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.

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! :)

My first FMV game, and I really enjoyed it. The entire premise of the story is weird, but it's fun. The characters are all kind of insane, but that just adds to the charm of a game that doesn't take itself too seriously. Abby, the protagonist, is so painfully awkward that it's kind of annoying, but I thought most of the characters were well done, especially Aunty June, Nan, Toby, and Bradley. Despite all the different options you can make, the flow of the story usually feels pretty smooth and natural. The game really requires no skill because the options are quite random and there's virtually no way to predict which options will give you evidence. In that sense, it's not really a "detective" game. You pretty much just have to remember which options you chose previously and try to choose different ones to get the evidence you need. The game shows you which pieces of evidence you've collected, but it doesn't show you what's left to unlock, which seems like a huge design oversight to me. I ended up making my own notes to keep track of who I should talk to and which options I should choose. Despite these flaws, though, I thought the game was really fun. If you want a "detective game" where you're actually investigating, this isn't it, but if you want a fun little interactive story, it's great.

I feel like this game gets more negative reviews than it deserves honestly There are some moments in the gameplay that aren't necessarely clear, but all you have to do is question the person that you got evidence on in the previous round. And I can admit, due to how "separate" the rounds are (starting a new round, ending in a screen showing how much you unlocked) it is not too obvious that the previous interviews affect the later ones (which, from what i read is the main complaint) But besides that the characters are a lot of fun, their personalities are distinct and its genuenly enjoyable to interact with them. Personally as an ecology student Toby had me laughing my ass off during my gameplay lmao, it's genuenly so funny to watch the family interact, all of them being assholes in their own way tldr: the game is flawed but overall a fun expierience that I reccomend

I really enjoyed who pressed mute on uncle Marcus. The acting is solid in this FMV murder mystery story. The replay ability of this one is excellent and I think a lot of the negative reviews are from the pre implementation of their skip feature that was patched in after release. The success of this game rests with the solid acting performance of the whole cast with the standout being Gabrielle Glaister as your mum. Wales interactive fans will notice a couple of regulars in the cast. This is one of Wales intreactive's better offerings and I recommend this even if you are not a massive fan of the FMV games. The only criticism I have on this is that its a little harder than some to figure out which dialog path's you have't selected.
