The Last Case of John Morley

“Indigo Studios and Jandusoft draw us into a murder case that happened 20 years ago.”

“Think about walking into a mansion where the walls seem to breathe, where silence is louder than sound, and shadows wait for you to blink to move. The Last Case of John Morley starts with a big promise: the last case of a veteran detective in a house that smells like death.”

“If you're looking for a title to switch off your mind for a short while and simply enjoy an engaging, atmospheric narrative on a lazy afternoon, then The Last Case of John Morley can truly be a fitting and memorable choice.”

“The Last Case of John Morley is a detective game without any detecting. This walk-through of what could be a fantastic mystery story is let down by wooden voiceover performances, dated character visuals and mind-numbing mechanics.”

“Despite some positive points in its narrative and visual presentation, The Last Case of John Morley presents too many issues to be easily recommended. The gameplay is weak and uninspired, and this is further compounded by serious flaws in the Portuguese localization, such as gender agreement errors—especially when female characters are speaking—which significantly break immersion. This is a game that clearly deserved more care and polish to truly stand out and overcome its limitations. Still, due to its short runtime, many of these problems do not become as evident as they otherwise might, making the experience somewhat more tolerable for players looking for a quick, story-driven journey.”

“The Last Case of John Morley offers a decent premise and moody environments, but is sunk by rough writing, clumsy presentation, and a baffling ending which turns a promising cold case into a lukewarm disappointment. ‍”

“An evocative, well‑staged noir that often nails mood and presentation but is held back by shallow mechanics, visible asset shortcuts, and a runtime that feels too brief for its ambitions.”

“The Last Case of John Morley is a suspenseful detective adventure that thrives on atmosphere, puzzles, and exploration. While accessibility issues, slow pacing, and uneven voice work hold it back, the strong visuals, engaging environments, and haunting narrative make it worth experiencing for fans of noir mysteries and horror-infused storytelling. It may not be flawless, but its immersive world and memorable story carry it far.”

“Slow and strictly a one-time experience. A missed opportunity, as it could have been so much more with the right amount of care.”

“The Last Case of John Morley offers a short and atmospheric detective story with strong sound design, moody environments and escape room style puzzles that recreate a twenty year old murder case. The investigation is very linear with a lot of guidance and the production has some rough edges such as inconsistent visuals, clunky menus and odd lock mechanics. Despite these issues, the narrative stays engaging and delivers a solid three hour mystery adventure for fans of simple and immersive investigations.”

“It's quite short and rather rough around the edges, but The Last Case of John Morley has an interesting case for you to crack. Just don't expect anything too ambitious or impressive.”

“An atmospheric detective mystery, The Last Case of John Morley is a compact tale with surprisingly high production values for a game of this size. Unfortunately, it undermines itself by telegraphing its twisting narrative and lacks those 'eureka' moments you'd find in other, similar titles. Still, if you're in the mood for a one-and-done 'whodunnit' that you can start and finish in a single sitting, this is still worth your attention.”

“In the end, The Last Case of John Morley is just a sad example of what many horror walking simulators look like today. The game may have a solid premise, but it fails to turn it into a truly satisfying experience.”

“The Last Case of John Morley lives and dies by its script: short, straightforward, and light on gameplay, yet offering a couple of hours of well-crafted noir atmosphere. It doesn’t aim for complex mechanics or technical spectacle, but rather tells an engaging detective story that appeals to fans of the genre. Despite its brevity and lack of Italian localization, its early‑20th‑century London setting delivers a simple yet memorable investigation.”
