Carte Blanche

After queueing for 20 minutes, forking out £20 and then tweaking like hell, Miss Kitty finally got to play Carte Blanche…and after all that she expected very good things.

Fortunately, this point and click adventure did not disappoint. MK found the mixture of Edgar Delacroix's soothing voice and naivety quite a treat, as well as the attempt at film noir storyline and deliberate black-and-white animations.

True there were a few annoyances (the secretary's unnecesarily rasping voice and the stuttering soundtrack) but these could be overriden by the game's lulling atmosphere and touches of surrealism.

A modest masterpiece and Miss Kitty looks forward to the sequel!
