### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-05-30, version 1.44*

This is a good game only problem the adds are so repetitive it’s almost like brainwashing if you don’t want them you have to pay so money making game as well

### 5/5 — computa make these women supa gay nd horni

*2026-05-17, version 1.44*

There’s yuri. Thats all I need to say. 😋

### 1/5 — Ads are priority

*2026-03-17, version 1.44*

The Criminal Case games are my favorite, but the number of ads one is forced to watch (unless you’re willing to pay $8) is such a waste of time. Today I used a stopwatch and found that three times in a row I was shown an ad after less than 1 minute, 10 seconds. It likely would have continued at this rate, but I stopped playing. It’s disappointing that showing ads over players’ enjoyment of the game is the obvious priority.

### 4/5 — Dommage

*2025-12-07, version 1.44*

Je n’ai mis que quatre étoiles car je trouve que les énigmes ne sont pas assez variées et répétitives mais le jeu est intéressant.

### 5/5 — Me senti na serie cold case

### 5/5 — Very engaging

*2025-10-11, version 1.44*

Intriguing and witty. Fun stories with surprising outcomes. I enjoy hidden object games and these are quite nice. The graphics are well done. I highly recommend this game.

### 3/5 — Love the game but too many commercial interruptions

*2025-10-07, version 1.44*

Would rather have a paid version than have to endure those awful commercials
