Edward Carnaby, private eye of the paranormal, is back.

Carnaby's best friend, Charles Fiske, has been found dead near Shadow Island--a mysterious island near Maine. It is his duty to take up the investigation and find out the secrets of Shadow Island. The game takes place in the surrounding grounds of a gloomy mansion. The game tries to import most of the gameplay mechanics of its console/Windows brother: most time is spent exploring the game world (screens with switching camera perspectives), collecting items and using them to solve puzzles.

Besides the obvious technical changes due to the restricted power of the Game Boy Color system, there are two important differences: There is no choice of characters, and if the player is attacked (mostly on pre-defined points, in some areas randomly) the game switches to a different playing mode. The perspective is somewhere between isometric and top-down, and the player has to kill the approaching enemies - he can turn in eight directions and has to aim in the general direction. Consistently to the previous entries of this series the ammo is scarce.

 This game is pretty good but when he sais he needs to be prepared for anything why does he only fight spiders and dogs and other cliche things.

 I had no Idea this kind of game could work on the Gameboy. Proof again that updating is not always needed.

 yeah dude don't rip on the graphics . . . what did you expect?

 this is pretty cool, though the graphics suck because they were meant to be played on a small, pixel-dense gameboy color screen, not a stretched out 1080p pc screen

 Heh. How awesome is it that he doesn't assume the guy was mugged or something. He just naturally assumes monsters must have killed the dude.
