I love the wombats! Awesome voice acting, sound design and intriguing plot... captures the vibe of an outback Australian town really well. can't wait to uncover this mystery!
This was a great Aussie mystery game, with a lot of local colloquialisms and a great overall story. While the game itself was quite short, the puzzles and investigative work took some time and made me really think. If you're not an Aussie, you'll definitely need google for some of the puzzles! Overall worth a play!
A missing persons mystery set in a rural Victorian town. I had a lot of fun playing this. I would say the only downside being it's very short, we could have perhaps had a few more different investigative paths to follow, although I don't know how well that would fit in the timeline.
Collecting clues and connecting them on an evidence board was an intesting mechanic. I enjoyed the voice acting.
Was only able to play a little bit so far, but quite engaging and some really cool ways to give hints to the mysteries. The voice acting is pretty good as well. It's suprisingly hooked me to keep playing more of it.
The Demo feels deceptive? The first puzzle is not a puzzle but following directions. Down a long road of loading time
If you're into mystery puzzle adventures, this is definitely one to check out! It captures the Australian outback setting really well. I'm loving learning about the characters in this small town, and the voice acting is done so well - excited to fully unravel the mystery!
The voice acting is a stand out feature of this game - also like, surprise pikachu face: the mystery... is thrilling me! There's a desolate feel to the rural outback town that adds a lot to the experience of the game, and the emotion of playing it. I do feel like I could get easily lost out here. Can't wait to keep playing.
I really enjoyed this game. Solving the mystery, digging through the computer, making deductions, and finding clues around town was definitely engaging. It has a few walking-sim elements, but it never felt slow or boring. The developers did a good job of jump cutting the longer ones and having make decisions throughout. Also, the devs were incredibly responsive. Any time I had a question or ran into something weird, they answered right away or pushed out a patch. That alone made the experience even better. I have not experienced this level of responsiveness yet. By the end, I really wanted more. I’d love a DLC of extra cases, especially anything involving more missing hikers or new mysteries to track down!
Some of the achievements are STILL glitched despite the update. Overall, a very simple quick detective game.
