Family tasks you with completing one of those music family trees that chart a certain musical scene and how musicians moved from band to band.

Initially you're played a bit of a radio show that introduces the 80s music scene and one of it's members and then you get the family tree and a few artefacts like memoirs, reviews, articles, interviews as well as a song from each of the bands.

From this you work out who was in which band and in which role. Once you get five correct, you're given additional artefacts to go through. One complication is that people can change roles as they move into different bands, but thankfully can't be in two bands at once.

On the whole you can figure out the answers without a great deal of trouble. There was one or two I took an educated guess at and there was a bit of swapping around.

The final five caused me a bit of grief though as one of the artefacts indicated that at a point in time there were only two or three people who played a certain instrument and that was apparently the only people who would ever play that instrument, which seemed to go against the "people can change roles" thing but oh well

The atmosphere is very good, and the world feels very rich and believable (it's based on a real life scene, though all the characters are fictional). Oh and the music is very good too.

If you're interested in detective puzzly games but want a break from murders, this is certainly a nice one.
