I’m not sure if this stems from voice overs being recorded at different times and places, or if some of the dialogue is from the 2014 release and new dialogue was added for this version, but while It’s distracting, it’s not game breaking. The game does feature voiceover, although there are strange issues with voice overs changing tone and possibly even actors during conversations. Almost every NPC you encounter can be spoken to, with varying degrees of success as to whether they provide interesting information or just a generic response, but the narrator tends to comment on the ones with nothing to say, providing some humorous moments. Players complete tasks by wandering through towns, forests, abandoned ruins, desolate caves, shipyards, and more and interacting with nearly everyone and everything they see. The gameplay is exactly what you’d expect from the genre. It’s refreshing to have a character that is so upfront about everything, and the game’s NPCs seem to appreciate it as well, as Roehm has a knack of making nearly everybody he meets like him. Unlike others attempting to find the Eye of Jaager, Roehm just wants to make money and is never shy about his true feelings. He, along with a sarcastic narrator, spouts off immature humor, makes jokes at nearly everybody’s expense, and essentially has a jolly good time as the world around him gets bleaker and more confusing. Roehm is nonchalant and takes everything, including meeting a talking bear, in hilarious stride.

It is a hilariously written adventure about a man, named Roehm, who wanders into town attempting to kill some time until a bridge is repaired and finds himself roped into a much larger scheme involving bandits, mysterious cults, a talking bear, shady law enforcement officials, wizards, fortune tellers, drunks, and so much more all on a quest to find the Eye of Jaager, a mysterious stone with a devastating back story. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy my time with Quest for Infamy.
QUEST FOR INFAMY CHAIN OR RITUAL KNIFE PC
Originally released on PC in 2014, everything from Quest for Infamy oozes 90’s – from the graphics, the gameplay, the story, the humor, and the frustration that stems from the point-and-click design – only this time the game does not have the added help of nostalgia making it a bit harder to overlook some of the flaws. Quest for Infamy, for better or worse, nearly perfectly replicates the games that it mimics, so much so that players would be hard pressed to believe that this game wasn’t made in the 90s. Nearly all the original point-and-click games remain fun, especially the Monkey Island series, but it’d be a lie to pretend that they didn’t have issues that are hard to overlook in modern times. Those of us that grew up with these games view them with near blinding nostalgia that helps us overlook some of the incredibly difficult and obtuse puzzles these titles had and the frustration that stems from the often-confusing design. Each class takes you on a different course throughout your quest making it ever so unique.Point-and-click adventure games have been making a slow, but steady resurgence in recent years, long after initially gaining popularity in the early 90s mainly thanks to Lucasfilm’s incredible releases and Ron Gilbert’s fantastic Monkey Island series.
