Was a bit more confusing than previous parts, and felt like lots of leaps of logic had to be made at points, but overall good. The 4th scenario is a highlight, was very fun and unique.

A decent and short investigation game.
A huge disclaimer is that the translation from the game's original Korean is... sub-par. For an example, you'll be given an event to piece together, with one question being "___ is related to what happened" and another being "___ has to do with what happened", with both questions meaning completely different things that make more sense in Korean (probably, idk) than in English.
The overall mystery and such was fun, but this game has the issue lots of small detective games have where it has lots of interesting mechanics and features that you only get to use once.
Having a limit on whatever that thing was called was stupid. I didn't reach the limit, I didn't even get close, but it was an unnecessary constraint that didn't really add anything.
TLDR, get for at most 10 dollars.

I tried playing game years ago, found it quite fun, and frankly got too scared to keep playing. I came back recently, and I'm glad I did.

This is by no means a 'scary game' or even a horror game. However, you're investigating the CIA's archives and their dirty history, so every little detail of your environment is going to be spooky. I agree with the steam tag labeling this as a thriller more than I would call it horror.

If you're looking for a grand reveal at the end, you won't get it. I frankly wish there was one. Instead, it just kind of fizzles out. However, since this is about real events, I suppose some grand ending cutscene would feel out of place.

Overall, 8/10. The cheap price of this game heavily impacted that score. If it was more expensive I'd say it's a lot worse.

A nice and short mystery game with really interesting and cool mechanics. You get testimonies, but don't know for sure who said what testimony, and need to piece together who's who and who said what. I don't think it's the most unique thing in the world, but it's rare enough that it's still a uniquely fun experience. Not long, but also not expensive so I'm not mad about it.
The twists and mental gymnastics you have to take for the plot to make sense as you're figuring it out, only for it all to neatly fall into place in the end, is so wonderful. Recommend anyone who enjoys solving mysteries check this game out.

A very fun mystery game! Originally written in Chinese, but the game has a translation. It's not always perfect, but any errors are punctuation or spacing, not grammar or spelling (as far as I noticed).

It says it's inspired by the Ace Attorney series, and anyone familiar can tell playing this. It carries over some flaws from the AA series (sometimes I understood the logic behind a contradiction, but had no clue what evidence to present to that fact) but overall every piece of logic and reasoning was expressed well and made perfect sense to me.

There are lots of cool ideas that are only ever used once (would have loved to see more than one brainstorm) and some details left unresolved (probably for a potential sequel), but these are ultimately minor gripes.

Overall, really good detective game that I had a lot of fun with. Highly recommend to anyone looking for good murder mysteries.

Fun game, and really fits the classic Sherlock games' vibe. However, it is painfully short. I wouldn't say this game, or the deluxe edition, are worth the full price, but are definitely worth it on sale. I got the deluxe edition for $27, and I think that's a bit pricey but I'm ultimately satisfied.

good enough. I'll admit i like games where i run around a big map and do silly little tasks that have no real impact, but after how long it took me to beat the game i really feel like that dragged on a bit too long. some aspects of the gameplay are cool, though (mercenaries and IYKYK) and those were super interesting to me and were the main driving forces of my enjoyment. the story was p good, nothing groundbreaking but still touching. I got it at a pretty significant discount (for 15 if i recall correctly) and id say its definitely worth that much.

look. this is genuinely just the best game ever made.

A pretty good short puzzle game. Some of the puzzles are a bit wonky, but it's nothing too game breaking. It's clearly a bit rough around the edges, but I still enjoyed the ambiance and the story, and I really liked being able to explore a mansion in this way which is surprisingly rare in games.

tldr: I got this on sale and it was worth it. do the same

it was ok. short, free, and entertaining, so definitely worth playing if you're at all interested. makes some weird decisions in terms of game development, but this game is nowhere near long enough for me to have strong opinions about it. just dont expect a masterpiece or anything. solid 6/10
