SheepArcade exclusive review:

A fresh perspective and a new member of wonderfully captivating adventure games, Emerald City is sure to entice you. Enter a world of exciting discoveries as you explore the magical world of Oz through a lens of dark and gritty crime noir. You play the role of Petra, a young private eye trying to make a living in the strange world Wizard of Oz-inspired known as Emerald City. The story begins as a "Dee Gale" walks into Petra's office and offers her a generous fee to find her missing boyfriend, Anzel. Petra is attracted to take the case and soon finds himself in a web of deceit and danger. The game uses the well known characters and Places of Oz but weaves a different story around them.

Dorothy and the gang are still around, but much has changed in 40 years, since it has intensified in the first place in the city. The mood of a once-vibrant green-hued city is tarnished by paranoia, strictly enforced rules and security tight as a possible war threat looms over the city. As with point and click games to play online, travel to different locations, interact with different people, hunt for clues and pick up items to help solve puzzles. The most entertaining games rarely have interesting characters like Jack Pumpkinhead, who has a pumpkin for a head but has no clue about the smuggling of illegal Magical artifacts or the Frogman - a frog speaks in a jacket of smoke that is blackmailing half residents of the country and have fun interacting with Winkie Elimina.il game has a multilevel system suggestion that reveals a clue at a time and encourages you to solve the puzzle. Traveling around this magical land of film noir is a simple affair. To visit another part of town, just click on the nearest Gump taxi stand and are transported to your chosen location.
