Sunday Gold

Sunday Gold is an unusual hybrid of a point'n'click adventure and a turn-based RPG. The project was developed by Canadian studio BKOM, the authors of Zorro: The Chronicles and Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Anihilation.

Plot

The game is set in an alternate dark version of London, where poverty is widespread and levels of homelessness and crime set new records every now and then.

The main characters of Sunday Gold are a trio of criminals - Frank, Sally and Gavin. The group discovers that local billionaire Kelly Hogan is plotting something despicable that could forever change the balance of power in the city - for the worse, of course. The criminals decide that this time they will use their skills for a good cause and thwart the rich man's plans.

Game mechanics

Sunday Gold combines several game genres, creating a highly unusual cocktail. The gameplay takes place in a turn-based system. The player uses it to play tactical battles, but in this mode there is also a typical adventure exploration and puzzle solving. We also have to conduct conversations and collect items.

The puzzles in Sunday Gold are very diverse. They require careful search of rooms, clever use of environmental elements and dealing with numerous mini-games. Many of the puzzle challenges are designed in the style of escape room games, meaning that our main task is to figure out how to get out of a room.

Each member of the criminal team has unique talents, useful both in combat and in solving puzzles. We can, like in RPGs, develop these abilities within the skill tree.

The game is varied by a morale system. Disturbing and dangerous situations can cause a character to lose his temper, which can end fatally for the whole team. Therefore, it is crucial to manage the character's stress and make proper use of calming disposable items and leadership skills.

Game modes

The game only allows you to play solo.

Technical aspects

Sunday Gold features attractive three-dimensional graphics done in a heavily exaggerated cartoon style. Attention is drawn to two-dimensional movie interludes that look like animated frames of a comic book.
