    Having as its focal point a topic that will never cease to preoccupy humanity, boasting ideal scaling of the plot and being equipped with one of the best characters' roster that a representative of adventure games can present, it makes us already expect the first announcement regarding the beginning of its sequel's production.

    Yet another story about ordinary people turned into monsters by uniforms, but one of few games that manage to tell such a story really well. [06/2015, p.74]

    Graphic adventure fans are living a second golden age of the genre, with great games coming out regularly. Dead Synchronicity is yet another solid and engaging adventure that, at least, deserves a try.

    A good point & click adventure that takes place in a hostile and unusual environment, with lots of interesting characters & puzzles to solve, although they don´t always have the most logical solution.

    Just like if someone had tried to mix the future after the pulse in James Cameron's Dark Angel with the ghettos and refugee camps of a war conflict, the visuals, the atmosphere and the misery surround us every second in this game, a great old-school graphic adventure made in Spain by four people. Good puzzles, curious OST and a great story make Dead Synchronicity one of those games that fans of the genre should try.

    Dead Synchronicity is an interesting debut from the Spanish Fictiorama Studios. Although the story stumbles a bit, the unique visual style of the game and its well-written world keep the player interested. [Aug 2015]

    Even with a few rough edges, Dead Synchronicity stands as a modern adventure classic, telling a dark, sad and brutal tale that will leave you wanting more, but equally satisfied.

    Dead Synchronicity is not a game for the faint-hearted. But if you can accept a dark tale with a series of harrowing scenes narrated without unnecessary easement plus the 4-hours play-time is acceptable for you, this title is the right one for you.

    Dead Synchronicity is the result of a lot of work from a few people, but also an excellent point & click adventure made in Spain with an exciting plot.

    Dead Synchronicity provides narrative and mechanics with no shame in showing how hard and raw humanity could be and how beautiful a graphic adventure is.

    It's an interesting graphic adventure, but in the end the narrative feels less and less focused, and the puzzles are way too easy for veterans of the genre.

    If you like point&click-adventures and are looking for a mature story with quite an intriguing mix of dystopian elements and scifi 'DeadIf you like point&click-adventures and are looking for a mature story with quite an intriguing mix of dystopian elements and scifi 'Dead Synchronicity' might be right for you. The mysterious story kept me playing and the puzzles are - mostly - well implemented. For sure it is not an adventure that sacrifices Gameplay for the sake of the story. If you love traditional adventure games you'll probably not complain about that - if not you probably will. Completing this game will likely take around 6 hours, maybe 7 or so if you take your time.

    There is a lot of dialog here, which is not uncommon for adventure games. Rushing it won't do you good. The more you listen the more you get drawn into this world. But keep in mind that this is only the first game. There will be sequels continuing this story. At the end you will learn a lot about the protagonist which from my point of view will probably give you at least some sort of accomplishment but it will lead to much bigger questions. No idea yet when the next game will be out but I'm looking forward to it.    … Full Review »

Normally adventure games are kind ofThis game is one of the best adventures I have ever played - and I played a lot, let me tell you that. Normally adventure games are kind of funny and suited with a huge amount of humor, but this one really gets into your bones - the music, the art style, the story. Everything makes perfectly sense and you feel like you're a part of this post apocalyptical atmosphere.

    Dead Synchonicity shows a hard and brutal truth, a possibility, how the world could be if everyone's looking out for himself. There are many games with similar topics in games, but Dead Synchro somehow manages it to get the player's attention immediately and conveys a exciting and fascinating plot which will make your pulse go faster! Fictiorama succeeded in making a super classic point and click adventure.

    Enjoy!    … Full Review »
