Lexis Numerique’s PlayStation Network exclusive franchise, Red Johnson’s Chronicles, may go the same way as their other digital console product, Amy, with a version of the videogame seemingly prepared for release on the Xbox 360’s Xbox LIVE Arcade digital distribution service. A new title, listed as Red Johnson’s Chronicles – One Against All, has been revealed today by PEGI.
Red Johnson’s Chronicles wants to be the type of old school adventure game where you have to take notes to succeed. This is all well and good for a PC or console game, where you’re free to pick up a pen, but it proves to be a fundamental flaw for a mobile game.

"Red Johnson’s Chronicles: One Against All is the 2nd entry into the Red Johnson’s Chronicles series. Much like its predecessor, ‘One Against All’ was first released on the PlayStation Network, before marking the series’ début on Xbox Live Arcade and finally making its way onto the PC in 2013, a year after it’s initial release. The first game had some great puzzles, but many experience-dampening issues. Has Red redeemed himself in this second adventure?…"
Don't think of it as another low-quality game like Amy. It's a very good puzzle adventure. Took me about 8 hours to finish and I actually had to make notes. Not so common nowadays when you just get hints everywhere and "press X to win" approach. If you like puzzle and adventure, get it!
