Spoiled by poor voice acting and bad game design

I have been playing point and click adventures since the amiga days and I can honestly say this is one of the worst. The voice acting is nothing short of awful, if you are going to develop a game you need use more than 2 or 3 voices and not use them with terribly false accents.
Graphically poor but as a pnc lover I would still play it if that was the only issue, the voice acting and poor story really do make this one of the worst of this genre.
Avoid, there are plenty of good pnc games on Steam, this is not one of them. If I had to put a price on the worth of this one, it would be around the 5 pence mark, no more.

My Score - 1/10

I have been playing pnc games since the Amiga days, I know exactly what bad voice acting is, this game is shocking.

The voice acting is fine, you don't know what bad voice acting is if you think this is bad.

Ok, thanks for your feedback.

The accents are terrible, I live in the UK and I know when an accent is being put on and badly.

If I had the money to invest in paying lots of different people I would have. Again, no harm done and thanks for at least purchasing.

By the way, there were no false accents, apart from Mancini.

If you would have used different voices on the game, I think I would have played it, I honestly do. I could have overlooked all of the other flaws, even ones such as no mouths moving when speaking etc etc. The voice acting is massively important on pnc games.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it.

I made this game all by myself and did not have 100's of 1000's to spend on voice and 3D artists.

This is an indie game in the truest sense and for a one-man attempt, I'm pretty proud.

Again, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it.
