I blame SethTzeentach for recommending me this crap2 found this helpful
This game has a ton of potential, but half the things that happen don't make sense. The interactions with the NPCs is the core of the game, but seldom makes sense. They are all set up by default to be uncooperative, even when they are the victim you are trying to help. Typical conversation with an NPC that is the victim of a crime: Victim: please help me! Player: whats your name? Victim: i'm not telling you that Player: Have you seen anything suspicious? Victim: no Player: can I come in and look around? Victim: no way Or the classic: walked out the the street and picked up a trash bin set down the trash bin "illegal action!" NPC pulls out a gun and shoots you. wtf? The actions and responses of the NPCs just don't make any sense given the context of the situations they put you in. I love that this game is a bit of an open sandbox, but the sandbox needs to make sense.1 found this helpful
Good game, bit short once you got the ways but still funny to play, also to do the achievement Give yourself a challenge and play that's how you'll enjoy it the most.1 found this helpful
Generally good game with hard case and problem, a W game tho the optimization is quite bad and game update is rarely. Despite that the game still have amazing customization (only for house tho) Definitely should try you like doing detective and staring at case document for an hours seemingly not knowing what happening
legendary game
All of these negative reviews complaining that the game is broken and that "the only way to find a killer is through fingerprints". To that I say, skill issue. Play on hard or very hard mode and understand that not every crime is solvable with the first murder. Yes the kidnappings suck ass, let them die and move on. You're a murder detective, not a murder preventer.
