The game feels really nice, I found myself trying to understand what I missed for some time without pressing ALT F4, which is quite nice :)
Visual
Visually, the game is really pleasing, but the background of the first playable scene contains lots of elements, and it's pretty hard to find clues on this one.
Sound
The BGM and SFX are pretty cool, they give good insight about what's going on, but I found the inspector's talking sound pretty bothersome. I just wanted him to keep quiet at some point.
Tutorial
Even if the concept is pretty simple, I think a little tutorial to explain the different buttons and what you can achieve with them would be nice :)
Gameplay
- I liked the "show clues" mechanic, it feels really satisfying!
- The Professor Layton's "analyse the map" mechanic is pretty good too! (I have no idea if Prof. Layton's the first game to create it, but that's the only one I played)
- The story is cool too, but I think the characters show too much, I could guess who was culprit and who wasn't
Fun
The game was fun to play, even though sometimes you may get lost with all the clues you have and can use at the same time. The end is really interesting and gives an intense rush of satisfaction, I liked that part
Bugs
I personally didn't encounter bugs, but could see on the description that there are some bugs you know of. Therefore, I didn't take it in account for the rating, because it is avoidable :)
Theme
I didn't really see the theme in the game? Or maybe did I miss something?
