"The four-five hours of poor nostalgia will actually be much longer, if you can resist the urge to look up the solutions in some walkthrough. But that is the beauty of Unusual Findings: it treats you like a creative (young)adult …"

"Unusual Findings is a point-and-click adventure title that is filled with nostalgia. With old-school references and wonderfully pixelated graphics, this is one crazy story that shouldn&s;t be missed."

"Unusual Findings is a pleasant point-and-click with its main strength being its homage to the 80&s;s. Though it falls for the most common issue of its genre, the meddling boys trio&s;s investigation is an enjoyable journey worthy of playing."
