I just played the first game and I did not like it vey much. Mechanisms are fine. Probably I did not like it because of the story: just guessing a sequence of events related to war. I am not sure whether I will continue playing it, currently I do not feel like it. I was expecting a “modern” story, but this is related to old events coming from world war. This should be warned in the box, since I think “the modern crime” label in the box is completely misleading and not everyone likes war stories.

Amazing campaign. You need to be prepared for a lot from the beginning. I wish there was some intro scenario included.

We've finished the first chapter and it was AMAZING. Tense, thematic, with just enough clues and loose threads to feel like a real live investigation. You must be prepared to do a lot of reading, and the online aspect might be daunting for some (not to mention that the "signature" element is poorly explained). But for fans of cooperative mystery solving, this is the one.
