How it feels

Feels like methodically piecing together a 1960s cold case through paperwork and logical deduction, with a calm, focused pace.

What players say

Players praise the serious, grounded simulation of a 1960s Soviet investigator, with cases based on real crimes. The lack of hints and small number of cases are common frustrations. Many hope for more content or a sequel.
