About A Case of Distrust
Play as 1920s private investigator Phyllis Malone, interrogating suspects and catching them in lies using evidence and deduction across Prohibition-era San Francisco's speakeasies and back alleys. This gorgeously hand-drawn noir mystery stands out for its sharp writing, historically grounded storytelling that grapples with racism and women's struggles, and Saul Bass-inspired visual style that perfectly captures the era.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Stylistically gorgeous and as someone with two amber eyed cats I was delighted. Really enjoyable short mystery! I do have to emphasise how short it is though so keep that in mind with the price as there's no replayability. I got it on a heavy discount so I'm satisfied. Really hope there'll be a sequel as it's teased at the end.1 found this helpful
Quit pretty quickly because it's dialogue driven and the dialogue immediately annoyed me1 found this helpful
a fun noir story. it wasn't a long story but i enjoyed it. i really dug the art style. despite being simple it has depth.
好玩，总体是顺理成章又吸引人的推理。
A low-pace, ease-you-into-gaming level of simplicity, combines with a unique art style to bring you into the 1920's, to click through a short private investigation. The achievements are a checklist of the game content, and it can be completed in about 2-4 hours. Click everything and use all your clues on everyone to see how they react. Might require a second playthough if you miss some clues early on. Pretty standard completion; 5/7.
A short and stylish detective adventure. This game offers strong dialogue and well-written characters. The artstyle is very uniqe and fitting, but I wish the music was used in a more interesting way. The investigation mechanics are pretty interesting and I wish there were even more ways to use the information you gather. You might be able to finish this game in one sitting, but the experience with stay with you for a long time afterwards. Even though the game is short, there is some optional content, which is as enjoyable as the main story. I would be interested in another story with this protagonist in the future.
