French Crime Detective Game

It is not really an fmv game. It has some videos but you mostly have to read a lot and answer some questions and the end you get points how many stuff you find, Sierra style. It is just not my game. It missing the personal stake. Imagine Murder in the building series without personal stake and the red herrings. This is that game.

'french crime' is an interesting experiment in making a essentially with browser based game on steam with online multimedia assets, but as it stands, it's too inconsistent in quality

French Crime is one of those games that is tedious and time consuming. It can be rewarding to play it, but I usually get bored by the end of the investigation and I just want to know how it ends. Honestly, I should just stick to watching Forensic Files to get my crime itch out... I just wish this game worked for me. It's fun to discover the clues and piece it together, but I'm completely lost sometimes and I can't find any hints. I just wish there was a hint system I guess so I can play this easier. This is a game that I always try to come back to since I love to just sit down and lightly "exercise" my brain, but this is a little too boring and difficult for me to focus on properly (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

An excellent crime solving game - if you enjoy studying crime scenes and picking apart interviews, this is for you. The cases are well written and logical, I enjoyed them. Massive issue - it seems to be browser driven, even using youtube videos as interviews, and this is a problem if your internet is unstable as the game won't even launch. So it's great when it works, but if there's an issue with the internet, you can't play. I'll continue playing it as soon as I can get it to start. Edit: Never got it working again. It's a real shame, I really liked it but this format doesn't work.

Good for learning French.

It's fun, good stories, well documented and good acting. Solutions are pretty arbitrary, you are limited in your selection of evidence to submit and the "correct" selections are debatable in some cases. It's a good blend of mystery, fmv, good use of a variety of means to bring clues to light. Very well done, would buy a sequel
