You've tried a visual novel, why not try a, er... visual film! The Centennial Case sees you follow a mystery writer as she sticks her nose in a family's business and tries to figure out who's doing a load of nasty old murders. With a story told entirely through FMV, the interaction comes in Sherlock Holmes-style mind palace sections (where you try to piece together various clues to form hypothesis) and then more traditional choose-a-path sections where you attempt to use those hypothesis to solve the case.

Although restricted by the fact there has to be a 'right' answer (and some of the solutions require a fair old leap of logic), this ticks along at a decent pace and just about manages to be charming through some scenary-chewing performances. I particularly enjoyed letting characters hang at a pivitoal decision moment and watch them gurn repeatedly for several minutes.

A videogame that's very light on the game and very heavy on the video, but an enjoyable experience nonetheless.
