The game is a lot of fun until the end. If you accuse the murderer wrong, you lose. Don’t think exactly how the app developers thought? You lose. It’s pretty much a guessing game. And when you lose you have to go through the entire game again, for no reason. But here’s the catch: unless you pay 1.99, if you fail the end and get a game over you have to wait 20 minutes before it’s over.
Until the part where you have to guess the murderer, play on your own but for the ending I recommend using a game guide so you don’t have to deal with replaying the game
Too much starting over.
Game is a mess, could be good but you keep starting over and going back through the same things over and over.
A great game
It’s a really well thought out story that’s engaging and interesting to figure out, and the stakes are real (if you get it wrong, it may send you back to the very beginning!) It feels like a case straight out of Ace Attorney. Like a good book that you get to star in.
Tedious and boring
I had the mystery solved after a couple minutes but because of the frankly ridiculous sets of pre-Chosen things to say it took me over an hour to get absolutely nowhere near where I would have been if I was able to chose my words (It was the guy who cut his arm because he was the most suspicious of the three I didn't go farther in the game but I believe the manager could also be the murderer considering he was so eager to leave and that being an authority figure he'd be able to blackmail his employees into lying for him
Super fun!
If you like mysteries, this game is a must play. You actually have to pay attention to everything you see or hear, and most seemingly innocuous things can end up playing a major role!
What I didn't like about the game was how there was no way to think of a motive, it would have been fun if we could deduce it too... Instead, the only way of finding it out is in the murderer's confession. Someone once said a murder needs means, motive and opportunity, and it's sad that one of those three is impossible to deduce.
Another thing I didn't like is that, after getting the suspect right, you have to think of the one suspicious thing in their story - but most of the things I thought weren't options! Like (spoilers ahead) how did we find chloroform in the victim's lungs if it was a suicide? He wouldn't have been clear-minded enough to kill himself if he had enough to be picked up by forensics. And how would the murderer be at all related to the victim being fired, if that was the director's fault?
Plus I still want to know where that sawdust smell came from, it's the true mystery of this game lol
Hard but Fun
It's hard to find the solution, but when you find the killer it's so satisfying!
Waste of time
At the end of the game when you have to find the flaws in the killers argument, if you select the wrong one you have to restart THE ENTIRE GAME!!! Such a waste of time
Loved it!
I am a person who loves to sit down and play a mystery game for a while. This game seemed like it was almost made for me! I loved the suspense and the logic-type structure of the game! Also, contrary to other reviews, I solved it- so, yes, it is solvable, people!
No solution
I have tried selecting every option in the "make a deduction" menu and have not solved the case. I have also selected I give up and it won't let me. There is nothing else for me to do. Very frustrating.
Good plot, painfully long and time wasting.
The plot and backstory to this mystery is well-detailed and thorough, and lets the player have a chance at cracking the case. Unfortunately, some key elements of the the game's execution are flawed. I felt that it was important to allow the player to have many chances to change their answers throughout the story, which this game did for the MOST part. By the time I was near the end, I correctly selected the murderer- but during the final accusation I accidentally hit one wrong button, letting the killer roam free (I only learned I was right after scouring walk-throughs to make this review justified). I would understand if I guessed the killer wrong, needing to start the game over... But I didn't. How is that fair?
