About Deep Night Detective - Chapter One
Deep Night Detective! Catchy moniker, ain't it?
Detective Victor Spooky, he's a buddy of mine. He's what you might call a ghost detective. He'd, err, like me to clarify that he's a ghost detective because he's, y'see, a ghost. He investigates stuff what got nothin' to do with ghosts, but not this time!
In this, his first and, so far, most exciting adventure, Detective Spooky's been called into a rickety old mansion called Winterfield Manor to investigate two disappearances that have been traced there. The residents of the mansion are all keeping their lips zipped up tight and it's drivin' Victor up the wall! And that's not even bringing up the Will-O'-Wisp, a demon with no face, no morals, and a motive that's about as easy to make out as a ghost in a hot shower! This guy's nutty, let me tell you, and he's clearly hamming it up, but why?
Why's old no-face so keen on making it look like he's the baddest Beelzebub in town where he's purposely stepping on his own grimy feet to do it? Don't ask me, just play the game for cripes' sake, it's free! First chapter is, anyway, who knows when the author's gonna get off his lazy bum and finish this damn thing?
You got about 20-30 minutes to spare? Give it a go! Now if you'll excuse me, I got broads to drink and cocktails to flirt with.

"Deep Night Detective - Chapter One" is is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Deep Night Detective". Deep Night Detective is a godawfully bad 2D pixelcrap platformer punctuated with utterly cringey detective e-book "narrative" written at junior high school anime club dropout levels. The reception of this advertisement was so bad that the developer finally seems to have gotten the idea that there's actually no demand on Steam for a 2D pixelcrap platformer punctuated with utterly cringey detective e-book "narrative" written at junior high school anime club dropout levels. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Deep Night Detective, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Deep Night Detective - Chapt…1 found this helpful

Игра 'Deep Night Detective - Chapter One' оставила приятное впечатление. Атмосфера нуар-детектива передана отлично: мрачные улицы, джаз, загадочное убийство и циничный, но харизматичный главный герой. Графика выполнена в стильном ретро-ключе, что добавляет шарма. Сюжет неплох, хотя и немного предсказуем, но интрига сохраняется до конца. Загадки достаточно интересные, требуют внимательности и логического мышления, но не заставляют бегать в поисках гайдов. Головоломки хорошо вплетены в повествование и не кажутся надуманными. Единственный минус - короткая продолжительность. Хочется больше времени провести в этом мире и раскрыть больше дел. С нетерпением жду продолжения и надеюсь, что следующие главы будут масштабнее и глубже раскроют историю детектива. В целом, игра однозначно стоит внимания любителям нуар-детективов и point-and-click адвенчур. Рекомендую!
I mean it's fun, but it sucks to play on deck. It's unfinishable due to bugs :/
Love the style, world, and characters. Hopefully there will be more someday :)
