Edit : well I’ve spent ages going through conversations and piecing things together until I finally felt read for the end quizz..... unbelievably after saying yes I’m ready the quiz consisted of a blank box with no questions?? What a waste of time the whole thing has been, up till then it was fantastic as you can see from below previous review!

This is a thinking persons game, a real game, one where you aren’t spoon fed but left to work things out for yourself, this is a brilliant detective story with lots of characters to interview and clues to find, those who have left poor reviews obviously need everything spelling out for them....shame. Also I’ve had no crashes and it is saving my game beautifully. Someone has put a lot of time and effort into this game and it shows. I also adored “the bunker” this team are very talented. I have just purchased another game of theirs and I can’t wait to play it. Thank you to the hardworking developers that give people like me such enjoyment.

Not so good...

This could’ve been so much better.
Basically you just listen to a guy talk.

Bugs galore, ultimately game-ending

I enjoy detective games, and they are relatively rare in the AppStore. Thus, despite the tedious and repetitive nature of gameplay, I carried on and interviewed each witness on each item in the 8 page list and on the alibi and motive of the cast of characters. I brightened up when I spotted clues hidden in the scenery, and sure enough, it looked as if the interrogation list had been expanded to highlight my discoveries. Hooray!

BUT! The list was not uniformly modified. Some clues were missing for each witness, although it was clear I would need the witness’ response in order to progress. This was not a clever ruse forcing me to get the answers a different way — there was no other way.

Worse yet...the doctor in the morgue is billed as the character to contact if you need help on what to do next. However, the list of items for potential discussion was completely blank. I couldn’t get ANY information from her, let alone walkthrough assistance.

I decided to skip to the end and see if I could pass the final quiz. The quiz! Also utterly blank.

Don’t waste your time with this game. You’ll suffer through an hour listening to worthless monologues, to literally no end.

Hmm

I was actually enjoying the game, but I can’t access the quiz at the end? I don’t know if I’m missing something or what... but it just goes blank when I attempt to take the quiz...

Interesting Until Quiz

The quiz at the end isn't great. I spent the game focused on the details around the murder, but the quiz actually forces you to have memorized every piece of text. What initials were on the box? What time is the home defense course? What was the furniture made of? Who painted the picture above the bed? Who cares! After having to fail the test multiple times I just gave up. :(
