Nov. 2024

A perfect example of how good a minimalist video game can be. Nice artwork, and a nice twist at the end.

July 2024

A relatively quick detective game with enjoyable background music, good art style, and fun gameplay. My favorite parts were the taxi rides between each location which gave you the opportunity to have conversations with the driver. Overall, I recommend this game if you enjoy puzzle solving and just want to relax :)

July 2024

Enjoyed this very much. The mystery is a little straightforward (again, ignore the playtime because I left this running) but the art direction is stylish and the soundtrack is strong. I would say that you can probably get through this in 2.5 - 3 hours. I also really loved the flavour that the conversations with the taxi drivers gave. I would love to see a sequel with more to it, but this was a perfect snack-sized noir detective game!

July 2024

I do NOT recommend at the full price, it's way too short for that. But nice visuals, nice story, very good world-building. But extremely short, and no you won't need a walkthrough like someone else suggested. Well, no shame if you do, but the average mystery game player will not.

April 2024

A Case of Distrust is an adventure game where you play as a private investigator and solve a case. A 20's ambiant with some nice graphics... I recommend it.
