Wadjet Eye's old-school point-and-click adventure draws inspiration from case-of-the-week TV such as The X Files or Buffy, taking place over seven stand-alone episodes in which its magic-powered heroes must solve supernatural crimes that span the breadth of New York City. The cases themselves are never particularly challenging, but the storytelling is compelling, funny and even occasionally moving—particularly as we witness the redemption arcs of each character. The ability to play the episodes in a different way depending on your choice of sidekicks is a novel idea for the genre too. However, the highlight of Unavowed is by far the third-act reveal—an ingenious and unexpected twist that provokes you to re-think everything about the story.
