Recommended, as a single-night investigation built from one clever puzzle after another. Dozens of self-contained minigames dressed as forensics give the case its shape, from chemical-formula assembly and transit-ticket route tracing to squat-window logic grids and beer-label cartography, each with a real idea inside a familiar form. The soundtrack is strong enough to sit on the title screen for, and the wry writing...

i mean it's really not bad, kinda wonky at times. a short point and click game, solving/deducing is essentially just minigames +the music was nice overall i mostly liked it

While I enjoy these types of games and love supporting indie developers, this one falls short. It's overpriced for the amount of content you get – I finished it in 1.5 hours, and there's zero replayability. The puzzles lack challenge, especially for seasoned players. If you're new to the genre, you might find it enjoyable, but I recommend waiting for a sale. At €10, it simply isn’t worth it. There's no real story to...

Let me start by saying I respect indie devs, and I really appreciate that people put lots of effort into creating a fun experience for players! With that said, I'm gonna be critical of this game- especially because I haven't seen that in the other reviews. I think the game is overpriced for the length of the game. This took me 2.2 hours, and I've seen people with 1.5 hours completing this game. The story feels...

this non-game says nothing on this page about the obvious AI usage. why is a guy playing a flute like a piano into an 8 ball? the AI disclosure needs to be added NOW. make art or get free stuff, not robotic sludge. NEVER buy anything form this thing.

Really fun little puzzle game... If you like noir detectives, puzzles, and/or Amsterdam, you can't go wrong with this super funny indie puzzle gem. You play as a narcissistic detective putting together clues to solve a case (or perhaps even more than one...) The game is also hilariously upfront with the fact that it's a straightforward crime solver, by skipping over the details and dropping you straight into a bunch...

so the first thing this game needs to do is take the investigation tag off, right now. this is a puzzle game. it's not a very hard one either: it's a puzzle game the same way IQ tests and standardized college/grad school exams are puzzles. hell, since it grades you on how many errors and hints you used over the game, it might as well be an IQ test. the puzzles are all, with the kindest words i can describe,...

I am so sorry to be the party pooper here for the game having 92% positive reviews, but this game is not satisfying for me. Too short (1.5-2 hours of gameplay), too easy (definitely not for an experienced mystery-solver, more like for a starting point if you've never solved puzzles before). It seems the game doesn't want you to emerge into the actual lore and script, just solve kindergarten puzzles all the time....

short, simple puzzle-slop game that's barely coherent and contains an unfortunate amount of ai-generated art -- some of which you can see in several of the store page's screenshots. feels overall uninspired and rushed, especially with multiple bugs which hampered progress and apparently failed to unlock several achievements. 3/10 would not recommend

Very short but pretty fun escape room detective game. there are alot of different kinds of puzzles so it doesnt become stale, the puzzles aren't that difficult so for beginners with puzzle games a good choice. The price for this game is sadly way to high though, if i didnt get this as a gift i wouldn't have bought it without a very high discount.
