    Nice idea but badly executed.
    After not even playing for one hour I think if seen the whole game. You run around trying to find clues which seem to be randomly placed around the city. You talk to npcs to add them to your list of suspects and to get a pointer to a location where you can find more clues. Suspects have a faction, gender, job,...

    After not even playing for one hour I think if seen the whole game. You run around trying to find clues which seem to be randomly placed around the city. You talk to npcs to add them to your list of suspects and to get a pointer to a location where you can find more clues. Suspects have a faction, gender, job,... Clues help you find the killer by narrowing each attribute down.

    For example:
    One clue might tell you it is either a Dancer or a Tailor, another clue might say either Police or Mobster.... you get the idea.

    The cases don't have a story or require logical thinking, A lot of times it is just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. There is also no case specific scenery e.g. crime scenes. You just go to the same static places and click investigate and hope to find a clue there.

    Their "Permanent choices" selling point is also kind of joke considering that each case takes only around 10 mins and then you land back on the main menu and the city resets.    … Expand

    It’s pretty one-dimensional and there is little substance to it, and it looks and feels like an old flash game, but at least it offers a unique experience with a pretty good jazzy soundtrack.
