The Vigilante 1.0

The Vigilante (or Vigilante Single Shot Justice) is an interactive visual novel from indie developers Magnesium Ninja which although is not spectacular looking has an intriguing plot line with some nice twists. As the protagonist you must attend a party for a wealthy perhaps crooked politician where you have been informed he will be murdered and you must try to prevent it from happening although you are also forewarned this will be nearly impossible so when the inevitable happens you must deduct who the murderer was, as you have only one bullet loaded in your gun you must be very clever with your first and final shot….or so you think.

Trying not to give any of the twists away there was something that very frustrating at the climax of the game and at first it seemed like a fun twist it started to grate very quickly and I was left wondering if the game was designed like that or if it was a glitch, but I guess to understand you will need to download and play it which you can do so for free here.

It is disappointing that the finale of The Vigilante ruined what had otherwise been a curious and enjoyable experience, the game can be finished in a short amount of time but it is worth playing as the story telling was great at least up until a point.
