A good detective game. If you enjoy point & clicks this is probably worth playing. It's a fair bit different than most mystery/puzzle games I've played.

Pros:
- Unlike a lot of P&C games you don't just collect random stuff for no apparent reason that happens to become useful later on.
- The way you choose various observations to put together pieces of the puzzle and answer questions is unique and very well done. Some of the options are obviously wrong but most of them could fit somehow, it's up to you to think it through. It's not too difficult for the most part but I confess there were a few I gave up on and consulted a guide for.

Cons:
- They could have brought emotion into it better. The enjoyment came more from solving puzzles than any sort of 'Oh no we have to catch this evil killer quickly!' sort of emotional response.
- The controls could be improved
- When observing someone it was more a matter of randomly hovering to find observation points, I found at least half of them to be entirely non-obvious.
- I dislike achievements that require multiple playthroughs when there's no replay value, or achievements for making frequently obvious mistakes.

Verdict: 7/10
