Expectations
The murder mysteries are written to be around 30 minutes each, and since the game has a huge amount of dialogue, it is sadly not fully voiced.Currently, the three case variations stack around 1-2 hours if you push through, and around 4-5 hours if you like exploring all the possibilities.
The graphics are crude, and the gameplay is simple. It is meant as a thin-mint of an interesting story, not a massive game.
Is it niche? Yes. Might this game not be for you? Maybe.
But for those who love unraveling mysteries, I hope you are up for a challenge or two.
