I’ll agree with Oscar on too much cel shading (similar style like we’ve seen in Hoodwink), but you gotta hand it to the authors on using full animation at places instead of a popular comic style.

+ interesting detective story premise
+ Nice music

- I don’t know why, but this

screams casual, even though I totally forgot it’s going to be an episodic game, so the first episode is likely to be easier than the rest of it.

I can see how you might think ‘casual game’ from that, but it’s actually from the FBI database used a few times in the game, not an Hidden Object scene or somesuch.

And while I’m admittedly biased, of course, I don’t think we’ve made the first episode too easy but nicely challenging. Hopefully players agree when it comes out, we’ll see!

I think this game looks great based on the new trailer! I really can’t wait to play it. Looks intriguing!

Thanks everyone’s who been up-voting and favoriting us so far!

I also wanted to share that there is now a video of the demo available! YouTube Let’s Player Toegoff, also one of our beta testers, has a video of his playthrough of the demo up for all to see. So check it out and see what the gameplay looks like for yourself!

Oh dear, it’s got those ugly oversaturated thickly outlined cartoon graphics I hate

Looks like a Floodlight Games cell from one of JJ’s Murder Mystery Club games.

I posted but realized I should run it by a mod first—this wasn’t meant as a ‘bump’ post with no content! I’m not sure how to delete it altogether.

Any idea of when it might be released? I read somewhere that it looks promising in getting the game up on Steam.

News on that is coming soon…for now, Fall 2012

I haven’t heard back from the mod, but, here goes!

Just played through the newly released demo, this game is going to be truly awesome.
