Of course I still had those moments of brief pause, until I found what I needed but it never took me nearly as long as it has in other point and clicks. I say ‘seemingly insignificant’ because, more often than not, that items turns out to be the one thing you needed to move forward. Point-and-click games are one of my favourite genres, but one of the biggest problems I have with them is the large amount of fumbling around you’re forced to do to find one very small, seemingly insignificant item. Each character, along with their skills, is well introduced into the narrative so there wasn’t any fumbling “I didn’t know they could do that!” moments. Each person has a unique set of skills that will help you along the way. Though the character you create is the one whose dialogue options you will choose throughout the game, you’ll also take control of numerous characters as you progress. Unavowed members Eli and Mandana manage to get the demon out of your body and, as you’re now technically a wanted murderer and unable to go back to the way things were, invite you to join them and start a new life with the Unavowed.
This puts you on the radar of the ‘Unavowed’ a group of “supernatural detectives” who seek out evil supernatural beings in order to stop them from doing any more harm to the Earth.
No matter what initial choices you make, your character ends up being possessed by a demon who goes on to kill dozens of people. Once you’ve chosen your character, the story begins and – here’s your warning – it will pull you in right away. Each of these choices ultimately changes some portions of the game (dialogue choices and locations mostly) but the main narrative beats stay the same. In Unavowed you first start out by choosing a gender and one of three career paths: actor, police officer, or bartender. It is a new, fresh look at the world of the unknown that allows players to walk about New York City discovering for themselves what could be lurking in the darkness. That’s what makes Unavowed, the latest point-and-click game from Wadjet Eye Games, so brilliant.
The same goes for other mythical beings like demons, elementals, dragons even. Everyone has their own interpretation of how ghosts act and feel. But, what I find so interesting is that no one has any real proof of their existence. There’s always been the question of whether or not they’re real.
