Hope this is not rude. I really wanted to enjoy this game, it's right up my alley. I still tried my best and I did like trying to puzzle out the mystery.
I understand this is a prototype, so I don't mind that we can't figure out *all* the disappearances and mysteries like DACA, but I still struggled to understand how the story we were giving to the detective worked. Who is the missing relative and how did we help?
My complaint is that I did not understand the mechanics of the game at ALL. The first time I tried, I even got stuck in the answer box & had to restart the game, because I didn't realize the "back" button was in a different spot. I was super confused on how to use/read the stuff you get from the archive (although I must say I thought all of them were beautifully made), and scrolled around in the comments on this page until I found an explanation. Even then, I played the entire game clicking on each individual file, because I had no idea there was a way to actually search up words. I also wish there was some way to make getting the archive pieces back (when you returned them but need them again). I don't mind how, but it was rather frustrating to realize I needed a piece, but not remember what file it came from or even what files had archive numbers.
Even though I struggled with the mechanics some, I LOVE the story and puzzles here. I think having to input a code to get new information from the archive is so unique, and again, all of the art and writing on the papers was so pretty & fun to read. I like the world of this story & I like the mysteries we were able to figure out, and that there was even more that we still don't know. I really liked having to piece things together to figure out the answers for the detective, and I thought all of those puzzles were neither frustratingly hard nor easy. I didn't get the camera question right, but I think I might have missed a clue on that one. I also loved how each question was slightly unique (not just yes or no, or all number answers).
I'll be looking forward to whatever full version this game turns into :)
