	Still Life Review - GamersHell.com
		Still Life parallels between the events of Post Mortem, which was more or less of a success, while introducing a new heroine into the mix, the granddaughter of Gus McPherson from Post Mortem, Victoria McPherson.
		Still Life begins with a stunning yet shocking cutscene as we are briefly shown the main characters of the game, along with a strangely clad man sporting a mask and dragging the lifeless body of a young woman.
		Seeing as how Still Life is an adventure title, the point-and-click method of navigation is present, but with a twist, the camera follows Victoria from a third-person perspective, allowing for a much more fluent control of the character.

		Despite the brevity of our early build, we learn quite a bit about the protagonist, Victoria: she loves her family, has a sense of humor, and is a really good FBI agent who is accustomed to solving cases quickly.
		Still Life's excellent storytelling finally adds some dimension to Gus McPherson; all we knew about him from Post Mortem was that he's a slightly-psychic gumshoe who cavorts around Europe, and we now learn that he has a heart of gold, is non-judgmental, and loses someone important to him in Prague.
		Still Life has you playing as Victoria in present-day Chicago, or as her grandfather Gus in 1920s Prague, and the game will switch between the two playable characters as appropriate.

	Review - Still Life // PC /// Eurogamer
		In the case of Still Life, these garments are some fairly nice ideas of murder mystery across a broad timeframe.
		Not, 'Still Life has a bad ending,' or 'Still Life has an obscurely open ending that left lots of threads loose in a tantalising way.' It just doesn't end.
		There's a lot that Still Life does well, but in the same way adventure games were doing things well ten years ago.

	Still Life Review - GamersHell.com
		A decent premise and solid narrative complement Still Life’s claims of being “a gripping investigation” and its fluid cut scenes are impressive in terms of both graphics and animation.
		Direct and tangible contribution to Still Life’s evolution is only necessary when thrown into a puzzle-based dilemma that acts as a narrative roadblock, and sadly, is where the game further descends into the realms of disappointment.
		Aurally, Still Life’s voice work is often bland and flat, and the sheer amount of dialogue tends to highlight directional errors and ill fitting edits that jar the ear through lack of subtlety.

	Still Life for PC Review - PC Still Life Review
		Still Life revolves around the brutal, serial murders of prostitutes in two different cities during different eras.
		It's the atmosphere that carries the experience in Still Life, so it's unfortunate that the mood is undermined by clunky visuals.
		This isn't to say there won't be times in Still Life where you'll find yourself wandering around three or four rooms, unsure of what it is you're not seeing, but a dash of perseverance is all you need to solve even the game's most challenging puzzles.

		A fine art and magazine photographer since 1989, Elena Dorfman has spent most of her career examining extreme circumstances and unusual subjects such as family life in war times in Eastern Europe, surgical practices in Mongolia, and the lives of cloistered nuns as they struggle to maintain their communal faith in the 21st century.
		Her body of work, Still Lovers, which looks at the intimate lives of men and women and dolls, has been exhibited - with the work of Hans Bellmer - at Modernism, in San Francisco.
		Man despises himself for being unable to resist the sexual attraction woman inspires in him and to escape this trap, men turn to divine mechanics and resort to science to create the ultimate flesh - synthetic women that are more satisfying, both sexually and psychologically, than their flesh and bone counterparts.

		Still Life follows on the heels of the previously-published Post Mortem, which focused on private detective Gus McPherson, as he attempts to resolve a gruesome double murder in Paris.
		While Still Life can certainly be played as a stand-alone game, it can be compared to its predecessor, Post Mortem -- as both are story-based murder investigations that share a central character.

		The philosophy behind the creation of all the puzzles in Still Life was to let the story flow through it and not interrupt it.

		Still Life lets you play the role of FBI agent Victoria McPherson.
		There were far too few puzzles in the game, and had the developers doubled the number of puzzles, it would have lengthened this short game, but still would have seemed a little slim.
		Still Life isn't all bad, and in fact, there are several areas where it excels.
