ABOUT THE GAME
The Gateway to Vespuccia, the City of Air and Light, Lamplight City - the thriving port city of New Bretagne is a beacon of progress and industrial advancement in the New World. Yet beneath the promises of a shining 19th-century future, the city rests upon foundations of poverty, class struggle, and crime.
For police detective turned private investigator Miles Fordham, Lamplight City's shadowy corners are just part of the territory. But with his former partner constantly speaking to him from beyond the grave, his grip on sanity is slowly loosening. Can Miles find justice for his clients and track down his partner's killer before his entire world comes apart?
Lamplight City is a detective adventure set in an alternate steampunk-ish "Victorian" past.

Ratings and Reviews
Save save and save again...
I messed up the first investigation and now can’t go any further on the third. Game looks great, story is good, levels not too hard. Just frustrating thst if you don’t have a save game you have to replay from start. Also be careful with loading and saving, I loaded the wrong game and auto save overwrote it meaning I had to go back again and replay. Game itself is a lot of fun and really draws you in. Really hope there’s a sequel
Absolutely amazing
Is this by the same guys as my favourite game series “ Blackwell” as it definitely feels similar. To those that think it is just a series of conversation without any user input they are wrong and probably haven’t finished each investigation correctly. I also thought this until I realised I’d actually got it wrong and replayed the game this time to each right conclusion which was sooo good!
These developers deserve so much praise for their originality and brilliant story telling. Thank you for another gem.
Boring and no actual game, just talking
This game isn’t really a game. All you do is walk around from location to location and talk to people – quite literally. You don’t even have an inventory! Once you have spoken to the appropriate people, a new location might open up and you can speak to some more people who then lead you to speak to more people and so on.
The voice of your partner plays over every single scene and to any action you take and is extremely irritating as well.
Very disappointed in this game especially since Shardlight is one of my favourite games ever and by the same developer.
