Ok, there are several differences when you examine them close up, but the broad concepts, the elevator pitches are pretty similar and that’s an… interesting choice in a field that’s as relatively small and close-knit as the indie adventure game genre (WadjetEye worked with Gonzalez on his previous games, pretty much every voice actor in Lamplight has also worked on WadjetEye games, etc).
First is that a detective plagued by a spirit driving and helping them to solve cases is pretty close to the premise of WadjetEye’s Blackwell series. Oh and the spirit of his dead partner is haunting him. The game sees you playing as former police detective Miles Fordham, now reduced to being a private detective after accidentally killing his partner on a routine burglary investigation. The result is a bit disappointing though. It was described as a detective game set in an alternate history USA with steampunk elements, where your actions across half a dozen separate cases would affect the final outcome of the game. I really did love Shardlight though, so I had high hopes and expectations for Lamplight City as soon as I heard about it.
#SHARDLIGHT GUIDE SERIES#
Lamplight City is the latest game by Francisco Gonzalez, developer of Shardlight, (which I loved), A Golden Wake (which I’ve not played) and the Ben Jordan series (which I can never play, because it shares its name with one of my best friends and that’s just too weird for me).
