The Last Case of John Morley Review – Atmosphere, Intrigue, and a Faltering Middle Act
When Atmosphere Shines but Gameplay Falters
You play as John Morley, a private detective who has recently woken up in hospital. Remembering only a few things, you awake to find you've spent days in the hospital but are now healthy and free to leave. You head back to your office, where almost instantly you have a new client, an older woman who wants you to investigate the murder of her daughter. Decades have passed since the murder occurred – it was originally attributed to a pair of thieves, but she isn't satisfied with this conclusion and offers you an obscene amount of money to investigate the cold case. Liking both money and a good mystery, Mr Morley takes the case and heads to the Manor to begin his investigation.
