“There's a certain rare breed of point-and-click adventures...those select few, exquisitely designed and thoughtfully written offerings that sport layers upon layers of interlocked mysteries and puzzles to solve. Those modern adventures that look and sound wonderful while telling engrossing stories in a way no other medium could ever hope for. The games that subtly evolve and perfect the point-and-click formula. Games just like the recently released sci-fi adventure Prominence.”
