games like shooting at targets or excavations of fossils-they are not required, but immerse them in the game.
