Lost ember is an interesting concept explore past through memory's that you can trigger at certain locations to discover a history to the fallen world around you. You start off as a wolf, which is your main form throughout the game you can transition into a number other animals to assist you on your journey and reach areas that you could not as the wolf. I have to say my personal favourites were the hummingbird and the fish.

This was an absolutely outstanding game. I have to say I think this is one of the only games that I have ever played that has almost made me cry. Beautiful and emotive story telling that keeps you intrigued until the end which really hits you in the feels. The artwork is amazing if you enjoy taking pretty screenshots you'll have a field day with this. The music is just the icing on the cake some great choices to convey the emotions of the scene and very relaxing music that you can chill to as you soar through the sky or swim through the rivers.

There are one or two cons to the game the first is that unfortunately when you are a smaller animal travelling through tunnels there are some clipping issues so you can see through the tunnel wall into the rest of the world which is a shame as it really impacts immersion and I feel with a bit of fine tuning the could of avoided this. I encountered one bug where I got stuck in the phasing stage from mole to wolf, this only happened once and I think it was because I tried to phase in an area to small as the wolf phases backwards behind the creature you are in. Finally be aware of your surroundings I have got stuck transforming back into the wolf in an area where the wolf cant get out of and there are no animals to transform into.

Overall I would say this is a must recommend two of the issues I have faced I would have to say are player error, although even if they were not the story is so brilliant that it wouldn't matter. I will definitely be replaying this in the future.

This is by far my favourite mystery game, I have to say that every game i played previously and since playing Painscreek have been compared to it, and so far i have yet to find a game that gives me the same thrill, or that captures my interest in the same way that this game did. I can only hope that EQ studios will develop another mystery game sometime in the near future.

You play as Janet a young journalist trying to get her first big story by uncovering the mystery of what happened to Vivian Roberts. The atmosphere of Painscreek is quite ominous, on arrival you find that it is a deserted town population 0, but why? and why does it look like everyone has left in the midst of packing up there belongings?

Your free to explore the the town of Painscreek at your own leisure, there is no set path, and depending on the direction you take you may have some interesting encounters. Its advisable to take some notes, as your going to come across a lot of information, and you'll have to solve some puzzles in your quest to uncover the truth. Remember at the end of this you need to deliver a story to your publicist, and don't forget you need to take the perfect photo to sell your story.

So crack out your camera and notebook and settle in, and remember expect the unexpected as nothing is always what it seems.
