Recommended Sep 8, 2026

This game is a bit short but it makes up for it tenfold in the quality of the gameplay and puzzles its amazing I really enjoyed the story and the art I would highly recommend for an afternoon or evening with a friend!

Not recommended Aug 31, 2026

Sorry, it's got some fun puzzles but it also feels like they made it just long enough that you can't return it after you beat it, but not long enough to feel satisfying. And, I dunno, I saw the ending from a mile away. Very thin story.

Incredible game, it was so much fun to solve a case with my friend and laugh at how stupid we are for not figuring something out. Could not recommend more.

Recommended Aug 30, 2026

Amazing Game. Love the communication aspect and how the hints are in another person's game. The puzzles are a lot of fun, even if they are confusing sometimes, but the hints help immensely if you're really stuck - without giving too much away. Highly highly recommend. We started with unsolved case and moved on to this one and will definitely be playing the next one.
