Title
Poor gameplay but pretty much the only option available for investigation games.
The gameplay is obsolete and stiff as hell, and some of the mini-games are frustrating to say the least (God, that temple section was a nightmare). It looks like they tried to make the game more appealing by throwing in a bunch of elements from different genres, but couldn't manage to do a decent job with any of them.

The cases and investigation parts are good enough to make it worth playing, though. I was always wanting to find out what comes next, and not all resolutions were as obvious as I expected. You have the freedom to choose the culprit based on the evidence you could collect, but the game does not show you the direct consequences of your choice. The case just abruptly ends without any kind of closing scene or cutscene. There are also some leaps in the plot that disorient the player quite a bit. For example, at the end of the first episode you find yourself in a completely different place being hunted by someone with no transition nor explanations about how it happened.

Maybe we cannot expect polished gameplay from such a small studio, but there's a lot of room for improvement.

    The game is so poorly written that it could be anything.
