    I'm glad they gave out a demo for this game, because man am I disappointed.
    Was really hoping for a good investigation game, but all the stuff just threw me off.
    Controls are weird and wonky, script-writing is all over the place, and there is no tutorial to tell you what you have to solve the case. And -this bit is a bit nitpicking- they don't just put out signs saying "delicious" and    I'm glad they gave out a demo for this game, because man am I disappointed.

    The game has 90% driving (which includes weird control) and it's annoying, there should be no need for me to go to the crime scene, then go to the police station, then go to hospital, then go back home, then go back to the crime scene, then finally go back to the police station. Just let me have a tablet and do it in one go.
    And script-writing, like what the heck. "Do you know this item?" "No." "But this thing has your fingerprint on it." "Fine I admit it, but please don't report me." "Sorry ma'am, I'll have to report you or I'll get fired." End of conversation. What. It doesn't even get intense or anything, no, it just scroll past through and just "case solved".
    Also what is with the hospital guy? He just, like, pure white? The character models are lazy and it's obvious. And their AI are so basic. The street people will just keep walking in the same place even though there's my car blocking them, and they'll run a bit if I hit them. It feels like a '00 game.
    One thing I'll give to them is that the music and the graphic are pretty alright.    … Expand

    Avoid this game at all cost!! It’s just a waste of time. I tried hard to give it a chance , and struggle driving from crime scene to the morgue then to city sec back to crime scene back to my apartment back to crime scene etc. just for each single case . A massive tedious game. No help , no hints of what to do. A game that after the first 20 mins you have to look for a walkthrough, is notAvoid this game at all cost!! It’s just a waste of time. I tried hard to give it a chance , and struggle driving from crime scene to the morgue then to city sec back to crime scene back to my apartment back to crime scene etc. just for each single case . A massive tedious game. No help , no hints of what to do. A game that after the first 20 mins you have to look for a walkthrough, is not a good game . There’s ridiculous clues (not hinted or pointed out) as to walk in front of the building to talk to some witness. It’s all f**ng dark, common people look like ultra dark in this game . Besides there’s no hint about that or anything to that matter. The story is pointless . A test to your patience . The driving is nuts. Who the f**ck design this? Cars are all over the lanes. They just bumped/hit you . It’s a massive lane invasion.
    Just wacko wild in a bad and annoying way.

    The dialogs are....well ...very poor. Robotic. Is a big turd of game. I really give it my best and try but it’s very bad. The idea is not wrong, it’s just very bad executed. Not even on sale/bargain ( in my case) is worth buying or playing. Don’t waste your pennies or time on this.    … Expand
