Our take on The Safe Place
The focus on dialogue, plot twists, and point-and-click puzzles leaves little room for action-driven gameplay. That trade-off suits a directed dramatic experience, but limits the game for players seeking combat systems or broader mechanical variety.
What is The Safe Place?
The Safe Place is a dramatic point-and-click adventure set in a post-Soviet city during an economic crisis.
The story follows Alexander, an engineer who accidentally kills a man and hides evidence of the crime, and Christina, a 12-year-old witness who asks him to address her own troubles in exchange for her silence. Players solve classic adventure puzzles as the plot develops through twists. Dialogue choices influence the story. The game has fully voiced English conversations, hand-drawn visuals, and quests with different levels of complexity. It is part of a trilogy that also includes Little Kite and Repentant.
