The Cadet Files : Scene Unseen

I launched the game and realised the settings menu for changing graphics was completely missing. I then started with the first mission (apparently, there are 4 but only the first one is available) where I quickly got shot down by some sort of special soldier unit or perhaps robots. I'm not sure. This first mission takes place in a small apartment only with a couple of rooms and you only have 5 hearts before you die which means failing the mission as a cadet. I found a key that opened a drawer after eliminating the first two enemies. Then another key then another. Is this what the store page refers to as finding "hidden objects"? For all this you have 6 or so minutes. If the countdown reaches zero you get the same message on failure. Now, I found a safe and a piece of note in a separate drawer which was needed to find out what the right safe combination was. Once this was done i was able to open the last drawer that contained agent equipment such as a revolver and a badge. Only the badge can be picked up - if you hover over the rest your character just interacts with the drawer and closes it again. I didn't understand what my task was so once again the countdown reached zero and I failed. F1 brings up the tutorial and you also have a table whose first screen has some exam questions. Not sure if the contents of the drawer are meant to represent the answers but you can do some guesswork 5 times. This whole scenario made no sense to me. In addition to this the enemies you shoot down have corpses that can easily block you. Hitting ESC in-game brings us to the graphics options but while "high" settings is easy to find there is no vsync option. Everything is bad here. The sound effects, the gameplay, the FPS value you get during mission... your tablet has other functions but I found no use of them. Not sure what "mysteries" are to be "unravelled" here or "challenges" to "master". And the whole noir approach of the trailer is completely misleading. I recommend that you avoid this one.

Very short investigation game with four crime scenes. There is no story or attempt to explain what you are doing. I believe you are a future investigator, or something similar. You just go around four little crime scenes, looking for clues. So the objective is to use your tools and tablet to discover out what happened. When you enter a level, the first thing you do is open the tablet and look at the questions you have to answer. It is always about the victim and who killed them. You already have a list of options to choose from, and while you can try your luck, you only have a limited number of chances. This is easily cheesed because you get a check mark for the right answer and you can replay the stage until you solve it. Each stage can be replayed from the main menu. Each crime scene is a bit different but also very short; the game can be finished in half an hour or less. First case involves observing the location and some light shooting, the second has interesting digging mechanic, the third one is currently broken because it is solved automatically when you try to enter question in the tables, and the last one takes place on a very dark graveyard. Although you have several tools available, like the metal detector or trail finder, you only need one specific tool in each of the investigations. The early access tag indicates that the game is being worked on. Aside from the flaws listed above, there is one issue with enemies: you cannot walk over them. This is a big deal for the first stage, which takes place in an apartment. If an enemy is killed in the hall, you won’t be able to walk over it and collect clues.

This game describes itself as a hidden object, mystery solving problem game, but it doesn't say anywhere that there will be first person shooter levels. The first level requires you to survive robots/soldiers shooting at you...which in my case was impossible. There may be many better gamers than me who will enjoy this but I like exploration games where there is a mystery to be solved......... I hope there are good mysteries but I am totally out considering I die withing a minute each time I try the first episode.

Похвалю игру за проработку оружия. Нужно очееень много работать. Спавн виден невооружённым глазом. Двери иногда не открываются. В целом - норм
