About Detective March Forward - The Missing Will

Overview
March isn’t your typical youngster. She has a knack for mysteries and an itch to solve them. Naturally, getting her first-ever case from her best friend Milly fills her with excitement, but it won’t be an easy one.
Mr. Peter, Milly’s grandfather, passed away, leaving behind a will that has gone missing. Milly’s suspicious-looking uncle claims to be in possession of it. There’s no telling if it’s true, though, as he is both cunning and dastardly. On top of that, Mr. Peter has come back as a ghost, haunting the very mansion he once lived in. March will have to both tackle the case and deal with Mr. Peter’s ghostly shenanigans. And the clock is ticking.
In this brand new point-and-click adventure game, you will take on the role of March Forward to search for the truth behind Mr. Peter’s missing will. You’ll have to use your keen eyes and detective’s logic to find clues. Use your camera to take snapshots of scenes to review clues and have March find solutions to puzzles. Solve brain-wracking puzzles to unravel who is in possession of the will and, consequently, holds Milly’s future in their hands. Keep a lookout for the playfully mischievous ghost of Mr. Peter who’ll try to help March along the way.
On this adventure, you will experience:
• Beautiful and colorful classic cartoon art style
• Fully voice-acted scenes in English with subtitles
• Unique camera system for reviewing clues and looking for missing items
• Dozens of puzzles to solve, each more brain-wracking than the last

Don your detective’s hat. Sharpen your brain. Prepare your lens. And help March uncover the truth behind her best friend Milly’s grandfather’s missing will. Milly’s uncle is a cunning one, though and Mr. Peter’s ghost is getting in the way. Are you ready to take on the challenge?

Frustrating yet enjoyable. There's plenty of opportunity for soft-locking yourself from completing the game, the hitboxes for items and photos are an absolute mess, and I swear that the damned 15-piece puzzle isn't checked to confirm it's solveable before giving it to you (not all 15p puzzles apparently are). A lot of effort has gone into it, but I think a bit of polishing is still in order before I could give it a recommendation. Being able to soft lock yourself (example I never got the silver key before going upstairs) means I can't recommend it until that is resolved. Constructive feedback - Implement some sort of chapter save mechanic - Make hitboxes more clear or perhaps implement some mouse glowing mechanic once you're hitting the hitbox - confirm the 15 piece puzzles is solveable before giving it to player11 found this helpful
Detective March Forward - The Missing Will is a browser/mobile/Flash tier point and click adventure/hidden object style game. Like an Artifex Mundi HOG, but really lame. It's sincerely made, I guess, but a highly lacklustre attempt. I couldn't find this on the app stores, presumably Google and Apple rejected it. It's a little buggy, locked resolution... this might as well be done in a web browser, and as such has no deep interest for gamers.7 found this helpful
I gave up trying to place the gold leaves at the end. Needs wider room for error.5 found this helpful
The game is a bit glitchy and if you get stuck you are pretty much screwed because there are no hints and no one really responds to the discussion board. With that being said it is very challenging and worth giving a chance.5 found this helpful
Aside from the occasional bugs (specifically the chef puzzle and the box puzzle near the end of the game), I don't see why anyone shouldn't play this especially if you like detective games or puzzle games. I like how it forces you to look from every nook and cranny in order to proceed. It really tested my patience and observation skills. Looking forward to another new case from Detective March Forward if the developers decide to make another one. P.S. Bought for a discounted price1 found this helpful
Fun point and click game. I am not deriding the length of the game when I state I wish it would have lasted a bit longer. Recommended.1 found this helpful
