Reviews
- Innovative interrogation system allowing free-form questioning, making suspects respond naturally and increasing immersion.
- Engaging and intricate detective gameplay focused on evidence gathering, organization, and logical deduction rather than straightforward point-and-click mechanics.
- Atmospheric presentation with a retro computer interface and features like stress level monitoring of suspects and varying case outcomes for replayability.
- Poor French translation and localization issues affecting understanding of the game.
- AI interrogation sometimes inconsistent or confused, with suspects giving contradictory or irrelevant answers, reducing immersion and frustrating players.
- Game mechanics such as limited questions per session, enforced wait times, expensive in-game purchases, and difficult mini-games can be tedious and disrupt gameplay flow.

8 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay offers a smooth and intriguing interrogation mechanic but is hindered by restrictive question limits and monetization that feel frustrating. It leans heavily on text-based interactions suited more for keyboard/mouse users and may lack variety in case motives, leading to a somewhat repetitive experience. While the premise is promising, the gameplay currently feels limited and could benefit from deeper, more diverse mechanics.
“Other than that the gameplay felt smooth the whole way through.”
“Players looking for action-heavy police gameplay may find its pace restrained.”
“Its text-heavy computer interface and free-text interrogation mechanics may be more comfortable with keyboard and mouse input than traditional gamepad controls.”
“It has some mechanics that just make the game annoying such as only getting 10 questions before the interview ends, with the two ways to overcome this being paying $10 to halve the wait time (5 mins to 2:30 mins) or paying $150 to get 10 extra questions.”
“Players looking for action-heavy police gameplay may therefore find its pace restrained.”
“Its text-heavy computer interface and free-text interrogation mechanics may also be more comfortable with keyboard and mouse input than traditional gamepad controls.”
