At first I thought I was too dumb to solve anything at all but then I got a hang of it, though I'm not perfect! I got the game because I saw it on Instagram, and I like the VA in the game. I plan to learn how to beat the Normal difficulty because now I'm either a bit too slow to solve the cases because English is not my first language, so Tanner ambushes me while I'm thinking. I recommend the game, it's fun, and there seem to be a lot of cases + pregressing difficulty. Each night feels different from the previous one.
Actually addicted to scrutinized, another banger from these devs (suprises nobody). Doesn't hurt that they made tanner so cute either lmfao... The variation in the puzzles makes the game way more interesting, instead of constant stale exact-same puzzles, the answers on some cases can change, which ensures you still have to complete puzzles with thought instead of plain old memorising. Definitely my favourite game from these devs so far.
Very fun to play. It even has a detective mode for scaredy-cats like me! So if you're unsure to get this because it might be scary... Do not fear! The detective mode is about solving cases only. The game has like over 200 different cases. (Wrote my own notes and currently have 118.) So you basically find something new every playthrough. Also not even 10€ for that amount of content? Hecking amazing.
