March 2025
Easy, short, game. It's not the *most* engaging but it's a fun experience. It's better when you realize it's *meant* to be played multiple times. I didn't like it the first time through because I didn't know that and so I felt like there wasn't enough time or ways to figure it out. I would say it's more story-based than a puzzle-based mystery. Especially because accusing everyone and seeing all of the endings is pretty fun and I highly recommend it. The actors are great and, while I find Abby (the main character) annoying and frustrating a lot of the time as a character, I think her actress did a really good job. They all did much better than I would expect for a small game like this. Spoilers(ish): Solving the mystery is fun. I like the correct ending sequence a lot. Spoilers: I also recommend choosing the 'Don't Trust Marcus' option at least once just to see that ending as well.

This was absolutely hilarious, and every actor did a fantastic job of bringing their character to life! I greatly appreciated the livestreaming-friendly option of turning the timer off, which allowed me to stream this on Twitch much more easily and involve the chat in every decision. The story was engaging, and playing to the end and even working towards every steam achievement was deeply satisfying. My only word of caution is to take the content warning very seriously - the warning wasn't presented very sternly, and with the tone of the game it can slip your mind that there is at least one very dark scene in the game. Highly recommended, have fun! :D

Personally i felt more relaxed playing this game rather than Ten Dates or Five Dates even though comparing them is like comparing apples to peaches. Here you have to conduct an investigation among your family members during an online family meet with timer running out and find out who poisoned your Uncle. I failed on my first attempt. Will try to replay. It is a difficult game where you have to investigate with or without arousing suspicion. add - the game is oodles of fun, it involves choosing the dialogue while talking to your dysfunctional family members and uncovering the truth to save your uncle and find the killer. it needs several retries and cannot be done in one without blind luck though.

Good FMV with humor and the right amount mystery and choices . Also, good acting and plot. Love the ability to tab through scenes after the first play through. Recommend.

Well, if you don't take it as an actual deduction game, it's pretty amusing. Lots and lots of pop references, and the jokes and humor are funny. But when you actually want to 'win the game' you have to keep replaying so you can luck out eventually, or you have to follow a guide. The game doesn't make much sense on its own, but it could be the point. Abigail is cute and the only sane person in that room. So in that spirit, I announce my willingness and total availability to give her a better life than the one she has with that psychotic family of hers. My DMs are open! :)
