This reminds me of Midsommar..

 

[Bushido]

Really intrigued, but definitely gonna wait for some impressions before I pull the trigger. Hopefully a neat game to play in one sesh over the weekend.

 

[T.Rex In F-14]

Oh yeah been looking forward to this.

 

[doops.]

It's available now on Steam!! GOG and Switch versions will be live within the next hour and Xbox/Microsoft Store later today! :)

 

[Spoit]

2-3 hours? The demo was like a quarter of that. Is it just the one case?

Click to shrink...

Yeah. Could be this is the first in a series of similar-sized games that focus on a single case.

Bought and finished it today, all achievements too (although they're mostly just for playing the game). That was a fun little romp. Steam has me at 106 minutes in total, so not the longest game, but I had fun. Hopefully it's going to be a series of short but sweet games, like Frog Detective.

Fun little game, finished with all achievements in a little under two hours. I was expecting a bit more though. I really like Obra Dinn/Golden Idol type puzzles, but these were rather simple. Yet at the same time, I felt like there were some odd leaps in logic, and some of the deductions were strangely worded. With most of the deductions requiring so few words, though, it was easy to brute force anything I didn't immediately know. The writing and voice acting were super charming and easily the highlight.

Loved the game, was very cute lol

 

[Maximo]

It's a cute game loved the art style, music and VA, magnifying glass cute characters to hyper focus into more realistic features was hilarious. Just wish it was longer, ended up beating it in about an hour maybe hour and a half, too short of a game and wanted different puzzles to solve to change the pace. Little hard to recommend to others due to length, hoping they release a sequel and flesh it out.

 

[Amakusa]

Came in here in hope for a sequel to Detective Gallo…

I'm leaving a bit disappointed, but still intrigued. Might give Duck Detective a chance.

 

[basic_text]

Finished it in a sitting on Saturday and it was mega disappointing.

It wasn't really funny and most of the game play just involves interacting with every item until you have enough clues to solve the statements.
It was kinda charming but just fell flat overall. At least it was only £8.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Cute little game. Finished it in one sitting here at work. Fun presentation and style, but unfortunately solving the 'case' wasn't as fun as it could've been.

 

[keiichi]

Really enjoyed the game and hope they have DLC or other cases. There were a few frustrating moments where I couldn't make the leap on sometimes or hard trouble tying things together but it was a short and sweet experience.
