Gutted
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. :(

Cumbersome
Hard to navigate and not very intuitive.
Much Better than my Expectations
One of the best mystery apps I've played. Please make a new case
What could have been a good game is bogged down with trivia
I wanted to like this game. I enjoy mysteries. The trouble here is that the creators seem to have mistaken 'paying attention to detail' with 'paying attention to every bit of trivia you can come across regardless of its relevance'. The quiz is full of pointless questions regarding who made what painting and so on... things that have nothing to do with the case at all. Testing me for how much I was paying attention to the facts of the case? Well and good. Asking about background stuff that has nothing to do with anything? That's tedious, and tedium will kill any game dead.

Deceptive
This looked a pretty good game from the App Store page, but after downloading it, it feels shoddy, there's no real guidance through the story, and worst of all, it crashes every other time I try to move from room to room.
If you want to experience how often a very low graphics game can crash your brand new retina mini iPad, then Stride Files may be for you.

A worthy mystery
If you like professor Layton and such games you'll love this, a different take on the murder mystery genre. Beautiful visuals and a great story.
Bit boring
Good idea but this is more of an interactive story than a game. The solution to the mystery is fairly obvious.
What's with the ridiculous questions on the quiz?
Why would anyone enjoy answering ridiculous questions? I signed up to solve a murder not for a lame trivia session. How I wish I could get my money back :(
CG Artist
This really kept me guessing, have been enjoying it on my commute to work. Will there be a sequel?
Beautiful
Beautiful visuals and a interesting take on a murder mystery game. Defiantly worth a look. Thanks for the update!
Sherlock would be proud
Nice mystery, great aesthetics. Brilliant voices!
Love it
Just downloaded update and problems are solved now - Phew!!
love it!! Im well into this already
love it!! Im well into this already
Enjoyable Who Dunnit
Thanks for fixing the problems with the original. I love the style of the game and music, like to see more cases to solve.
Won't load
Bought it and the thing won't load :@
Crashed!!
Won't even open up! Refund????
No save
The game needs an option to save the progress. I've started twice already but honestly can't be bothered to play it again as I do not want to keep starting over again.
