The Hand of Glory Switch NSP Free Download Romslab The year 2020 was undoubtedly terrible for many things, but at least adventure gaming wasn’t one of them. One of the year’s most conventional releases was The Hand of Glory, though it was launched rather unconventionally in two distinct parts throughout the year. It’s complete now at last, and whilst there are a few issues with Madit Entertainment’s globetrotting adventure, there is also lots to enjoy too, including its Broken Sword-style pairing of lead characters, a huge story spanning many locations, and even some exciting timed puzzle sequences to shake up the usual slower pace and more cerebral gameplay.  All of these elements add up to what seems to be an anomaly in this day and age.

A nuts and bolts, old-fashioned point-and-click game that can still delight and entertain a modern-day audience. I still remember playing Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars on the original PlayStation as a kid, and it would go on to open my mind to a whole genre of games that would become one of my favourites. Titles such as Myst, Riven, Grim Fandango and Syberia would all feature, but no series would have such a profound impact as Broken Sword did. The style in which it mixed a narrative adventure with challenging puzzles was like no other, and to this day any game that lists Charles Cecil’s adventure series as inspiration automatically gets my attention.

One swift download and playthrough of the game’s demo was enough to convince me to pledge to the project, which was successfully funded in 2019. With the full release (of Part One) releasing in early June, does it set itself up for glory or does it go down in a blaze of…glory? Set in the Florida tropics of Miami (the American Gold Coast), THOG follows the story of slumping detective Lazarus Bundy, who has been hot on the heels of a serial killer known as Blowtorch for some time – being teasingly at arm’s lengths thanks to the breadcrumbs left by Blowtorch. Despite eventually tracking down the killer, Bundy fails to close the case once again, resulting in suspension. MotoGP 21 Switch NSP + Update

Looking for a chance at redemption, Bundy decides to investigate the recent disappearance of Kathrin Mulzberg – the young scion of the influential Mulzberg family. Bundy isn’t alone in his escapade, befriending young police intern Alice Sharp who agrees to assist on the assumption that it will help benefit her career. In true George Stobbart-Nicole Collard style, the pair play off one another’s strengths to uncover the truth, forming a bond in the process. The developers certainly weren’t lying when they said the game was inspired by Broken Sword. Everything from the writing (Bundy is full of wisecracks), to the characters, to the soundtrack, all feels ripped from the Charles Cecil playbook (in a good way).

Good point-and-click games are built on having a strong story and challenging puzzle design and THOG’s narrative is enjoyable thanks to an entertaining cast of characters, some solid writing, and excellent voice acting. From start to finish I was intrigued as to how the Mulzberg disappearance would unfold, and having finished Part One I am excited to see where the story goes in Part Two. Late in development the decision was made to split the game into two parts. The reasoning was that the twist in the middle of the game was too intense to be a mid-game cutscene, and by splitting the game players would have ample time to assimilate it.

However, the game’s twist – which is designed to have an emotional effect. Feels largely out of place considering the gravitas of the twist clashes with the frequent comic tone of the game. It’s not that the twist is bad, but it feels like an unnecessary addition as it doesn’t enhance the connection or experience, at least for me personally. Hopefully it’s something that is fleshed out in Part Two and can add to the overall narrative. In The Hand of Glory, you play as LAZARUS BUNDYYYY (as he often likes to shout, as loudly as possible), a once-star Miami detective who’s fallen from grace following a bungled attempt to catch the dangerous serial killer known as Blowtorch.

Desperate to get his job back after being suspended from the force, our wannabe. Sherlock Holmes decides to secretly investigate a new case of the disappearance of local teenager Kathrin Mulzberg, in the hope that success will grant him another crack at the detective role he gets such a buzz out of. Of course, things spiral out of control and along the way to uncovering what’s really going on you’ll travel to several locations across the city, from a sewer network to the Mulzberg family’s imposing mansion. In the second part, you’ll leave Miami for the trattorias of Italy, and even visit England (and naturally, a pub) for a spell.

Helpfully there’s also a hotspot indicator if you press the mouse wheel, which is especially useful as the developers have peppered scenes with plenty of items to scrutinise and/or pick up and put in your inventory. A notebook is another handy addition to your arsenal, keeping track of your latest objectives, whether it’s finding the ingredients for a dish of succulent meatballs or gathering materials to scare an old woman (some of the more amusing and bizarre tasks Lazarus finds himself getting tangled up in during his mission).
