What players say
Players call this Wordle with a murder mystery theme. The story mode is short, around an hour, with about 30 word puzzles, and multiple reviewers note it has no real conclusion. The typewriter keyboard for entering guesses is a well-liked feature. Players split on whether the story feels integrated or just runs in the background.
