Solid. A little clunky and buggy, but it has a certain charm

I liked this a lot. Interesting mechanic with the dice rolls and the use of various items to give die bonuses. Nice variety of characters. Puzzles/quests were good and not too hard. I will say that translating the achievements would have been nice since my high school German from fifty years did not help. Looking forward to playing Ebbing

It was perfectly fine for the studio's first game. Nice dialogs and an interesting main story and entertaining characters. Improvements can be made, yes - but still, I very much enjoyed playing it.

Good storytelling, funny bavarian humor and well narrated, but the game mechanics lack finesse and can be frustratingly random - you can miss crucial information based on bad rng and there is no second way to get to these information

Absolut wunderbar! This game reminds me a lot of Kingdom Come, but with much more relaxed tone (weird given it is a detective game). I absolutely loved that right from the start I could go mushroom picking into small detailed beautiful summer forest instead of solving the case :D I really wish these guys would create their next game similar to ours Kindgom Come game, they definitely know how to create one of the most (maybe even THE most) beautiful relaxing forest locations. The worst issue with this game is sadly the optimization, I am playing on RTX4080 and had to lower down lot of settings to get stable 60 FPS :D despite that, it still looks very nice. However please, for your next game spend more time optimizing it. Keep it up guys, you are now on my radar of good indie devs :)
