Overall, the game's replayability is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the variety in puzzle-solving and the opportunity to achieve higher scores, others find it limited due to linear gameplay and a lack of diverse approaches.

“Not your conventional hidden items, but a cool little storyline, and so many innovative ways to dispose of bodies, with replay value.”
“I truly loved it and spent time going through levels a second time trying to complete them with higher scores; this game has point-and-click components, narrative, investigation, and replayability.”

“However, I don't see much replayability in this game, which is sad.”

Overall, the game's optimization is a mixed bag; while many users report smooth performance and great graphics, some experience freezing and long loading times. Additionally, concerns about battery drain suggest that further optimization could enhance the overall experience. Despite these issues, players appreciate the engaging scenarios and recommend trying the game, especially in offline mode to mitigate ad interruptions.
“It runs smoothly, graphics in general are great, scenarios are interesting and I would recommend giving it a try.”
“I would say this is a great game; I have no complaints about it. Yes, it does require you to use your brain, and one last thing: those who are saying it has too many ads and don't want to pay for the ad-free version can just play it offline. It will still run smoothly; you just won't get hints. I know the ads are there to make money on their game, but it's better than just complaining about how many ads there are; everything has ads.”
“Love the story and plotline, graphics are great and it runs smoothly.”
“Not a bad game, but it keeps freezing and stuttering, and it takes years to load.”
“Battery optimization must be improved, as it's draining the battery a lot.”

“It made me feel like it was real life, and it was scary; my conscience attacked.”
“Just finished the whole game in less than a day. It was super intriguing and fun to play. The fact that you're hiding evidence, not finding it, was really cool and refreshing. It made me feel like a serial killer. The game was short but fun regardless; hopefully, you all will do more like this in the future. I already recommended it to my best friend.”
