Quietly sitting at an 85 average. The algorithm never did this one any favors. An adventure game where the writing does the heavy lifting. Drama, mystery that stick with you after the credits. Solo only, and better for it — this is a one-player experience through and through.

About this game

Street psychics. Their blinking neon signs are everywhere, promising love and wealth and happiness. They make a fortune preying on the gullible and milking them dry. So when these victims begin dying and leaving confused spirits behind, it can only take a genuine psychic (and her wayward spirit guide) to clean up the mess. From seedy downtown nightclubs to penthouse apartments to a luxury yacht on the Hudson River, Rosa and Joey will unearth the truth about the underground world of street psychics. Including some secrets that Joey would rather be left buried.
