How it feels

A polished, relaxed hidden-object adventure with a moody detective story set in 1950s New York, focused on solving mysterious murders through point-and-click puzzles.

What players say

Players enjoy the story and find the map helpful for navigation. The hidden object puzzles are the sequential type where one item leads to another, and there are morphing objects to find. A few note achievements can be annoying or some mechanical puzzles confusing. The game works fine on Linux and has a substantial bonus chapter.
