Pixel P.I.

It has potential but it still needs work to fill narrative, gameplay and artistic gaps. I hope said fields improve with following updates since at its current state i would hardly recommend it to others than hardcore mystery fans who want a short, somewhat inventive game. ***SPOILERS STARTING FROM HERE*** On the narrative side, when i solved the first case the story jumped into the conclusion without giving me sufficient time to think about it. The game assume you can deduce Ethan the robot is the same one used by the Hologram Detective but i found this not being the case, since it does not give you enough info and context to get there. On the second case, i was going quite well until i had to debunk a statement using the evidence of the second shot when i already had information to debunk the following statement of the found stolen card. However, i wasn’t able to formulate a question to debunk the recounted card accusation and i had to use a hint to know the game wanted me to answer the shots statement first and it got me out of the story flow. I believe the Hologram investigator´s letter could have been more useful if appeared a bit early but i liked Louie´s dog being a fake cl…

Good game - can be an interesting story, not fully released yet though, curious to see how it turns out

Oh my goodness I am having so much fun with this game, I first played the demo after an ace attorney binge so getting to play it case 1-4 today was a blast! Can't wait for the final cases to come out! https://youtu.be/ozStufOyRPg

The mechanic of writting in your own words is so good, I love that I can have so many typos or even write in spanish and the game still understand what I'm trying to say! Got stuck a lot, but the hints in game were really helpful.

I like this game! It's very similar to Contradiction or Doctor Dekker with a side of Ace Attorney, which I can appreciate. The art style is really nice and worked well for the style of the game as a whole. I also really liked the design of being able to ask any question and seeing if it was relevant or not, or if that question would help unlock parts of future answers. The way the hint system is set up was also nice, gradually becoming more and more clear each time you clicked on it so that you could try and figure things out for yourself even after viewing a hint. I do wish there was a bit more detective work in actually solving the cases instead of it being solved for you - for example, I didn't even realize I'd solved the first case before the achievement popped up as I was still going through new evidence. I understand there are limitations, of course, and it was not a major problem for me while playing. I was more interested in the cases themselves rather than what was happening outside of them with Pixel, mainly because most of the 'meat' is in the cases themselves. This is not entirely a bad thing, unless we are intended to care a lot about Pixel and the world she lives in…

A short but enjoyable game. At the time of this writing, case 3 is available. I finished it in just over an hour. The story is interesting. I look forward to the next case to find out what's going on. The writing is a bit immature near the beginning, but once you're deep into the sleuthing it improves. The main draw/gimmick of this game is the freeform text entry. This occurs in two places. First, you can ask any interviewee anything, and if its a registered question from the actual police interview, the answer is decrypted for you. This works really, really well and was a lot of fun to play with. In fact, if anything it seems underutilized, like there is so much potential here that could be harnessed (and maybe it will be). It makes me look forward to more. Second, when you find a contradiction, you select a statement and a piece of evidence, then enter text explaining the contradiction. This works... much less well. More than once, I selected the correct pair of items but my text for whatever reason was insufficient. It feels unwieldly and there is no clear feedback of "hey you got the right idea but explain it better" which made me try other statements/evidence instead of ref…
