What is the first thing that comes to mind with “Affair Bureau?” I’m thinking of a salacious story of an affair between a bureau and a chair. And a nightstand turns insanely jealous as it struggles to profess its love for chair. No good? OK, so it’s really about someone starting up his own FBI, CIA, KGB, [fill in your favorite made up abbreviation].

After getting bored with following cheating spouses, tracking down lost jewelry, and finding stolen cars, Alex has decided to take on more serious crimes. Investigate freshly discovered crime scenes in this charming noir-like detective story. Find the clues to close the case and capture the crooks!

I love the Dream Chronicles series. Now with a name like “Book of Air,” you have to wonder if such a book exists if it’s made of air. OK, so another way to read it is that the book or episode is about air, and that’s applies to this one. I reviewed Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air. I’d like to review games more often, but no matter how many time machine games I play — none gives me more time to play.
