very good, bazinga
Enjoyable time filler
The game was surprisingly shorter than I had expected it to be. It took me about 3 hours to complete. At first the game and story were very engaging. I really enjoyed the idea of having access to pretty much all information and having the ability to do face and image scans from videos and photographs. However, it became a little less enjoyable as the actual storyline for the game kicked in pretty much full force when you meet the main character. You're then just forced to jump through whatever hoops the game holds out in front of you whether you want or not. The investigation then becomes annoyingly predictable and the game becomes less fun. The way the trailer looked it seemed like you would be pretty busy and very involved in your workload, but you get maybe 2 work days of fun investigating. I'm honestly not sure if I would recommend this game at full price. I got it on sale for about $8 and would probably say it's worth about that if not less. This wouldve been so much cooler if there were more caseloads that didn't have anything to do with the story's 'hidden' agenda or just not as obvious about it. Even better if it had an completely separate option of play that was a set nu…
wonderful story with a cool little twist at the end i eat this stuff up and will continue too. also the gameplay was awesome!!
What a game! I went into this with zero expectations and came out amazed. This game is incredibly written, the puzzles, the story, the characters. It is all genuinely incredible. The one thing I like about this game is that you feel immersed into the experience, it feels very real and you feel as if real lives are at stake. The cases are somewhat predictable, but not fully, there was times I was questioning myself and what to do. At some point I genuinely felt panic. It is very hard not to love this game, the sound design to the style of the game is amazing. I love being able to figure things out by myself and feel somewhat proud that I did it, although it doesn't have the most complicated puzzles, It is super satisfying when you put the pieces together. As for the ending, It felt a little rushed, I won't say any spoilers so don't worry, but the ending felt like this happened and then this. It felt all a little sudden, but I presume that's the point. While it is a short game, I would say it's worth the money, the graphics are nice and it runs super smooth. I have no complaints. I cannot wait to hear more news on the second game, I will be staying updated, becaus…
Easily one of the best games I've ever played. Instils fear and stress as if you're the one behind the computer. Incredible plot with twists after twists I never saw coming. The puzzles and challenges require a lot of attention and pattern recognition, not too difficult, but a balance of challenging and investing. It's obvious that so much love and care was put into the development in this game, I'd recommend to anyone who likes having their mind ♥♥♥♥♥♥ with!
