Oh my god this is the crossover the world needs! I want you guys to make a studio and make mystery games together :)))))

Oh boy, this is exciting!

First impressions:

 - very nice recognizable Sherlock Holmes consulting detective vibe! Love the historical elements.

 - I get a little overwhelmed. There are many tabs, each has links to click on, they're all different fonts and colors, and I'm not sure what to do. A tutorial where you gradually get acquainted with what the tools and game mechanics and then get an objective do would be greatly appreciated, especially by people who hadn't played the board game.

 - For the love of god, please make time management optional. It's such a splitting issue: just look at the recent The Séance of Blake Manor reviews!

I can't remember if I've written a comment here or not, but just in case - love this! This is awesome! So much more enjoyable than countless fancy expensive 3D graphics games that try and fail to be a proper detective game.

UPD: got it on steam, played it, liked it. Some tasks are quite far-fetched, as it almost always happens in this genre, but overall a very cool game!

you're free to wait, but I gotta agree: $20 for an indie game isn't steep if the game is good. $20 for a non-indie conveyor-produced garbage would be steep though, I agree.

Wooah looks great! I'll get it on steam

I gave up when I realized my deductions don't stay filled in when I switch back to the crime scene. It's a bit cumbersome to drag the bubbles around every time.

I'm stuck on a black screen that says "The Fight", and no buttons or mouse clicks do anything except make a sound.

Loved it! Although it took me embarrassingly long to realize I have to click on the table, so I went through the whole archive first....
Please make more! The world needs more of these.

Check the cameras. Where is the thing headed you think?

OH my god I could just kiss you! I love these kinds of games, and you're definitely living up to your inspirations you've listed!

Now the spoilery part

1. I don't know if I'm done. I found all the deaths, including K, and got the second email titled "Final", but I have 97 documents, instead of 98 like some other people do.

I think K puzzle was just right, no reason to make it any simpler btw.

2. I didn't get why I had to name acts, but that's ok, didn't use it anyway, instead searched for "" match, which listed all the docs very nicely grouped by scene.

3. Why does Oswald say you'd be punished for forgetting, while in reality you got punished for the opposite: for remembering them? Was there a pattern to who remembered whom?

God I hope this garden won't be lost... From Russia with all the possible support and hope that Ukraine gets through this.

Wow so this is like Papers Please but better, cause I don't have the bloody race against time...
