    I miss the old point and click adventure games. Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within, Black Dahlia, The Pandora Directive, Tex Murphy, Ripper. If you've also *cough* Myst *cough* playing these classics, consider it lucky that Among the Innocent: A Stricken Tale is here to scratch that nostalgic itch. And possibly also make you want to scratch out your eyeballs as you fail at figuring out yet another puzzle.

    A beautiful, mysterious adventure and an artistic take on the rural scenery of South Africa, Among the Innocent: A Stricken Tale is a thriller for lovers of the point-and-click genre. Its good story and the great twist that ends it, coupled with immersive visual design, soundtrack, and sound effects, make its lack of a challenge its only weakness, but not one damaging enough to take away from the overall experience.

    While Among the Innocent has a solid foundation for a tense psychological thriller, this exceptionally short game as a whole never really comes together and is neither intriguing or scary.

    Very short (2-3 hours), introduces supernatural elements out of nowhere with no explanation, puzzles are more obtrusive than clever, manyVery short (2-3 hours), introduces supernatural elements out of nowhere with no explanation, puzzles are more obtrusive than clever, many spelling mistakes. I wouldn't even play this as a baby's-first-point-and-click-exploration-puzzle game. Expand
