Confidential Killings - A Detective Game

[h2]Recommended? Yes (with reservations)[/h2] Confidential Killings is a solid noir detective game set in late 70s Hollywood, with a strong atmosphere and a distinctive graphic novel–inspired art style. The visuals and soundtrack do a great job of immersing you in a dark world of corruption, secrets, and murder. Gameplay is clearly inspired by The Case of the Golden Idol: you explore static scenes, interact with characters and objects, and collect keywords to reconstruct what happened. It’s intuitive and easy to pick up, but also less complex than its inspirations. The cases are all clearly connected, with recurring characters appearing throughout, which helps build a consistent narrative thread across the game. That said, the experience is quite short (around 3 hours), and the level of challenge is fairly low. The game often provides too much guidance when collecting clues, reducing the sense of deduction. Some mechanics also become repetitive over time, and the characters, while interesting, could have been developed further. The biggest downside is the price: considering the length and overall complexity, it feels a bit high. I personally played it on sale, and I would recommend doing the same. Overall: 6.5/10 A stylish and enjoyable detective game, best suited for players looking for a more accessible and narrative-driven experience rather than a deep deduction challenge.

Really cool game. Love the art style, love the story, really enjoyed the method of gathering clues and sorting them all out. I also appreciate the built-in notebook. I wish I could forget the answers so I could play again!

big fun

Such a great game, such a cool design and interesting story. Such a sense of achievement to piece the puzzle together! So glad to play it after the demo

Incrível.

Игра явно вдохновлена Case of the Golden Idol. Собственно, тем, кому Золотой Идол понравился, зайдет и эта игра. Я бы даже сказал, что КК даже более приятная, так как будучи все же переведенной на русский язык, не скатывается в брут форс сценария путем перебирания слов в слотах. На каждый кейс минут 15-20 тратишь, и это позволяет отлично держать темп нарратива. И саундтрек тоже прикольный. Единственное, хотелось бы какой-нибудь минимальной анимации

òtimo jogo, é bem curtinho e o sistema de investigação point-and-click é perfeito pra ver cada detalhe das cenas e entender a investigação e os personagens. a história é envolvente e interessante, um pouco previsível, mas no geral cada acontecimento em cada cena muda completamente o rumo dela. ver como cada um dos personagens esta envolvido com a trama e como os outros reagem é muito divertido. um jogo 10/10, recomendo muito se gostar de jogos de investigação e dedução com tramas políticas.

지나치게 까다롭거나 어렵지 않을 정도의 난이도, 황금우상과 같은 구성 영어를 한국어로 단어선택이 매끄럽지 않은 경우가 있긴 하지만 무난하게 클리어 가능함

Bonsoir. Jeu sympathique avec une patte graphique certaine. Le jeu n'est pas bien difficile mais pour ma part, l'amusement était bien présent tout au long de ces enquêtes policières. Je recommande donc.

类金偶像游戏，但是画风比金偶像好看不少（讨厌像素，看着眼花 >< ），记忆量、文本阅读量和推理量都小不少，适合一个下午打完:)
