The Case of Andrew D.

I am just a few minutes into the game, but be aware that this game only works on windows not linux. To be fair this is listed in the requirements. Also, this game is close to an ARG in terms of its content. There is one step in the tutorial that may difficult if you are not able to think outside the box, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area that it takes place in. I may write a more in-depth review once I have more play-time, but for now I'll say I reccomend this for those interested in detective style games that want something less hand-holdy.

I have had this Game on my Wishlist for a very long time and let me tell you, it's even better than what I expected. This game is not your average Joe crack the Code game. This game is put up with so much Love and Effort, that it's unbelievable and amazing. If you like games where you get to crack Passwords, check Google Maps for Places, find people's Facebook pages, this game is for you. It's not easy but this is what makes it unique and fun. I absolutely highly recommend this Game and hope it gets the recognition it deserves. Well done!

If you like a cerebral challenge, you will like this game. I got stuck on one of the first puzzles, but figuring out the solution was very rewarding. The game is very unique, it plays almost like an ARG game, you need to search the web, utilize your detective skills. Very challenging, but also very rewarding game that is worth your money.

I didn't know what I was getting into buying this game. The feeling you get solving a step in a "case" is so rewarding, not because the game hands you the answer, but because you genuinely have to dig, connect the dots and think like you really are an investigator. For me that's incredibly satisfying. It’s not an easy game and that’s exactly what makes it special. Sometimes you have to let things sit and “marinate” in the back of your mind to come up with a new approach to find the solution. I’ve spent around 18 hours in game so far and I don’t think I’m anywhere near done. At one point I spent almost 4 hours on Google Maps just to track down a specific route someone had taken and when I finally solved it, it was one of the most rewarding moments I’ve had in a game so far. What makes it stand out for me, though, is how it quietly makes you reflect on real life. While piecing together the information in one case, I kept thinking about how much of our own personal information is out there, and how easily it could end up in the wrong hands with just the help of Google or Facebook. The game manages to be both engaging as a detective experience and thought-provoking in a way I didn't expect. If you like puzzles, detective work, or just want a game that makes you think on multiple levels, I can really recommend this one.

This game or, more precisely, a computer-based entertainment is all about the content, not the form. So, if you are looking for fancy graphics, state-of-the-art rendering engine, stunning animations and the like, well, look elsewhere. But if you are more inclined towards investigation and puzzle solving, this one is definitely worth spending some time (rather days than hours). Let me tell you why. What you get is rather simple, rudimentary simulator of a client application used by an imaginary detective agency. It allows you to browse existing cases, read messages from other team members, download & upload case-related files and provide your findings regarding a specific item (as a text or a map location). That's about it - the key part is the story behind each case that you uncover once you or other detectives discover new facts along the way and connect the dots. Some cases are pretty straightforward, some come with a twist, there are some red herrings as well. Like in a real life, you know. And what makes the experience even more realistic is that to solve cases, you have to go beyond the game itself - google things, search for social network accounts, use common services (like global pets database), look up real map locations, guess or crack passwords. Thankfully the author found a good balance for these puzzles - they are not so obvious, and they are not extremely hard either (as much as I can tell being somewhere in the middle of the game). Of course, the bigger the challenge, the more rewarding finding the answer is. As a final remark I would like to point (and I'm almost 100% sure that the author had that in mind during development) that from the technical perspective this is not simply a game but rather a game engine that most probably could relatively easily be extended with new cases in the future (maybe even as a community-driven effort). Many thanks, Borek, keep up the good work!

Took me a little while to get into just because it's so unfamiliar - but then I was hooked, digging through files, googling places in Poland, mapping relationships between characters...Fascinating. An unusual sleuthing game where half the game is played through a combination file manager and forum arrangement and the other half is spent digging through files and maps, googling, and trying to put all the pieces of the puzzle together to solve the mystery. Intriguing. For more niche curation, follow me at: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/27440015-CSH-Picone/

It's not really a game in a classical definition, but rather a "reverse augmented reality". The real world is the extension of the game. Taking actions outside of the game will help you move your progress inside the game. It's pretty neat actually. If you like solving riddles and think you have considerable knowledge of the IT world, give it a try! Definitely recommend!

Just started playing. Can say its very well made and worth the money.

Just finished my first case and I really liked it!

Gra jest mega. Grzeje mózg że aż miło. Widać ogrom pracy włożonej w ten projekt. Zacząłem już 3 raz żeby zrobić na 100%. Jeśli kochasz upalać mózg, rozwiązywać zagadki, a OSINT jest czymś więcej niż literkami to ta gra jest dla Ciebie :D
