This game will introduce you to many characters with crazy connections to the point that I didn't know who is who anymore! It started slow as Taryn Sharpe, the protagonist received a phone call from her boss to meet a celebrity chef who will open a new restaurant but of course, things turned upside down and he is dead. Now turning from a journalist...

Overview
Journalist-turned-food critic Taryn Sharpe and her assistant/photographer George Haske are sent on assignment to France to cover the opening of Paris's hottest new restaurant, Le Roi Soleil. When they get there, they discover the restaurant's celebrity chef is dead and the circumstances are suspicious. Strangely, the police rule the death a suicide and refuse to investigate. The restaurant's owner (an old friend of Taryn's) is convinced his star chef was murdered and begs her and George to find the culprit.

It is short and feels cheap at some points, so I can only fully recommend it to HOG enthusiasts who should have quite some fun with it. Long version: Despite its 2014 release date, Sharpe Investigations: Death on the Seine plays...

I really disliked the fact that they made fun of a guy who died in the first few minutes in a kitchen freezer... a worse way could have been death in a chocolate fountain? WTF is that joke? and right after it they make you pick...
