PC Critic Reviews

I always appreciate it when a game treats its players as if they were intelligent adults, and Post Mortem does that in spades.

This atmospheric whodunit differs from others thanks to its moody film noir-style tone.

The unexpected twists and findings will help you really get into this title and see it as a worthy challenge, ideal for long winter nights... Beautifully conceived and just as well executed.

Tells a compelling story in an interesting way, and offers some novel twists on the occult murder theme. Not quite up to the old Gabriel Knight series, but one of the best adventures currently available.

Stylish and sophisticated.

One of the few adventures I’ve played where the story is more interesting than the puzzles. What I just said could be considered a left-handed compliment, since it could simply mean the puzzles are awful, but the puzzles in the game are fine – if not exactly frequent.

Most of the graphics capture that dark, dingy, European ambience almost as successfully as the Olive Garden.

The story is solid, the puzzles well integrated into the plot, and the pace is quick moving enough so that you can finish the game in about the same amount of time as you can finish a good suspense novel.

Recommended to die-hard adventure enthusiasts, Post Mortem would be better served by a bit more polish and dialogue work.

While its lacking on puzzles and this will leave you with a feeling of dissatisfaction, it is nonetheless a worthwhile adventure game that will hold us over while we wait for THE adventure game.
