How it feels
You sift through a clunky police database, piecing together fragmented interview clips that feel both intimate and unsettling.

What players say
Players describe a short, unique detective game where you search transcripts of FMV clips to piece together a non-linear story. They consistently praise the acting but some find the plot silly or the search process tedious. The game is influential but brief, often finished in a single session.
