Hugo II: Whodunit? description

The second part of a series about the Hugo. This time we will play not for himself but for the salvation in the first game and the girl Penelope. Having survived the adventures in the cursed house, the couple decided to go on vacation to England, where he plans to stay with Horace, uncle Hugo. However, this time mysteriously disappears, a young man, and she is forced to go on a rescue mission, but only after another incident – the murder of uncle Horace unknown unknown purpose.

The mechanics of the game remained the same, but along with the increase in the duration of the game increased and the number of puzzles, some of which were technically executed so poorly that in the end affected the difficulty. In addition, more clearly and more often began to come across situations in which the logic of the decision is seriously affected. Some situations may cause severe irritation and force to apply the technique of anger management in order to avoid injury of the keyboard. The emergence of a new element, detective quest the collection of evidence and interrogation of suspects with a subsequent conviction of the offender, also not fun, as it is implemented is not the best and not the best way built into the game is actually about the murder of Horace Penelope remembers only the last third of the game, while for incriminate someone of a crime the necessary things that are in the early stages of the game and which is easy to miss.

The space in which the action is considerably increased in comparison with the first part, it can barely be considered a plus, as the chart has not changed significantly, except that the backgrounds have become better. The same can be said about other aspects of the game: the author has focused on the extensive development of the idea, and the disadvantages become more convex and the game is objectively worse than the first part.
