Great story, acting, environments, costumes and art. While the story doesn't deviate much aside from death scenes, you can see their handcrafted environments, with great costumes.2 found this helpful
Great game and concept. Its fun to play as a detective game and great story pacing. A game that you should give it a try and worth playing!
hilarious but still stable story. The only con is the fact that there is no next game.
The first thing to note about UD has to be that the production values are through the roof. It could have been released as a tv drama with some editing. The acting is what you'd expect if you watch dramas, which for a video game is quite good. I've watched my share of dramas but am not usually into historical settings. I think I got this because it's one of the few FMV drama games I've found that aren't either dating sims or grim. There are some genuinely funny moments both in the main story and the bad endings. Story is engaging enough and forgoes the massive padding that tv dramas have. As for the puzzle elements, the deduction segments strike a good balance between not just telling you the answer but also not being obtuse. I did not have the technical issues some did; exactly one time I had a minigame freeze, and it ran fine after reloading either the scene or the game. I don't remember ever having to access an inventory or struggling to click too fast. The story interface is clear showing alternate scenes/endings to be found. For the price, I would have wanted one or two more big mysteries in the game to solve. As it seems we're not getting a sequel, this would have al…
A thousand words can be writed about this FMV game, but it would add nothing to the mean that it is perfect, cast, acting, writing, camera, scenery, sets, costumes, music - nothing can be improved. The game is the first five episodes, the dlc is the episodes 6-17, worth the full price. There are some mistakes with translation, to pass some ridles it require to go to main menu and open the inventory about which there is not a explanation, one mini game required such often clicking that it was immpossible to pass, so i launched the autoclicking program, but the movie quality overhemently compensate the cons of the progamming part. Would gladly watch hours of behind the scene materials, but there aren't any, almost no information in the english internet. https://baike.baidu.com/en/item/Underdog Detective/96111
I enjoyed this games story and the choices you can make to get a different ending but also the true ending. I just didn't like the portion where it doesn't explain well enough in english how to not get caught by the shop keep but i figured out how it worked eventuall y
