This is a showcase of the new Crimson Diamond classic VGA Seirra graphic adventure game themed homage project where we follow a new protagonist Nancy Maple on a little journey that's somewhat similar to the first Laura Bow adventure but, Nancy has a bit more personality on display now in comparison. And well, she wasn't invited by a friend this time around, she's on a job. And obviously, needless to say we're in a classic "Agatha Christie" novel type scenario.


Just some personal comments, Nancy here is a bit smarter here in two aspects, at least to me anyway. Not only can she sit down and chat to people like a normal human being to make conversation, but instead of relying upon the aid of "hidden passages with peephole paintings" to eavesdrop on conversations, she can actually listen outside the door ways. The only time she has to get creative in this respect is when she has to listen through a closed door.


At most the setup while similar to Colonel's Bequest, is still pretty distinctive in what's going on in this story. Also, the shortcuts to utilize the text parser is a blessing! If you're interested in giving this demo a whirl yourself, it's a free download on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1242790/The_Crimson_Diamond_Chapter_1/

And yeah, the opening cutscene is very very rough in places but, this is a very early demo, so I'm sure it'll be fine tuned and such once it's further along in development. Since once we get to the lodge itself, that's where things look way more normal and typical of your usual graphic adventure game.


And as someone who has played both a few early Sierra and Lucasarts adventure games, this is looking real promising, and this is a LEGITIMATE adventure game, and not one of those stupid hidden object nonsense. And Nancy Maple here is one of the cutest adventure game protagonists I've seen in awhile, and yet still pretty to boot.
