*2024-08-14*

Great game, only problem is it’s very short and each of the 10/12 cases you start a new game.  There is a real opportunity her to make the game far more in depth..

Keep the cases and the play the way it is. Just add some sort of story, or purpose to the game and you will have a real winner!
