Another Code R: A Journey into Lost Memories

Wii - Cing/Nintendo
'Read and Solve like a Mystery
Novel!'
The game plays like a mixture between playing a point and click
adventure game and reading a 'Whodunnit?' There is a lack of
quick reactions or complicated co-ordination or dexterity
required by the gameplay.
Much of the gameplay involves talking to people to gain
information and clues to help solve the mystery of Ashley's
mother's death. The interaction with objects and people aswell as
movement around the game involves pointing the Wiimote at area of
the screen and pressing the 'A' button to select them.
To move, you point and press the arrows at the edge of the
screen. When in conversation with another character there is no
auditory speech, only text at the bottom of the screen. To move
on to the next line of text press the 'A' button. During a
conversation you may have the option to select a particular
question or answer. Again, this is selected by pointing and
pressing 'A.'
A part of the gameplay and the storyline is
the use of the 'DAS,' a personal computer which can be used to
help solve puzzles and take photo's. To access your 'DAS'; select
the icon in the bottom right of the screen.
Another Code: R requires patience and a sharp mind rather than
sharp movements and reactions, allowing the player to get drawn
into the story an one gets drawn into a book. However, in
addition the interactive element of the gameplay allows you to
take part and play a role in the final outcome of the
story.

Overall though it is beautiful, especially the transition between areas and the Wiimote door unlocking puzzles are a really nice idea, implemented well here I think.
