When Cing closed its doors in 2010, it was pretty devastating. It was a great developer, using Nintendo's gimmicks without distracting the player from well-written, heartfelt stories. Its best work will always be the Kyle Hyde mysteries - Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and Last Window: The Secret of Cape West - which still remain, in my mind at least, the purest representation of neo-noir in video games.
So it was actually a joy to see Kaisuke Tanasaki, director of Hotel Dusk, along with several key Cing alumi, come in from the wild with a new melancholic crime drama. But even with my expectations in check, this latest adventure - in which two Japanese detectives dig up past crimes - felt a little off. It was time to investigate why.
