Aug. 2024

I enjoyed it. I finished it surprisingly quickly, even in getting 100% achievements, but I suspect you could play a LOT longer if you don't piece things together too quickly. The narrative style is enjoyable and only had a few errors that I noticed, and the gameplay loop is just long enough where it isn't fast-paced, but doesn't drag on forever either. If you like interactive fiction games and puzzles, you're in the right place.

Bought as game design reference. Its unique pov of "getting away from accusations" is fascinating, and is a first step towards a better detective game narration. As the phantom that haunts detective games for ages - the "who will validate player's solution" phantom, is finally given a blow in this game. Instead of validation, use cause and effects, which is simply a more dynamic, engaging way of telling a detective story. And really, the narration backend, ink, made also by the devs, is clearly powerful to allow them to do all sort of crazy narration experiments.

Interesting twist on the old school who-done-it mystery, cause you-done-it but can you manage to be found innocent? Quick game with multiple replays to make different choices. I've been enjoying it. The design and music are perfect for this period 1930's story. The characters and dialogue are reminiscent of black-and-white films. A well-rounded game, and my only complaint is that it's too short. Still, it's not as easy as you would think to get yourself off the Hook and into a nice hotel on land.

Super fun, fast to play but very repeatable, there are still a lot of options I have not explored yet. There is also a button that allows you to replay each scene as you did last time so it doesnt get boring repeating every scene.

Dec. 2023

A short story that you have 8 hours to escape from murders. To open all branch and ending, need to keep repeat the game and 1 play-through can be short. I am puzzle and detective lover but not really like to repeat the story over and over again to discover more. 1 hours is my play time to repeat at least 5 times above until first time escape from murder accuse. If you looking for a short puzzle game and interested to repeat the story and discover more, then this is your game.
