Mindcop

Pretty challenging to find the true culprit. Spent too much time snooping around lel can't help it

Good detective game utilizing a time limit to discourage you from simply checking every little thing so you are encouraged to follow leads and go about the investigation more methodically to get the most relevant clues (thought you can simply replay the game as well and remember where the good stuff was). Seemed like there was almost too much to go through as there were many bits that I found I missed when I looked up more stuff after I was done, but I guess thats just allowing you different ways to get to the truth.

This looks like my kind of game, however I think it's too flawed to recommend as a detective game. The idea is sound: explore areas in a neighbourhood, question different characters, and try to work out who did it. But there are problems... Firstly, the mindsurf minigame is just tedious. It's also not super intuitive, and it is pretty jarring when compared to the rest of the game. Yes, you can disable the mindsurf minigame to make it automatic, but what it doesn't tell you is that it changes it to be stat-driven, so you need to have a certain level of mind bullets (or whatever they are called) to mindsurf a character. And it doesn't tell you the mind bullet requirements before you try, so unless I'm wrong, you just end up losing a bunch of detective time. Secondly, there are loads of things to interact with and explore to find clues, but there's not enough time to look at everything - of course this is how the game is designed, and this would be fine, if there was some way to determine where the important stuff is. While you can just go on another run to make sure you look at everything, the game doesn't keep track of the things you already looked at, so unless you have a very strong memory or have been making notes, good luck. Honestly, if the game actually left everything I'd looked at as already explored on the next run, I'd probably have persevered and finished the game. It's mad because the game does remember who you've mindsurfed, but you don't have any of the clues you found, and if you've forgotten where you found something, tough luck. For me, the first of these problems I can overlook, but the second just killed the game for me. It's a shame because the art style is kinda cool, and the characters and their internal thoughts are fun (and sometimes very dark) but this just didn't gel for me. An option that could have saved the game for me would have been to allow a mode with a lot more time - enough to explore whatever you like within a single run. Maybe infinite time but force the user to progress a day at certain checkpoints? Maybe it's my OCD but I just wanted to explore everything or have some logic to what was important and what wasn't.

画风和玩法都很新颖，当侦探调查线索很有趣。缺点也非常明显，小动画前两遍看会觉得很有趣，但是多了还不能跳过就让人烦躁，特别是一周目几乎调查不出真相，但是子弹强度和线索都不能继承，多周目需要再重新走一边流程，让人非常非常难受。特别是心灵冲浪又臭又长，设置跳过子弹强度又不够，这一点真的是败笔中的败笔。如果子弹强度和线索话题都能继承，让玩家在多周目探索前面没有发现的东西，体验会好不止十倍。

Corto pero muy entretenido

Great sound design, fun addictive narrative!

Great story with good music and fun mechanics. The story is a little short(like our hero) and left me wanting more. Here's hoping for a Mindcop 2!

Ambientación, estética, sonido de 10. Historia muy bien. Como único punto negativo, diría que la parte de "inténtalo de nuevo" se hace muy lenta y repetitiva (por ejemplo, si te saltas días, no desbloqueas "correr"). Además, en ocasiones hay conversaciones extremadamente importantes, que aclaran la trama de forma bastante clara, bloqueadas detrás de una secuencia de eventos y conversaciones muy concretas en momentos muy específicos.
