I didn't know what to expect, but I wasn't disappointed. A period point and click set in early to mid 20th century America, A Golden Wake is a well crafted and brilliantly voice acted game. The puzzles are challenging enough to keep interest but not so bewildering as to restrict the flow of gameplay. The setting is conveyed accurately with a respect for detail without exagerated flair, adding to the legitimate feel of the world and characters, all of whom are written with a sense of reality. That's not to say that the game is boring or dull. There's plenty of laughs and action to be had without detracting from the more serious aspects of a period plot. All in all, a good play.
