For those of you who are unfamiliar with the developer, Daily Magic, they have also brought us the Dark Dimensions series and the Sable Maze series, among others. wave

I'm really enjoying this game. The murder mystery aspect is quite complex. Lots of motives and suspects. A notebook helps to keep track of characters and clues. A nice mix of HO scenes as far as variations from the standard list type. Mini-games are pretty easy. Highly recommend.

I got this game with a free CE code from Customer Support and I agree with you, Sparkle - I thought it was an enjoyable and entertaining game. I didn't understand some of the lackluster reviews it got on the customer reviews.

One amusing thing I noticed, which I will put in spoiler tags so as not to ruin it for anyone who has yet to play the game:

Click to reveal..
The scene with the fountain and the diving board. I wouldn't want to use that diving board unless I had a death wish. scared grin


This is a game I would play again. I had fun with it. Thanks for posting your comments. smile

I haven't read the reviews, but I can guess what some may have found to criticize. The characters are static and the detective has no voice, just text. Kind of odd that the other characters do talk. Perhaps this was an effort to make the detective gender-neutral. The mini-games may be too easy for those who like more of a challenge. But for me, the story makes up for these minor shortcomings. A nice long game too.
