It's really a mix of The Room and Crime Investigation. So far i have finished the first crime scene and the story seems to unfold quite good. This game is allready out worldwide - i guess - cause i could download it in europe. Very happy to have this pearl. This is exactly what i expected. Thanks a lot dear devs. mzinn Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2014 770 0 16 #9 mzinn, Mar 25, 2015 Holy smokes is this polished. I've just begun but I am very impressed with the graphics & gameplay. The fine details are really a treat. I can't wait to really get into it. It's stunningly beautiful. Ghostdog1 Well-Known Member Jan 30, 2015 314 116 43 #10 Ghostdog1, Mar 25, 2015 Game Impressions Really very good game, but also a bit short. Did finish it after about 2 and a half hours. There is no replay value. Hoped for this price to get more crime scenes. But i can understand the silver rating on pocket gamer site. aeschylus72 Well-Known Member Apr 13, 2012 108 0 16 #11 aeschylus72, Mar 25, 2015 loving this, hope it get the success it deserves, the price will be the sticking point, I know in the grand scheme of things £4 aint a lot, but you know!

There have been so many times where I've recommended a game and was told "it looks great, but costs $2." :/ I really hope this game does well so we can see more like it, and not all IAP-filled. mzinn Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2014 770 0 16 #13 mzinn, Mar 25, 2015 +1 Totally agree. I'm good with the price based on the quality of the game. I hope we have more of these high quality games in our future.

O_O Those production values are sky ****ing high! Also, if you're thinking a few hours isn't enough for a game like this, I should remind you how long The Room games are. Their length takes nothing away from how amazing those 2 games are. stlredbird Well-Known Member May 21, 2009 1,354 0 36 #17 stlredbird, Mar 26, 2015 I'll pick it up for full price. I love mystery games and enjoyed the CSI games, and any comparison to The Room gets my attention.

I'm going to complain about people complaining. My complaining will not stop the other people from complaining. Maybe I'm wasting my breath, but here goes anyway. I'm so tired of people complaining about a $5.00 price tag for ios games. This game is extremely well made. It has a very professional level of production. And though it may be short, it is worth every penny that we have paid for it. I paid $59.99 for Dragon Age Inquisition for my xbone. I enjoyed The Trace much more. This game is a AAA experience. It may be short, but the gaming experience that you get is worth much more than $4.99. This game is a bargain. If you like the genre, you should buy it RIGHT NOW! mr_bez Well-Known Member Dec 20, 2012 2,053 3 38 #20 mr_bez, Mar 26, 2015 I'm going to sound like a curmudgeon too, because I'm going to complain about people complaining about people complaining. There's not a single post complaining about the price, yet you guys are still leaping in to complain that some people might not like it! (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
