A good Slasher's vintage. Entertaining and well written. My only grief is that the investigation is solved simply by exhausting all the dialogs.

I enjoyed the game overall. It certainly has its moments and some interesting references that make a play-through fun.

The graphics are about average, nothing special, but they serve the purpose. Only the walk cycles for the female characters were a bit weird and could use some work.

The puzzles are all in all logical, with some good ideas here and there, though in the end rather repitetive.

With about 35 minutes of play time, this is a nice snack for hungry players.

A really stellar game! The puzzles were just the right level of difficulty, there was great variety in the gameplay with many different locations to explore, and the story was nicely fleshed out! I enjoyed the characters very much too. I particularly liked the opening sequences where you were exploring the different rooms interviewing everyone, I kind of wish there were more clues to be found in that section. Snooping through files and putting the pieces together is always fun! I think this is a really strong game in general, if I have one minor criticism it is that sometimes the puzzles have the same solution so it got a touch repetitive. At least there were various humorous outcomes to solving each puzzle, even when the method was the same. Other than that minor quibble, I think it's top-notch!

Quite long for a mags entry. The game makes you part of a pulp novel story, playing with genre tropes and cliches. Very good game.
