How it feels

You pore over clues and case files like a real detective, slowly piecing together a logical solution in a foggy London mystery.

What players say

Players value the FMV presentation but find the gameplay shallow. The punishing scoring system discourages exploration by giving lower scores for seeking more clues. Suspects can only be interviewed once, leaving no room to follow up on new information. The mystery is brief and the solution feels obvious to many.
