I love this game
Slay
Shorter than 1st but just as wonderful
Interface during conversations plus a few other aspects were improved upon. This game was well made and I love anything made by this developer
Great game
These games are so well thought out and I’m genuinely glad that this isn’t a hidden objects or literal puzzle game. From a criminologist student, this is fun!
Will update to higher if info is fixed
I can't figure out how to contact y'all since I'm not on social media. I found errors in the game that seems like a big detail...no real spoilers for folks reading.
In One Step Ahead, April says Rich has been missing since March 8, 2006 and that Rich and Emma met June 3rd 2005.
In Cell Phone, "I" say that Emma has been dating Rich earlier that parents thought, starting June 3, 2006. That's actually a year later than mom said.
Then in Emma Windale, in the general inquiry before I visit the family, "I" note that Rich has been missing since April 5th, 2007. Why would the parents and I be saying different missing dates? I went straight from the Cell Phone to Emma so perhaps I missed something in another friends interrogation. If not, that seems like basic info y'all should have streamlined in the story. It's hard to build a timeline as a detective when basic facts don't line up.
Thanks for your attention to these details!
I will definitely update my rating to many stars when I hear back that this will be fixed. I just didn't have another way of contacting y'all to let you know.

Could have been better
I personally felt that the format for this game as well as the story was a downgrade from the first game. I appreciate having the option to write notes but the dialogue such as the interviews might as well have been written in a script format instead of having to click. The clues and conclude investigation options should not have been only accessible when we go to the first page.
Also, there are times when there is a dialogue between the characters. For instance when jonathan met roman at the cafe. I feel like drawing out this scene instead of using the same images would improve the visuals and the experience.
The story for this game was underwhelming, too. If I am being honest, I was disappointed when I first saw that this would be following jonathan because i expected the second game to follow a different story. However, after playing for a while and finding out it’s a missing persons case that he is working on, I became interested and invested in the story. The problem is that towards the end, around the time that mark is ******, the story goes downhill. Sometimes I wanted to go through the screen a slap jonathan because things that he said and dis both did not make sense and were not smart, especially considering he’s an investigator. That’s all I can say without spoiling the story. I also don’t understand why the writer(s) thought it would be a good idea to have roman practically lecture us on all the ways to hide a dead body. The scene felt useless and unnatural, and could have been shortened. The readers do not need to be educated on these specific details. And don’t get me started on how out of place the nightmare on the airplane and the finale were.
There are other things that I disliked but it would take too long to cover everything. There are some things that I liked such as investigating rich, reading through the different witnesses from the party and trying to find consistencies in their story. But, at least in my opinion, the negatives overshadowed the positives. This definitely doesn’t deserve 5 stars.
