    It’s such a damn bummer, because we have all the makings and outlines of something truly grand. The voice acting, though it continually deviates from the written text, is performative and solid. The characters are varied and engaging, and I like that there are multiple endings and paths depending on who you partner up with.

    Graphically, Chinatown Detective Agency looks great with its hybrid of pixelated environments and realistic portraits. On the other hand, sometimes the pixelwork doesn’t deliver puzzles well, which is itself a significant deterrent to finding the solution. Maybe that was the point, but it was a frustrating problem to overcome. Audibly, Chinatown Detective Agency had some classy piano pieces, and the voice acting was generally well-delivered, but the aforementioned blemishes remain.
