Brief, beautiful and poignant, Loondon might be less of a point & click adventure game than it is an interactive story but that doesn't change the fact that it is absolutely gorgeous. Here, you'll be able to take part in the journey of a hunchback named Jonah. Drawn to the glitter of London, he departs his home only to encounter some truly unfortunate circumstances.

Pretty as the game might be, Loondon also tries a little too hard. The underlining message, while a valid one, feels forced. I definitely could have done with a little more 'show' than 'tell'. However, if you're willing to overlook that, Loondon is still more than worth the dalliance. It won't evoke any 'Ah-hah!' moments but Loondon will definitely linger in your mind for at least a little while.
