Incredible game
好玩 除了官中太垃圾 推理很过瘾
ゲーム性はほぼアヒル探偵でしたが、心理的にはReturn of the Obra Dinnの世界にのめり込んでいるような気分が近かったです。やっていたら呪われそうなビジュアルもGOOD Return of the Obra Dinnやスローンとマクヘールが好きな人にはお勧めできるかもしれません。 殺人鬼の気持ちになって解かなきゃいけない所もあるので、サイコパス診断とか好きな人にもお勧めできるかもしれません。 ラストステージの出題3と出題4だけ矛盾しているので、そこ以外はとりあえずゲームを信じていいと思います(日本語版だけかも?)
어린 시절 상상을 실현하고 싶어하는 인물이 많네요
A good short (5-8 hours with DLC) mystery game for fans of such as Obra Dinn, Type Help, or The Roottrees Are Dead. It's well constructed, in that all the evidence is there -- there are no flying leaps of logic -- although some of the DLC levels present you with dozens of keywords and giant walls of text to fill in like a Wheel of Fortune game from hell. I played the Redux version the whole way through and had no bugs or other problems. There are so many typos though, it's pretty hilarious. Given how short it is, it'd have been a little upsetting to pay full price for this, but at the sale price I feel like I got my money's worth.
总体playthrough很流畅,解题的过程本身就是提示,好评。玩的时候没太注意人名,最后才发现所有章节都串了起来,是个不错的故事
Sighhh okay so this is a bit of a mixed review. The game's great, I really liked the music, and the style, and it was pretty funny at times. The direction the story takes halfway through was unexpected but sure, I rolled with it. The main mechanic of solving the cases was also quite neat, especially in moments where the word you're missing is not reachable as easily as most of them (e.g. the horse running outside). What I have a problem with, however, is, yes, partially my fault, but [spoiler]if you have not picked up on Cloudsley being Lazarus prior to the last case, it is SUCH a guessing game.[/spoiler] It left me confused after I "solved" it, and while the epilogue explained everything, I feel like the whole latter half is less "find out how the murder was committed" and more "recreate the events that happened", which may not seem that different, but I really thought I was tapping into a [i]detective[/i] game. Another pet peeve of mine is that this game has Steam achievements for the DLC cases. I'm not planning to buy any due to how iffy the main game left me feeling, so being robbed of the blue ribbon is just unpleasant. Overall, I'd say it's a good game, but you gotta temper your expectations and be prepared for it to lightly tug at the rug under your feet.
A fun adventure game if not a bit hard towards the end with how cryptic and long the messages get. The lore and story building were really great and I liked how the DLC was a prequel.
Fantastic 10/10
Definitivamente um dos melhores jogos de investigação já feitos. Você realmente se sente no papel de um detetive tendo que usar logica e evidencias para descobrir o que aconteceu naquela cena. A historia consegue se conectar e ser muito importante para você conseguir resolver os mistérios. As DLCs também são muito boas e realmente desafiadoras. Muito divertido de verdade, jogue.
