The Good
- Puzzles can be handled in more than one way
- nicely done anime cutscenes
- intriguing mystery that makes good use of Japanese myth and real places
- eleven different endings
- soundtrack creates an intense atmosphere.
The Bad
- Some endings can be disappointing and there’s no way to save manually the first time through
- interesting S.P.I.N. System is ultimately not much more than a gimmick
- time-based events are often disrupted by long dialogues that can break immersion
- not that many different locations.
Our Verdict
Good
A solid adventure that is generally enjoyable, though it lacks enough polish or ambition to recommend without caution.
Although falling short of its full potential, Tokyo Dark tells an intriguing mystery story and nicely integrates elements of both western and eastern cultures, combining point-and-click adventure-style exploration and simple puzzles with visual novel-length conversations and multiple endings, some more satisfying than others.
