The XboxSquad editorial team offers mini reviews of lesser-known indie games through their indie box section. One such game is Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey, a find/point & click game that explores the Jack the Ripper murders with a supernatural twist. The game follows a duo of inspectors, Du Lac and Fey, whose witty and sarcastic dialogues add to the game’s charm. However, the game’s technical issues, such as slow screen transitions and unresponsive commands, make the experience frustrating. Despite this, the game tackles difficult topics like poverty, prostitution, and drugs without resorting to gore or excessive violence. The game is available in VOSTFR, with English dialogue and French subtitles. Overall, while the game has its flaws, it offers an engaging and suspenseful investigation into the infamous Jack the Ripper murders.
I loved:
- The spicy and refreshing duo of heroes
- No theme eluded (prostitution, drugs, misery)
- The Jack the Ripper Murders Revisited
- Interface and subtitles in French
I am sorry:
- The disheartening extreme slowness of the characters
- Interactions with objects and documents are painful
