    This game is 90 minutes long and the gameplay is so simplistic and barebones even for a VN standard. The price for this game isn't worth it. You will beat it on one setting then realize you could have spent those $6 on something more valuable. Not to mention the whole thing ends on a cliffhanger, trying to become an episodic release.

    Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories
    I paid €3 or something, it's so long ago Nintendo has no record of my transaction anymore. Worst spent money ever.
    The story finishes before it even starts, about 2 hours maximum.
    I'd rather pay 10 times the money for 10 times the gameplay.
    AVOID!!

    Even being a $10 (or slightly cheaper with a MyNintendo discount) eShop title, there is simply not enough quantity or quality to justify a purchase – Chase tries its best to make the two-hour trek a grind. The characters are merely nothing more than hollow vessels for driving the plot forward. It is totally disappointing that there is no thrill or cognitive challenge to the game – this is one investigation not worth chasing.

    A mediocre Phoenix Wright wannabe with a story resembling poor police documentaries/reality shows on TV. [01/2017, p.74]

    As a first installment in a planned episodic series, it leaves a bit to be desired. [Issue #25 – January/February 2017, p.21]
