Features & Capabilities

A steampunk-ish detective adventure from the creator of A Golden Wake and Shardlight! Can private investigator Miles Fordham find justice for his clients and track down his partner's killer before his entire world comes apart? • "I fostered a lifelong love for the adventure genre, culminating in a Purple Tentacle tattoo (Day of the Tentacle, duh) on my upper left arm.

Trust." - Rock, Paper, Shotgun • "Overall, this game has a lot going for it, and I encourage you to check it out even if you’re not an adventure game buff." - Hey Poor Player

ABOUT THE GAME The Gateway to Vespuccia, the City of Air and Light, Lamplight City - the thriving port city of New Bretagne is a beacon of progress and industrial advancement in the New World. Yet beneath the promises of a shining 19th-century future, the city rests upon foundations of poverty, class struggle, and crime.

For police detective turned private investigator Miles Fordham, Lamplight City's shadowy corners are just part of the territory. But with his former partner constantly speaking to him from beyond the grave, his grip on sanity is slowly loosening. Can Miles find justice for his clients and track down his partner's killer before his entire world comes apart?

Lamplight City is a detective adventure set in an alternate steampunk-ish "Victorian" past.

FEATURES • Be the detective you want to be. But prepare to face the consequences. Investigate crime scenes, interrogate suspects, get information by any means necessary. Follow the law or make your own rules, but how you choose to act will affect people's attitudes towards you. • Five cases to solve, with multiple suspects, false leads, and different outcomes. Never find yourself stuck in a dead-end situation. If the case becomes unsolvable, simply move on to the next one. The story will adapt based on your choices. • Single click interface with no inventory. Gather clues and documents in your casebook for review. Item manipulation is handled via a context-sensitive cursor. • A fictional city with four boroughs to explore, each with their own unique flavor. Players will visit each of these boroughs throughout the game, exploring themes such as class divide and the public's fear of emerging steam tech. • Inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Dickens. • Meet over 50 professionally voiced characters. • Original score by Mark Benis.

The scenes , voice acting, and pixel art are quite beautiful. As a point and click it’s just okay, you really don’t use items to solve puzzles, it’s all dialog. The major problem is the writing is woke, and when we see it in our culture, we need to downvote it. If “ culture” has any hope of becoming “art” it has to say something true about the human experience… “woke” is a lie in the service of social engineering. If you’re lying, you can’t say anything true. (This is why there is no longer any good movies / tv shows / games) Luckily we’re rounding a corner as a society and this nonsense isn’t nearly as prevalent, but we should salt the earth where we see it.

Too much banter
by Gi*****, 2025-07-17

The atmosphere and setting are great…unfortunately the game consists simply of long winded conversations that have little bearing on the plot. There really is not any problem solving, just moving from irrelevant conversation to irrelevant conversation. Only about 20% of the dislogue is useful and of that, only about another 20% is interesting. Unfortunate as I’m a big fan of other games by the makers and folks involved in producing it. Was hoping for a steam punk Gabriel Knight…unfortunately got little more than a meandering script for a bad WB pilot…
