    It's quite short and rather rough around the edges, but The Last Case of John Morley has an interesting case for you to crack. Just don't expect anything too ambitious or impressive.

    The Last Case of John Morley is a passable narrative noir experience, supported by an engaging story and well-crafted environments. Its brief runtime will likely hold your attention, though it never offers anything particularly memorable in its overall story or especially deep in its NPC interactions. Not great, not terrible, as the modern saying goes.

    A short, atmospheric, and highly guided investigative noir, perfect for those who want to solve a crime from their sofa in a single night, but far from the great references of the genre in terms of depth, surprise, and ambition.

    The Last Case of John Morley is a detective game without any detecting. This walk-through of what could be a fantastic mystery story is let down by wooden voiceover performances, dated character visuals and mind-numbing mechanics.
