"the twist" was one of the legendary adult games and one of my personal favorites. a few days into the game and this one proves to be another legend in the making.. the graphics quality is over the roof. the story is flowing very nicely. taking place a few years after the twist, there are many new characters and quite a few familiar ones to be found in this new small town. just like its predecessor, maybe even more so, seaside mystery is a slow burner though, so you will have to be patient unless you can get off to jeans-clad asses. the hint system is doing its job fairly efficiently (at least as of v0.29.1). humor is again, one of the strongest points here. the moment MC called the FBI agent "partner" and she burst in laughter after a few moments of blank screen was golden. the only thing that is bothering me, and others apparently, is the choice of character controls. when you use mouse for most everything, having to press space to pass the dialogs is counter-intuitive. yes, there is a small button on the bottom to do it, but you should just be able to click the right or left mouse button to get the job done. other than that you have to click on locations with mouse to move around, instead of the obvious choice of WSDA for a 3D game and that's another gripe. as with the former game, WSDA controls the POV camera though, which is doing its job well. in the end you do get used to the clunky controls (choosing 3x movement pace in the settings menu is a must btw) and as the game is highly enjoyable otherwise, i don't want to deduct a point for the only downside of this 3D adult game masterpiece. it's safe to say that after 8+ years, kst still rocks on.
