Confidential Killings - A Detective Game

Excelente! Bonito, imersivo, Interessante e cativante! a única coisa que eu mudaria é que ele não entregasse de cara se a associação que fazemos com os nomes dos personagens com os rostos está certa ou errada, ou pelo menos tivesse uma opção para mudar isso. Mas um jogo bem divertido. Nota 8.5/10

Worth it if it's on sale. It's a bit repetitive, but very intuitive and a decent few hours of clicking around

Short but fun deduction game. It's pretty easy, and can sometimes feel a litle repetitive, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Confidential Killings is a short and pretty easy deduction game slotting itself well into the genre of the more well-known Obra Dinn and Roottrees. I'd recommend CK to anyone considering trying these type of puzzles, or wanting a nice relaxing evening without too much brain requirements. It is thus a soft recommendation, and for deduction veterans I'd say only get it on sale. The biggest negative from an investigation point of view is the game not giving you enough info for a case to hold up, making you have to submit the case notes based on circumstantial information, but the "fill in the blanks" text is detailed enough it is pretty apparent what kind of motive or murder the game expects you to give. I guess it does have a story-explanation with several of the killers not being arrested that does support the gameplay's lack of firm evidence. But it is a bit frustrating to play as a somewhat bumbling detective in first-person.

A very chill investigation, take all the time you need to put everything together.

Confidential Killings anchors its grim narrative within the backstabbing circles of theatre and media during the winter of 1978. Every case demands sharp observation as players sift through deceptive texts to uncover the web of illicit drug trade and betrayal defining these interconnected, adult mysteries. Clicking on underlined keywords provides a tactile investigative loop that rewards mental acuity and careful deduction. Reconstructing chaotic events within the notebook interface feels profoundly gratifying, especially when the disparate pieces of evidence finally align to reveal the sinister truth hiding behind the glamour of the late seventies. Drenched in a cohesive, melancholic aesthetic, the visual presentation perfectly matches the sombre tone of your enquiries. Sparse, moody musical accompaniment further elevates the cool atmosphere, ensuring the player feels fully immersed in the high-stakes work of a gritty investigator operating in a world of constant moral compromise. Navigating the various menus occasionally creates minor friction, particularly when one needs to retreat from dense files or complex logs. These unintuitive interface interactions briefly stall the momentum, yet they pale in comparison to the intellectual stimulation found when successfully deciphering the motivations of the numerous, recurring characters. Recurring individuals across disparate files can complicate your mental record-keeping, occasionally forcing a tedious review of established evidence. While such hurdles transform the investigative process into a taxing mental workout, the narrative complexity ensures that every resolved case feels like a significant triumph over the obfuscating lies of suspects. Meta-textual humour occasionally emerges when characters remark upon the mediocre quality of dialogue written by their peers within the story. Such clever flourishes add an amusing layer of depth to the investigation, reminding us that even the most serious inquiry into murder can benefit from a sharp, self-aware wit. Overall, this mature mystery provides an exceptionally satisfying experience for anyone who values the meticulous process of piecing together complex, grounded stories. Its brilliant puzzle structure successfully honours the intellect of the player, resulting in a journey that is both challenging and deeply rewarding for those seeking a professional detective adventure.

本质上更像是阅读理解+完形填空。整体还可以，但缺点也比较明显。比较适合拿来做英语阅读练习 优点：玩法有一定新鲜度，几个案件相互关联，一口气玩下来体验感不错 缺点：1.完型填空需要先点击线索中出现的关键词，然而同样的关键词哪怕出现在多个线索中，系统也只允许点击固定某个线索里的这个词，其他地方出现的都不能点。尤其人物名字，后期不少角色都是前面案子里出现过的老熟人，但每次都必须重新在各种线索里找到他们的名字，明显拖延了节奏。 2.有些地方可以完全替换成不同的词，例如人物的姓或名。还有一些词在使用英文游玩时可以通过语法来判断。但使用中文版游玩时，就很难看出这些区别，因此更推荐直接玩英文版。

охуенно!

Вроде бы несложная (по части реализации) и не очень длинная игра. Но как же она хороша! В каждом деле интересно изучать улики, предполагать мотивы и в итоге приходить к верному выводу. Важное замечание: играть нужно ТОЛЬКО на английском. Там и шрифт вменяемый, и при подборе слов понятно о чём речь. Иначе будете всё расставлять наугад, как товарищи из соседних отрицательных отзывов. Язык не то чтобы сложный, но текста много и со слабым английским играть будет тяжело. Но не ждите здесь геймплея уровня серии Sherlock Holmes, игровой процесс незамысловат: мы ходим между экранами, изучаем улики (в основном записки и документы), собираем в них подчёркнутые слова и имена, а потом определяем кто есть кто на месте преступления и заполняем найденными словами полицейский отчёт . Всё. Если что - на itch.io есть демка, можно попробовать прямо в браузере.

Good puzzle game, slightly repetitive on renaming known people though
