How it feels

You click through clunky 90s computer interfaces, piecing together clues from emails and chat logs at a deliberate, thoughtful pace.

What players say

Players compare Gumshoe Detective Agency to The Roottrees are Dead and Nancy Drew, but say it comes up short. The mystery is fun and the 1990s internet atmosphere is a hit, yet the game is widely seen as overpriced for its 1-2 hour length. Complaints center on a clunky browser with no back button or search history, a non-functional in-game notes app, and frequent glitches that require restarts.
