very enjoyable

Love the artwork and hardboiled style but might have preferred a bit more detail on the faces, since they were the majority of what you looked at. Kudos to dev for a unique game. Biggest issue is the tedious nature of going back and forth between screens every time you wanted to make a point and/or ask a question when talking to characters. If there were a lot of questions it was pretty annoying. Then you had to click on statements or evidence, etc and click to make the point, maybe some more dialogue then click to go to notes to make another, click on statements, scroll to find it, etc. The contrast between some of the colored text and the dark background was also very bad in a few cases, making it hard to read the text. An overall excellent effort, however, and would like to see more like it. Also enjoyed the historical references. Am interested to try some of this dev's other offerings.

Interesting gameplay

Nothing too exciting. You go around talking to people and get clues. It was fun nonetheless. Maybe a bit too straightforward, but there were a few tricky parts that got me stuck for awhile.

Well Done

I really enjoyed this. It is like a cross between a pulp detective novel, a choose your own adventure book, and a point and click adventure game. It is clear a lot of work went int this Indie game. The storyline was engaging and the clues and conclusion all hung together. It is set in the early 20s in San Francisco. It is well researched and has a LOT of historical easter eggs woven in. I encourage new players to savor it— take time to explore the settings and talk to cab drivers. I hope the developer follows up with a sequel.
