I like the game but I advice to take it at your own pace. Take a break before the next puzzle. It is a fun game. But there's always a clue that requires a puzzle to complete. It's hard to progress through the story with so many puzzles to wade through. The story and dialogue is pretty fun, reminds me of 2000s cartoon dialogue.

Man, they were not lying when they said to set the game to "easy". The game is fun! I wish the black characters didn't look so washed out and ashy, though. I also wish there was some kind of pop-up if you missed a puzzle -- I had to completely redo one of the chapters to get an S-Rank! For every rank you get bonus puzzles, but there is no reward (not even an achievement) for completing those. All and all, I had fun, but it definitely felt lacking in a few areas. Still, if you're here for character shenanigans and fun puzzles, you'll probably enjoy it!

It's fun, but drags a bit in the middle. It's not always clear who you are supposed to be talking to, but maybe that's on me. The nonogram puzzles incorporated through out that aid in clues are well done. While the story doesn't always make sense, it's a fun to see one incorporated in with the puzzles. Music is decent and supports the experience. It would be a 6/10 for me... one worth the price on sale.

PROS: The nongrams are just really fun and you can get hooked playing for hours just doing the memory puzzles the cast is generally well liked and fleshed out. Not Ace Attorney good but up there. Solid mysteries. Ntohing groundbreaking but clever and functional. CONS: Nothing stands out The 90s setting feels mostly pointless and unrelated to the plot or characters stories. It just comes off as sloppy and inexperinced

Murder by Numbers is a fun mix of visual novel storytelling and picross puzzle-solving that really nails its quirky, detective vibe. The characters and humor make it easy to get invested in the murder mysteries. That said, the pacing drags a bit toward the later chapters, and the number of puzzles feels a little light, plus, most of them are on the easier side. Still, it’s a charming, feel-good mystery game that puzzle fans will enjoy.
