Step into the mind of John Morley, a 1940s detective on his final case. Explore shadowed places long forgotten by time, and piece together crime scenes in a narrative adventure steeped in mystery, unexpected twists, and a truth buried for decades.
It is a shame that the gameplay lets this down so much as the story did hold my interest and I did enjoy how it all wrapped up, but the complete lack of detective work and a really dull middle section drags this title into the darkness.
While some periodic technical and control problems can be irksome, the atmosphere and general style of play have some appeal
“A cold-case detective thriller without genuine detecting” sounds more like a strange joke than proper description for this game. Combine that alongside poor storytelling and shoddy presentation, and it’s sad to say John Morley’s final case ends with a pitiful whimper rather than a bang.
Indigo Studios and Jandusoft draw us into a murder case that happened 20 years ago.
The Last Case of John Morley is a very short, but interesting noir detective story with outdated visuals and technical aspects. However, the developers chose not to create a hollow pretense of philosophical drama or a profound statement. What awaits you is a convoluted yet fairly simple detective story with a realistic ending.
