Detective Hank and the Golden Sneeze

This is a dont buy as all the episodes the same story with minor tweaking. playing the same story four times is more than a little boring to do as there is little or no diference in story. ending changes most in the different episodes but does not make up for lack of diiference in main tale.

As a fan of mystery and detective games, I decided to try this one out as it was on sale. For the pros I do enjoy that the game has a unique aesthetic and feel to it and how the culprit changes for each ending, giving a reason for us to play through it a few more times. What I didn't like was how it felt tedious, clicking through a lot of the same dialogue with brief variation in choosing a couple of different things. I wish there was a skip button. Also thought it was weird and took away from the thought process when you had to pick answers towards the end and their were arrows directing you to the right ones. But overall, I'd say if you're looking to kill an hour or so for a cute lil mystery I'd recommend it, but i'd only do it on sale.

A VN mystery solving game with four routes in the main game and 3 in the bonus. I liked the artwork mainly for its simplicity and minimal nature. This is easily a game to play when you want to play a quick game but don't want to invest too much time in it. My playthrough is longer since I had to take breaks in between my office work. The story is very simple and looking for clues amidst the conversation becomes easier on your second play through. However, by the time I was on route 3, it did start to become a little too repetitive - thankfully, they have the option to skip the dialogues until the next choice. Be warned though, you [i]may[/i] potentially miss out on any different dialogues. If I have to nitpick, I'd say the skip option can be configured on the main screen itself along with the ability to stop when it hits a different dialog route. Verdict: 7/10

Quick fun game. Interesting although quick plot. IMO, not worth full price but snatch it when on sale. It will entertain you in "that lazy rainy afternoon you wanted to stay at home". The story is simple and straightforward. I consider the challenge "medium". Some people will just blaze through it as there was no challenge at all and some others will reach the end still wondering who did it. Most people will see this as a decent challenge. Give it a try, worth a good sale price.

This is the sort of game I wish I had a sideways thumb for, because it’s certainly not terrible, but after some thought, I don’t think I’d really recommend it, especially since it isn’t free. I was worried about how complex the game’s mystery would be when it mentioned that taking notes was recommended (there was a time where I considered buying La-Mulana but after reading several reviews about ridiculously extensive notes people had had to take while playing, it kind of didn’t seem like the game for me), but by the end I really didn’t have to take any notes, and I ended up getting the correct culprit all four times first try. However, I was kind of shocked that it turned out that way, considering a significant number of the choices have absolutely no bearing on what clue you might find, which can mean that even if you know who the culprit is, you can get a bad ending solely because you didn’t collect enough evidence. How should I know that [spoiler] trying to distract Mr. Abrams to see if his clothes are ripped would instead cause Paul to reveal a hole in his clothing? [/spoiler] How was I supposed to anticipate that [spoiler] asking Mr. Abrams to show me around the museum is the…

This is a good, family friendly game. It's nothing spectacular but is written well and has good music. There are supposedly four different plots but they are largely the same, albeit with different culprits. It's entertaining but not very challenging. It's a good game to play if you just want to zone out and relax.
