Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's detective storyline and character development, appreciating that it focuses on real mysteries rather than supernatural themes. However, the game suffers from significant technical and design issues including blurry visuals, tiny interactive objects that are difficult to locate, broken puzzles where items don't appear without hints, a confusing map interface, and most frustratingly, locked dialogue options that require additional DLC purchases—problems that remain unfixed despite the game's age.

To see your crime novels coming to life would be any novelist's nightmare. In the third installment of the Criminal Archives series, a young novelist named Damian Crow seeks to find a connection between the recent murders, which looked exactly like how Damian had written in his novels. Together and with Melenda's support from the police, you went to investigate the murders and discover a huge twist. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3420261799 Since this is one of their recent games, they've introduced the stars system, where your choices will determine which ending you'll get for each chapter. I've mentioned in the 4th game that the 6th star option doesn't work for me. I discovered from the forums that you need to purchase the DLC or Delux edition in order to access those options, which will open extra areas for the story and give you more information about it. The achievements are not included in the DLCs. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3421050381 The soundtracks were phenomenal and fit the mysterious atmosphere of the story. The character's styles and personalities are intriguing. However, I was confused when I saw one of the charac…

My wife and I have played hundreds of HOG games. This is the worst game we've ever played! The pictures are very fuzzy and out of focus. The map is very strange and non-standard in how it works. It took us a couple of hours of play to realize that there was a button to change pages on the map. Some of the puzzles are extremely hard...and we're really good a puzzles! The items and their use just didn't make sense most of the time. And to top it off, some of the "find the object" games are outright broken: the object doesn't show up until you click the space where it belongs (which you MUST find by using a hint.) We NEVER quit a game without finishing it. Until now. But this game was so frustrating that, even set on casual mode, and using the hint continuously, we finally gave up. I would not play this game if they paid me to.

And again it has a bug, that probably will never be fixed.

The game is broken and considering how long its been out and this seems to have been a long term problem it will never be fixed, please skip this one. The best dialog options to get the most content and points are locked and there appears to be no way to open them. Don't waste your time. Edit: Found out these options are locked behind PAYING MORE MONEY. Yeah I double down on DO NOT waste your money on this game.

Decent game definitely really long and lots to do. Only real complaint is Literally EVERY hotspot and object is very tiny! It makes no sense why they would make the objects that small. Like they h8 the visually impaired. My vision is fine thank God, but it's still extremely difficult. Otherwise very good game. I especially like that it's not all supernatural nonsense, but rather good detective game with real people and lots of characters. Bravo!
