We all know that point and click adventure games live and die by the alluring depth of their narrative. Not so much with Nippon Safes, Inc. Set in Tokyo, Italian developers, Dynabyte, really pushed the boat out to confound expectations chiselled in stone by Lucasarts, rowing it back to shore bursting at the seams with nonsensical dialogue, bizarre protagonists and obscure puzzles. Epitomising quirkiness, with its enticingly caricatured graphics conspiring to keep us gawping in disbelief, Nippon Safes is a rubber-neckers' dream.
