Please update

At times when you move around or zoom in there’s artifacting happening. Maybe a small bug but at times it’s annoying.

Im crying i need more cases

TOP GAME!

Best game I’ve played in a very long time. I’m in awe of the detail the developers have put into this game. I happily paid and will be buying an expansion packs. Such a fun experience and little things about the game make it thought provoking yet fun!

Not bad game, 3 ‘free’ games then paid after.

Got this game to try as it was on the App Store when I opened it. The lack of any colour can make it a little more difficult but that could just be me, however there are 3 ‘crime games’ you can play at first and then it asks you to pay for the full game. Firstly, the extra stars for things like this is that it’s a one time charge and not a subscription as those are just awful. It is a bit disappointing though as no where did it say anything about it being paid until it wouldn’t let me go any further. The first three games I would say it took me no more than five minutes in total. Not sure how many more levels there are if you buy the game but I can’t imagine that game overall last too long. It seems pretty straightforward. My only issue and that might be more of a mean thing than a game thing is a lack of colour. I think anyone who has any kind of learning disability or dyslexia for example might struggle with this. It is kind of like a find where’s wally type game, having to trace back and forward through things that have happened within the drawing. I do however think it would be better well at least a bit of colour.

Need more!!

Loved both parts of this game and would love more cases as I think there’s still so much to explore on the map! Haven’t played something that thoroughly brought me so much enjoyment in a while, thank you!
