The Good
- Detective Mohammad Afshar is a pleasant protagonist to spend time with
- village of Masuleh is an interesting place to visit, however briefly
- music subtly underscores environmental atmosphere.
The Bad
- Story gets rather muddled with multiple angles
- too much handholding means there’s almost nothing to solve for yourself
- generic locations don’t show off any inherent cultural distinctiveness
- little focus on characterization.
Our Verdict
Uneven
A near-equal balance of good and bad that can make a game either fall disappointingly short of its evident potential or be mildly entertaining despite its many failings.
A linear experience where you’re told what to do almost every step of the way, Devil in the Capital still manages to offer a brief bit of fun for those just looking to point-and-click their way through a rarely-explored cultural setting.
