good game but finished the game in just over an hour without rushing. gave me a bit of motion sickness and a headache since there aren't many controls for the graphics. Seems to be a common issue with other games they have. not really worth the price.

I'm dissapointed in this game. It's not a bad game, but in advance if you don't want to read my long opinion: it just doesn't worth the money. It hurts to see the potential of the game being wasted. There is 3 crime scenes in the game, they are all very very short and you really don't need to take notes at all. Trust me, I have the brain of a goldfish and even I didn't have to. [spoiler] It's the worst at the third case where you only have to find a phone on the ground that isn't even locked! And you know the whole case. No twists, no secrets. [/spoiler] At some points I had the feeling that even the game doesn't take itself seriously. [spoiler] The husband prints out their photo and writes on it "i hate you you cheated on me". I mean... come on? You really didn't have any other, at least a bit realistic way to make us to find out that it's a cheating situation and the husbad knows about it? [/spoiler] After those moments you only continue walking and investigating because you hope there is more in the story... but no, that's all. [spoiler] For example in tthis exact cheating case. There was the so called genious boy with the mom who has leukemia. It had zero connection with th…

The game isn't terrible.. but the length for the price is not worth it. On top of that, not being able to change the mouse sensitivity had me spending almost 10 minutes just trying not to throw up at how insane it was. Took adjusting. I like the no hand-holding and figuring out what happened yourself, but for three extremely short stories it's just sad. Save your money and wait until it's less than $5 in the future 'cause otherwise it just isn't worth. I love detective/crime games so I was so excited for this to come out.. but so, SO disappointed.

Detective – The Test, developed by k148 Game Studio and published by JanduSoft, is a first-person investigative experience that attempts to strip the detective genre down to its bare essentials. Rather than delivering cinematic storytelling, dramatic cutscenes, or guided clue systems, the game challenges players to rely entirely on their own observation and logical reasoning. The premise is simple: you are presented with a crime scene, and your task is to explore, gather information, and ultimately answer a set of key questions about what transpired. There are no glowing markers, no overt hint systems, and very little narrative handholding. The game positions itself as a true test of deductive skill, aiming to recreate the sensation of independently piecing together a case. The structure revolves around three separate cases, each set in a distinct location with its own context and clues. These environments, which include spaces like private residences and small public establishments, are designed to be fully explorable in first-person perspective. Players move through the environment examining objects, reading notes, and interpreting environmental details to build a mental picture…

Probably the best by version of their detective series by this dev. If they keep it up and add quality of life, like crouching, an in game notepad etc, they will be on par with "casefiles".
