Wouldn’t recommend
The game is a lot of fun until the end. If you accuse the murderer wrong, you lose. Don’t think exactly how the app developers thought? You lose. It’s pretty much a guessing game. And when you lose you have to go through the entire game again, for no reason. But here’s the catch: unless you pay 1.99, if you fail the end and get a game over you have to wait 20 minutes before it’s over.
Until the part where you have to guess the murderer, play on your own but for the ending I recommend using a game guide so you don’t have to deal with replaying the game

Too much starting over.
Game is a mess, could be good but you keep starting over and going back through the same things over and over.
A great game
It’s a really well thought out story that’s engaging and interesting to figure out, and the stakes are real (if you get it wrong, it may send you back to the very beginning!) It feels like a case straight out of Ace Attorney. Like a good book that you get to star in.
Tedious and boring
I had the mystery solved after a couple minutes but because of the frankly ridiculous sets of pre-Chosen things to say it took me over an hour to get absolutely nowhere near where I would have been if I was able to chose my words (It was the guy who cut his arm because he was the most suspicious of the three I didn't go farther in the game but I believe the manager could also be the murderer considering he was so eager to leave and that being an authority figure he'd be able to blackmail his employees into lying for him

Super fun!
If you like mysteries, this game is a must play. You actually have to pay attention to everything you see or hear, and most seemingly innocuous things can end up playing a major role!
What I didn't like about the game was how there was no way to think of a motive, it would have been fun if we could deduce it too... Instead, the only way of finding it out is in the murderer's confession. Someone once said a murder needs means, motive and opportunity, and it's sad that one of those three is impossible to deduce.
Another thing I didn't like is that, after getting the suspect right, you have to think of the one suspicious thing in their story - but most of the things I thought weren't options! Like (spoilers ahead) how did we find chloroform in the victim's lungs if it was a suicide? He wouldn't have been clear-minded enough to kill himself if he had enough to be picked up by forensics. And how would the murderer be at all related to the victim being fired, if that was the director's fault?
Plus I still want to know where that sawdust smell came from, it's the true mystery of this game lol

Hard but Fun
It's hard to find the solution, but when you find the killer it's so satisfying!
Waste of time
At the end of the game when you have to find the flaws in the killers argument, if you select the wrong one you have to restart THE ENTIRE GAME!!! Such a waste of time
Loved it!
I am a person who loves to sit down and play a mystery game for a while. This game seemed like it was almost made for me! I loved the suspense and the logic-type structure of the game! Also, contrary to other reviews, I solved it- so, yes, it is solvable, people!
No solution
I have tried selecting every option in the "make a deduction" menu and have not solved the case. I have also selected I give up and it won't let me. There is nothing else for me to do. Very frustrating.
Good plot, painfully long and time wasting.
The plot and backstory to this mystery is well-detailed and thorough, and lets the player have a chance at cracking the case. Unfortunately, some key elements of the the game's execution are flawed. I felt that it was important to allow the player to have many chances to change their answers throughout the story, which this game did for the MOST part. By the time I was near the end, I correctly selected the murderer- but during the final accusation I accidentally hit one wrong button, letting the killer roam free (I only learned I was right after scouring walk-throughs to make this review justified). I would understand if I guessed the killer wrong, needing to start the game over... But I didn't. How is that fair?

Great free app
Great storyline. Really makes you think. But near the ending it makes you replay the game if you mess up. Would've been better to replay that section of the story instead. Overall it was really fun. Hope to see more in the future.

My reaction to finding out who the murderer is, shouldn't be a string of angry curses.
Loved it!
I am a huge Castle fan, and have been looking for a game where you could solve a murder. Most of those games out there are stupid hidden object games, but not this one! I loved that it really made you think hard and that it wasn't just a quick little puzzle. The app should have multiple cases to solve, though. I want another challenge!

Good, but so frustrating
The plot was good, very entertaining, but it's SO annoying at the end where if you make a single mistake you have to go back to the beginning. This needs sorting. It would be a great game if this annoyance wasn't present. Other than that, I would have gave 5 stars
Future Changing!!!
This game was so fun an interesting!! I always thought that being a detective was boring but after this game it made me look at the world differently....I think I finally know what I want to do with my life!!
Overall good game
It kept my interest levels up without the need for graphics. It reminds me of multiple choice books I used to read as a child. It is very annoying. To have to go back to the beginning having made just a little mistake. Though.
Frustration
This is a pretty good game but if you mess up on any question at the end then you basically are gonna be repeating the same questions over and over again. I still haven't got past the deduction because the game basically won't let me.

I love these games, make more!!!!!
Fab!
This app is really fun! It is simply a murder mystery game, there are no distracting graphics or pictures nor are there adverts. The storyline is twisting and fun to be a part of. The only downside I would say is that they make you start again, luckily I didn't have to, but if I had I probably would have closed the app. There are lots of questions to work your way through so starting again would be tiresome, however this feature does also add some panic to the game. I particularly enjoyed the fact that you got to add your own name, this made it more personal. However I did feel that the implimentary deduction did go on for too long and got a little boring. If I was to make this app I would add more stories as I wouldn't want to repeat this one. Apart from that this app is a really fun game that didn't get too boring. I would definitely recommend it as a way to spend a lazy afternoon :)

Let me type!
I can't even write a review. The app is preventing it... That's really strange. I was unhappy with the end. One wrong button (which seemed logical and plausible) made the game start over.
