    Card Detective combines two different concepts in an innovative way. Hazel Gong is the very model of an intrepid reporter, although the story she’s chasing is a bit mundane. And it’s fun to guide her as she chases the truth, either by asking direct questions or by carefully analyzing a subject. The card mechanics work well and there’s enough variety and space to craft decks and strategies. Some extra hints about how to best balance direct approaches and analysis would have been great to keep newcomers to the genre engaged. The title’s biggest weakness is the relatively mundane story and some difficulty spikes. Card Detective shows how the card-battler genre can evolve when combined with new approaches and offers complex card puzzles to solve.

    Card Detective marries noir and comic aesthetics, unraveling a murder case entangled in corporate corruption. While the narrative starts strong, it falls short on character depth and conclusive storytelling, with many characters feeling forgettable. The game's innovative card-based mechanic for uncovering truths and lies adds a unique twist to the detective genre, though it suffers from unbalanced difficulty and predictability. Despite these flaws, Card Detective remains a captivating, if not replayable, journey for fans of narrative-driven detective stories.
