Critic Reviews for The Crimson Diamond
The Crimson Diamond is a fantastic mystery that's incredibly enjoyable to solve. The characters are delightful, the visuals are stunning, the music is catchy and era appropriate, and there's quite a lot to discover. This is a must play for any adventure game fan.
The Crimson Diamond is not a game for everyone; indeed, the adventure genre, already quite niche in its own way, is made even more hostile by the presence of text-based controls. However, anyone should try this experience, because such well-packaged products rarely come out and transcend the nostalgia operation by offering a story worthy of Agata Christie in the artistic guise that made the defunct, but still alive in the hearts of fans, Sierra On-Line so famous. The excellently crafted parser and a notepad full of hints make it much more accessible than you might imagine.

The Crimson Diamond is a pixel-styled point-and-click adventure where your would-be-detective is only as smart as you are. Its tale of greed and murder will have you hooked — and even if you fail to dig up every truth, it's still a joy to play.
The Crimson Diamond is a colourful retro-style detective game that gives you plenty of freedom to explore your own case while also making you think outside the box to solve challenging puzzles.
The Crimson Diamond is a murder mystery puzzle adventure that's a love letter to text parser games past, but in a modern and engaging way. It's great fun - despite niggles with some of the puzzle solutions.
