fundamentally, the game feels like it'd have some sort of moral question: "Is it okay to kill others for yourself?", "Do murderers deserve death?", "Is eye for eye moral?".
This could've been done if I had these sort of characters established in some way.
A game like Papers Please does this by having them just talk to you and tell you all their life issues and how life is so 'boo hoo sad', but this isn't the one way to go, there could be additional, non-case relevant papers that are obituaries of relatives of one of the suspects, or tax and loan logs that indicate deep debt, something so simple can just go the extra mile.

Other than that, gameplay wise, everything feels a bit dry and empty, the papers move and slide but not like how papers do, the game says in one of the newspapers that I'm gonna need proof but then I don't, my desk doesn't change or get decorated or deteriorated, and generally just more and more nitpicky """criticisms""" that will obviously be done later on in development.
