The Ratline

Love this game! Some cases were really tough and UX sometimes could be better, but I'm glad to find a detective game with a bit of challenge. I looove the atmosphere of a nuar detective, the music and the fact that all the cases are connected. Do recommend the game everyone who loves the Case of the Golden Idol, they have something in common

Well designed puzzles - any delays or difficulties following clues were a failure on my part not on the part of the developers. Hint system was well balanced and i rarely needed to utilize the nuclear option

Rated far too highly for the problems which have already been covered I'm great detail in the negative reviews. Doesn't hold a candle to the better games it references.

Very fun and pretty simple game, felt like a great intro to the mystery/detective genre. The story was very well written and kept me interested and motivated.

It's... fine. It's not really a thumbs down, but it's not a thumbs up either. The beginning is fun and I like the art style, but as a lot of other reviews have pointed out, after the 4th? case the leaps in logic essentially make the cases guesswork over detective work. Furthermore, the listening into hotel rooms mechanic? Completely unnecessary. I've never seen a more shoe-horned in mechanic, add it at the beginning or don't add it.

i don't agree with many negative reviews regarding sonitron. Its logic is consistent and rather simple, it's a referenece to Type Help/Incident at galley house, and it's playing very minor role in the whole game, only in one case it is used extensively. The game itself is masterpeice of deduction games, second only to obra dinn, mainly for aestethic reasons. The difficulty is just the right amount. And if you use hint system, the hints will show exactly where clues for each blank can be found, so it's non nonsensical.
