    • “I've been looking for detective games for quite a while now and I've found this gem with all of the goodies in it; the story was astounding, the cases were not that far-fetched and would still be somehow believable, the characters were so enticing and the gameplay was absolutely tremendous.”
    • “The story was nicely written and the puzzles are great and unique.”
    • “This game is mind-blowing, wouldn't mind more graphical story lines.”
    • “The story lines and clues are too vague and unchallenging, and I'm tired of 'intuition' being used as a legitimate investigative tool.”
