It features a well-written story that’s brimming with character, charm, and wit. It has incredible art that complements incredibly vivid prose, and fun, engaging puzzles to help make the experience a little more interactive. This is truly one of the best narrative experiences I’ve had in a while, the kind that makes me happy I’m a games journalist." 10/10 - The Game Crater "If you’re looking for a story-driven mystery with plenty of intrigue and fun, give this one a go." "With an interesting story and creative art style, it’s well up there as one of the more unique games I’ve played." Gamespew "Sarawak is a delightfully cozy piece of interactive fiction""Had me hooked on both cracking the mystery and simply existing as this witty traveling anthropology student." Goombastomp "...a literary-based point and click masterpiece. This is in large part thanks its narrative stylings similar to a Telltale game and an illusion of choice as convincing as the best Bioware RPGs" startmenu About the GameSarawak is a literary mystery game set in Oxford and Borneo.A university professor is found dead on the steps outside your hotel.
