Tense and intricate gameplay. The sprawling story covers decades, features numerous characters, twists and turns, and delves into interesting history from WWII onward. Lots of tough choices as you try to cover several leads with limited time.

摆出来挺好看的,很有破案的氛围 但是文字量很大,线索茫茫多,看着真辛苦,还有一堆老外的名字,看着看着我都忘了谁对谁,app一退出去拍两张照片就会自动退出,真的心塞 四人局,第一个案件玩了三十分钟,一个人跑去一边吃外卖,一个开始手机斗地主(我)

Well, it's from Portal so the rules are a complete mess as usual. The web app used to drive this is fairly interesting though it takes a little bit of poking around to really understand what's going on. The game works well but I found myself getting lost in the convoluted mess of the first few cases and generally stopped caring about what was happening. It's a neat experiment and the crime database was fun to play with but the tangled mess of threads in the story has me completely disinterested in continuing to play through it.
