Ratings and reviews

Super unique and entertaining! I've never played another game like this before, its truly one of a kind. There was clearly a lot of work and love that went into it. I bought the main game and expansion pack. I finished the main game in one day cause I couldn't put it down! I was immediately hooked after the demo/tutorial cases. Highly recommend this masterpiece, it is absolutely worth the money. Very excited to play the expansion pack next and I look forward to future updates!!

Quite the interesting style and theme of game, very unique. Mostly sad that only three missions are available unless you buy the rest. I am not sure about how filled with ads it might be, I run an adblocker so I don't have to deal with them.. but I did quite enjoy the amount of stuff I was able to do, I just wish I could do one whole chunk of the map instead of three separate missions.

great game, terrible greed. the devs give you 3 games for free then the main version costs $7. There are a few over 20 games ,but for someone like me--that could be finished in a few days, that's not enough. After the main game, they have the nerve to have an "expanded" version that's another $4. That's ridiculous and, as a consumer, is very upsetting. I get y'all have to make your money, but a game that could take a few days-1 week to beat, is NOT worth $11.
