### 4/5 — Well Written and Intriguing

*2026-05-29, version 1.12*

I found myself deeply invested in the story, and probably spent too long debating each choice I had to make. They did a great job of keeping the suspense going, and I didn’t figure out the killer until really near the end but it was so well built by that point that it made so much sense!! If there were any ads in this game, they were minimal enough that I don’t remember them. Brilliant game, I’m on to Solve It! 2!!

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-08-25, version 1.12*

It’s different room their other games, but enjoyable.  Not as challenging as the others, but it’s fun.

### 4/5 — I love it

*2024-12-28, version 1.12*

I like that you have to remember what’s being said by the characters to be a good detective!

### 5/5 — Solve it a visual novel

*2024-11-11, version 1.12*

This is a fun game to play

### 2/5 — So boring!

*2024-07-31, version 1.12*

Haiku makes great games, but this isn’t one of them.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2024-07-19, version 1.12*

Great game! Now that I’ve closed the case, it leaves me wanting more…

### 3/5 — Good story

*2024-07-03, version 1.12*

The energy system kills the fun. Watching ads for keys would be waaaay better.

Complètement dégouté moi qui pensais m’amuser et bien pas du tout pour ça il aurais fallu mettre le jeux en français

### 1/5 — Nul

*2022-09-21, version 1.12*

Fatiguant dès le début et déjà l’initiation à vider vôtre compte banquaire.

### 1/5 — Pessimo

*2022-07-21, version 1.12*

Non è un gioco, ma solo dialoghi!👎🏻

*2020-11-13, version 1.12*

French or other languages??

### 1/5 — Decepcionada :(

*2020-07-04, version 1.12*

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2026-05-03, version 1.12*

Guaranteed free of ads and free to play! Story was slightly off but well it’s playable!

### 5/5 — Novel

*2026-01-10, version 1.12*

Fun and mindless.  Great to wind down after a long day.  Would recommend!

### 5/5 — Wish there were more games

*2026-01-06, version 1.12*

I have played all 3 of this series they are VERY well made. Wish there were more but perhaps that is just me being greedy lol

### 5/5 — Sortez d’autres jeux similaires

*2025-12-27, version 1.12*

Il n’y a que vos jeux qui sont si complets avec des histoires prenantes et intéressantes, les énigmes sont plutot difficiles et le niveau varie. J’ai toujours aimé tous vos jeux, je les ai tous fini et j’aimerais bien en voir sortir de nouveau, en se début de nouvelle année bientôt. 
Ce serait vraiment intéressant s’il vous plaît, j’adore vos jeux, je vous aime beaucoup merci merci

### 5/5 — Fun

*2025-07-30, version 1.12*

It was very fun

### 5/5 — Enjoyable!

*2025-04-23, version 1.12*

Loved it! Towards the end, I had a hard time putting my phone down because I was so close to solving it! My only frustration is that to get coins to get bonus stories or extra tasks/adventures, you have to spend real money. It would be great if the bonus coins we get for sleuthing were greater or we could solve side mysteries or games for extra coins. Overall, though, I loved it!

### 5/5 — Fab

*2025-04-14, version 1.12*

There is not a game from this company that I don’t love

### 5/5 — Love all of Adventure Escape games!

*2025-01-19, version 1.12*

I’ve played every and all of Haiku games I’ve found and have enjoyed them all. I’m a full grown adult and still had fun solving puzzles to different story lines. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Loved it

*2024-12-09, version 1.12*

The game is fun and absolutely worth your attention! It’s a new type of game for the studio, but I’d say it’s a success. Love the art style btw! Keep on going, haiku games.
Personally, I would like to see a same type of game, but more serious, deep, thrilling and intense, maybe with quick time events of something. It’s not like this one is bad, absolutely not, it’s just a whole another thing, that I think would be cool too.
Anyway, thanks for the game, gonna play the second chapter :)

### 5/5 — Deserves more

*2024-11-22, version 1.12*

I absolutely enjoyed playing this detective game. It was super fun. I wish there was more detective games like this one.
