I’m indifferent, actually, towards point-and-click adventure games and visual novels. But, if it has a great story, likable characters, and lots of humor, I’ll at least try it. That being said, Resonance has to be one of the best point-and-click games I’ve ever played. It ranks up there with the Ace Attorney series (my favorite video game series), Monkey Island series, and Sam & Max series.
Resonance has you playing as four main characters: Tolstoy “Ed” Eddings, Anna Castellanos, Raymond Abbot, and Officer Winston Bennet. Ed is a mathematician who works for a physicist named Dr. Javier Morales. He struggles to make ends meet, and he seems to have the strength of an ant. Anna is a doctor and daughter of Morales, Ed’s boss. She has frequent dreams (more like nightmares) throughout the game where she’s a child running away from a monster. Raymond (Ray for short) is an established journalist who’s looking for a big scoop. Officer Bennet is a cop who’s not afraid to break some rules in order to find the truth.
