Xbox Indie Games Review - Decay - Part 2

You don't necessarily need to play Decay - Part 1 to enjoy this game but it helps put the story in line since it's a continuation from the first game.

This can be best described as a point and click adventure game. It's almost a detective type game where you need to figure out certain puzzles or find a key to open a locked door. The game is very dark and creepy and it does a perfect job of setting that mood.

There's a few things that prevent a perfect 10 from this review and those are as follows.
1) A notepad or similar feature to keep track of important things. If you forget something you must travel to the location (if you remember where it was). At one point the game says something along the lines of 'this looks important, maybe I should write it down' but who has a pad/pen laying around and is willing to take notes on paper while playing a video game.
2) There's a few times where you can get really stuck and there's no 'help' option where you can get a push in the right direction. Maybe there could be help clues for the next objective that push you in the right direction or remind you of what you just accomplished.

Otherwise Decay - Part 2 is just as good as Part 1 and you'll have a fun time playing detective throughout the game. It's only about an hour long or so, depending on how often you get stuck, but it's enjoyable the entire time.
