    • “The story is amazing, mind-blowing!!!!”
    • “It's almost like you're guided down an invisible path the entire time, making it less of a game and more of an interactive story.”
    • “There aren't more than one outcome for anything; whenever you stray away from the path of the story, you just get a 'I'm going the wrong way' kind of message.”

  • gameplay
    39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its engaging mechanics and compelling storytelling, offering a unique detective experience that requires puzzle-solving skills.

    • “Great story and unusual gameplay makes for an immersive experience; it's a great thrill!”
    • “The game mechanics are cumbersome; it doesn't save your progress if you are in the middle of an episode and have to step away for whatever reason. The extra clues button needs to be tucked into a menu and/or require confirmation, and there are a lot of spelling errors.”
    • “Started off great, but it started removing options to investigate. I watched gameplays and it shows that I didn't even get some important clues. Now I can't even investigate what exactly got poisoned because it removed absolutely any evidence required for it.”
    • “Somewhat okay story, boring gameplay.”
  • monetization
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads and the option to watch ads for rewards, which supports the developers.

Overall, the game strikes a balance between monetization and player enjoyment, though some players wish for more generous rewards for ad views.

    • “As a murder mystery fan, I could never find a better detective game than this. It has an amazing storyline and no ads at all. It isn't one of those games that just care about the money; this game is amazing and has so much suspense. I've finished all the episodes in season 1!”
    • “Really recommend this! 👍🏻 No ads, gives you good useful clues, great storyline, but you need to buy the second season (not that much expensive and season 1 is free). Overall, this is the best game I've ever played.”
    • “Enjoyable, and what I love the most is that there's absolutely no ads interfering at all.”
    • “I keep having to watch ads just to get the clues, and this definitely ruins the fun of the game (especially as some of them are confusing like the 9z one in the first episode of season 3. I thought that it was z6 as a z looks more like a z or an n when rotated, not a 2, but maybe I am just dumb.) A fix could be making clues cost 1 badge. I have probably spent more badges on clues than buying seasons 2 and 3.”
    • “Good gameplay, but I'm having a problem. I want to open my season 2, but it isn't working. I tried doing in-app purchases, but it's not working. How do I get those 80 badges to open season 2?”
