Community Insight:
The way to include and how the story goes arrested our attention.
This is the best game we've played in our life.
We never do reviews but this one is review worthy. We especially love the storyline and the crimes in each chapter get better and better. We love the fact the story based out of Detroit. The graphics are great. We cant put it down we usually get bored binging games but this one has us addicted. We dnt really have anything negative to say about it. You guys did an awesome job putting the whole thing together.
We really enjoyed this game, it is very interesting and entertaining. We strongly recommend.
This game is amazing in spite of one major issue. The 4th best game Ive ever played, behind the Murder mystery series by the same author. We cant figure out the lake house (s2, e2) puzzle. The hints (and Ive watched a ton of ads to receive these hints) are not helping. Combined with the fact we cant save our progress and slowly work through it over multiple days, we cant really play this game. A shame, because this is such a great game. It just is unfortunate that the game does such a good job of hooking you in, but the hints arent solid enough to get people who are struggling enough info to continue the game. (Also when is MM4 coming out? That was an excellent series!).
Im so addicted we just keep playing we definitely recommend.
We love this game, but we are stuck on the blood samples part and the clues arent helping.
Im stuck on the one with the blood samples on season 1. If anyone could help us that would be great.
Its a great game but we AM SICK AND TIRED OF HAVING TO RESTART THE WHOLE EPISODE WHEN MY APP RESTARTS! Its so annoying!! Make it to where we can start where we left off.
We absolutely love this game!! We got stuck and the developer contacted us immediately with the solution so we could continue the adventure we appreciate the great hints, as they keep you highly engaged in the mystery! Looking forward to moving series 2.
We've played all your games and we really like the unique style of them, especially this game which has a much more engaging and easier to follow gameplay. That being said, something that could use some improvement is the hint system. We're currently stuck on the second case of Season 2 because we've hit a dead end on how to proceed, and all the hint tells us is that "we should have enough to work with", which doesn't help since we don't know what we're supposed to do to advance the story. Considering the momentum system and there being no guides or walkthroughs, this is really getting in the way of us being able to enjoy the game more.
Just like every other game yall have released in this series, this game was SO fun! Ive played all the detective games and time and crime & we Have loved every single one. Im always so sad when we get to the end Bc we dont want it to end! You guys Are by far our favorite developers hands down! Please release some more episodes.
We have never done a review for anything other than this because we never believed anything worth the time. However, this series of games has always been completely captivating in its story line. The intelligence behind the investigations is phenomenal. The understanding of the criminal mind and the understanding of the workings of a detectives mind are completely impressive. And thats coming from someone who worked as one. We believe we reviewed one of your other games and said this before. These could be award winning movies or novels in their own right. This game specifically has the capability of becoming a tv series. Keep up the good work. We look forward to more episodes to work through. We enjoy solving the puzzles and hunting down the criminals. And seeing what happens next in the story. Congrats on another great one.
Fun game so far! A lot funner than hidden objects murder mystery games.
We cant get enough of this game! We especially love how it has a strong storyline and how all the cases are realistic and based on real life detective work. Im dying to find out what happens next! :).
You son of a gun, back at it again with another of your marvelous games! We especially enjoyed the new drag-and-drop mechanics, as well as the very distinct Detroitian setting.
