Ratings and reviews

Intuitive interface, passionate voice acting, chilling art, and great mysteries! Great execution! A game that can be learned quickly and played with a friend by the fireplace. The mysteries are the perfect length. I'm looking forward to more in the future and even feel inspired to write my own... BTW go ahead and turn on True Detective... No point in playing with that off....

So I just finished the beginner case, I absolutely LOOVED it! Very engaging, it's basically an interactive book, no ads or running out of energy like other games. It was amazing. Aaaaaand then I found out that in order to play the other cases I have to pay THREE DOLLARS A CASE! come on! The case itself I would give a 5 star, I only gave 4 stars for the price of the other cases.

Really enjoyable, challenging, and addictive! My only complaint is that there are several typos and at least some of them should've been caught by an editor or someone reading through. For instance, forgetting to use closing quotation marks, mistakenly putting things in past tense ("identified"), misspelling "quiet" as "quiete," etc. Otherwise, excellent game!
