As someone that loves a good detective/mystery theme in games, this was very frustrating to try and solve on the first case alone. Needs more clue context to find the codes in the menu along with the player model placement getting moved all over the room from a single interaction. With those fixes, I am sure there would be more players! (I tried searching for a walkthrough and found none due to not enough completed the game) 4/10 currently

I downloaded the game because it had 'good reviews', so I just wanted to put on here that I don't think anyone has actually ever completed the game. There are hardly any clues to go off of, and after 1.2 hours I've given up lol

I downloaded the game because I really liked the premise of a pixel-graphic mystery. However, even with four people total in a VC trying to figure out the puzzle: after about an hour and a half, we were stumped at Issac's locker. "In a Detective's Mind" is way too abstract with barely any visual or hint indicators to get past two puzzles. And perhaps I'm missing some cultural context(?), or even just BAD at the game genre, but this game is simply aggravating and frustrating to solve in every sense of the word. I ended up trying to skip to the next case to see if it was easier or maybe a little more clear, and I think it was just as irritating.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
