One of the more understated things I love about this generation of gaming is the resurgance of text-heavy adventure titles, especially on the DS. Some of my favorite experiences with the dual-screened handheld have been in the Phoenix Wright series, but the titles crafted by CING are definitely not slouches.

Again (formerly Again: Eye of Providence) is the latest title from the developers of Trace Memory/Another Code. This DS adventure uses a lot of the mechanics used in CING’s previous game, Hotel Dusk: playing the DS vertically, limited animation character profiles, and suspenseful dialogue mixed with some clever puzzles.

The second half of the above video is tucked away after the jump. It gives a good look at how the protagonist Jonathan Weaver’s ability to view the past works into puzzle solving and progressing further into the story.
