Oct. 2025
I loved paincreek and when at release I saw that this game was so different from it, I passed. I am amazed at the seeming stupidity of my own decision, as I decided to give this a try now and I am already loving it waaay more than painscreek killings. I am also already 100% sure that all reviews that complains about unfairness boil down to skill issue, game is pretty hard and I'd be surprised if there wasn't a big slice of the playerbase pie that just doesn't get it and only tries to guess answers. Hell, 50% of players can't even nail the tutorial case according to achievments, if you like deducting stuff then draw your conclusions from that. Funnily enough, it kinda matches the percentage of reviews saying there's no evidence around to base your answers upon. Believe me when I say that this could be the single best investigation game of all times when it comes to detailed, realistic investigation scenes. I struggle to think at the work that was put into crafting this. Still, I'll update my review once I'm done UPDATE: I'm ready to write my final opinion. I stand correct in my previous assessment, namely that being unable to justify any answer equals skill issue. There's 8 cases total not including preliminary case(tutorial) and although I did a couple mistakes they were always due to me not taking enough time to put everything together. I aced all the other cases, including the hardest one, at the very first attempt, because I waited until everything clicked together instead of going with some half cooked hypothesis. It's pretty hardcore though, you're going to have to conjure up events from a minimal amount of clues mostly hidden within the lines. Only (small) gripe is about the easiest case in the bunch (Missing #3) which imo was rushed a little because some details don't add up. It probably received less attention because it's so obvious you can answer in 20 seconds, whether all other cases took me a minimum of some hours to find answers. Very fine details such as ballistics etc don't always match up so don't go look too close where you're not supposed to. I confirm this as the hardest investigation/deductive game out there, although maybe not the best from a gameplay/plot point of view. Real sense of achievement in nailing scenarios, and a lot of aha! moments in progressing through the solution. But I'll be honest, if you get easily bored staring at the same cryptic scene for too long this game might not be for you, but man the moment it all clicks together is top tier satisfaction

A must-play for fans of deduction and investigation. Gripping environmental storytelling as you begin filling up your notebook and piecing together what happened at these crime scenes. The scenes are mostly self-contained and unrelated, but all are satisfying with excellent (almost eerie at times) ambiance. Definitely not the easiest detective game, as it uses a "70/30 Principle". Like the developers say, "There might be 70% of the evidence in the case, but the other 30% is nowhere to be found." Intuition is required to tie up some of the cases. That may be frustrating, but it made this more believable and special to me.

I've grown up playing Nancy Drew since I was 10, I play The Room games, I watch a lot of Forensic Files and I played the CSI games on both PC and Xbox; it's safe to say I love the detective genre. This game was very challenging, but rewarding for detective fans! The assisted mode was good for people who, like me, NEED to find every clue out of almost-compulsion. Does it actually assist you much in solving the mystery? No. Even when you answer every question correctly, you don't always come out of it with a full understanding of what happened - but luckily, they provide the whole story to you after you complete the scenario, which I appreciate greatly. My only sadness with this game is that there isn't more of it, honestly! And remember, there is absolutely no shame in looking up the answers if you're truly and honestly stumped. If you like to 100% in order to enjoy the game, then look it up and enjoy the game, that's why you bought it. As long as you try to figure out the correct answers on your own, then knowing what they are through looking them up after-the-fact will still have a satisfying payoff :)

i think this game is definitely very intriguing to play, however its one that requires a lot of effort and note-taking to play, one must also try and figure out what they think has occurred in the scenarios that are given. Some are a lot easier to imagine what has happened in the scenario, whereas others leave me completely bamboozled nonetheless i'd definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys similar games.

Aside from needing specifics and not really having a good grasp on how answering tends to work, pretty good time intensive detective game. There's actually some pretty sad scenarios I wasn't expecting. I just thought I was playing a figure this out or find this piece of evidence. Instead, you match identities, situations, and other information to come to conclusions for the case. Luckily, everything is within the game for you to figure things out. Not a bad buy.
