The St Christopher's School Lockdown

The game is a great puzzler for everyone that ever played the classics from LucasArts and Sierra. Altho this is the studio's first ever published game and therefore feels a bit rough around the edges, the team managed to put together an interesting and compelling plot with storylines people can relate to. + Interesting story + good narration + clever puzzles in the form of mini-games that can be repeated at leasure - rough around the edges. some solutions can be seen as far-fetched - playing the anti-hero may feel forced for some people. i give it a 7/9. would play again. :)

I don't really know where to begin. I guess I should start by saying that I wish Steam gave you an option for when your opinion on a game is mixed. Do you recommend this game? Yes or No... I need a "Maybe" option, because that's what this game would get. However, I would still say that my opinion on this game is mostly on the negative side. Pros: - Cool, fun(ny) characters - Vibrant graphics/art style - Strong writing - Good voice acting - Unique story - Logical solutions to puzzles - Ambitious Cons: - Plagued with numerous potentially game-altering or experience-ruining bugs - Far fetched solutions to puzzles - Nancy Drew-like puzzles that aren't fun - Inconsistent inventory - Despite having sections with voice acting, most of the game is text - Empty, unfinished storylines - The ending The bugs/issues (major ones): - Music doesn't play when you load your game - Static/Popping recorded in certain music tracks - "Tab to see hotspots" feature that's in most point and c...

I liked this game for the old school point & click adventure-ness of it all. The story kept my interest and had quite a few twists and turns to it. I did think the end was tiny bit rushed. When I get that much of a twist, I would have liked a bit more time to process. Also - don’t want to give spoilers, but you aren’t playing a hero here. Your character is a not so great person who does not so great things. Game time is estimated in the description at 8 hours. Don’t see who finishes their 1st run in that time if they explore everything and don’t use a walkthrough. It took me about 19 hrs and most of the reviews here so far I see are at 15+ hrs. Play time is definitely worth the price. The most challenging part of the game for me was in the adventuring of ‘how do I solve the story goals/predicaments.’ One I particularly liked was being locked in a group of 3 rooms. The devs load up your inventory with about 30 items – making it difficult to toss inventory items ...

“The St Christopher’s School Lockdown is a subversive, irreverent point-and-click adventure set in a prestigious British Institute. We strive to provide gamers with a stunning hand-drawn visual art style, thoughtful puzzles and minigames, and memorable writing.” This game delivers everything that’s promised the most noticeable immediately on starting the game the wonderful art style. I found the story immediately engaging wondering how the protagonist had managed to land up where she did & why, but during the course of the game you do learn of her predicament through playing through some different scenarios she was involved in prior to arriving at the school. This is a regular PnC adventure in the ‘traditional’ vein that incorporates into the plot, as well as picking-up & use of inventory, some very nice puzzles & a series of mini-games that grew on me although I think you only need to play one of them to progress. One of the most impressive aspects about this game wa...

****1/2 A classic-style point-and-click adventure with a unique and eye-catching graphic novel art style. The characters are well written, dialogue is believable and well acted, and the environment feels very well lived-in, with a great use of flavour text to maximize humour and character by describing the world through the character's eyes and personality. The only flaw I can think to mention is a few interface issues that can get annoying but should definitely not stop you from playing this little gem. Fans of standard point-and-click adventures will find a lot to enjoy here. Intermittent mini-games keep the game fresh with some variety, each one being challenging, fun, and clever. The Voodoo Wars mini-game is also quite a blast, though I've only found a couple opportunities to play it so far (I've finished a single playthrough and likely missed out on a lot of content). The game's difficulty starts very low, as though the game was more of an interactive graphic novel than a prope...

An extremely interesting and entertaining look at class division in Britain via a private school protest attended by well-meaning, sympathetic teenagers who are nonetheless ill-prepared and kind of ignorant of their own privilege, through the eyes of Kayleigh, a young woman with much more serious and urgent problems, who has to balance keeping her head down, helping out the people around her, and looking out for an opportunity to steal something valuable and leg it. Slightly janky at times but great voice-acting and phenomenal writing, this is a criminally overlooked title. Highly recommend.
