The Final Print

Cute little investigative game. The writing could use a little bit of work, and the character animations are not finished at this point. The environment art is really cool though. The idea behind investigations are nice, but besides a small plot twist nothing unexpected happened in my investigation. It's short and sweet so definitely give it a try!

I enjoyed playing the game, even though it’s not usually my style. There’s definitely potential here, but I found it a bit confusing at times and wasn’t always sure what to do next. I think it could be even better! [spoiler] Don't leave us hanging about the ending [/spoiler]

Nice little game as expected from the students of Breda University. Good luck on your careers!

The good: Interesting little investigation game. The fact you can log what people say during conversation, so you can use it later in your investigation, I found to be a very fun mechanic. Handing the player the decision of what is worth writing down and what isn't, makes you think as well as pay attention to what the characters are saying. The pinboard at first, I thought was not gonna be used much, but I ended up spending quite some time with it trying to picture the whole scene. (I also had way too much fun playing with the wires' noodle physics) The case itself I found to be a pretty well rounded puzzle to solve in terms of difficulty. It invites you to make some assumptions right off the bat given the time period. But after taking in all the evidence and putting it together you may find some of those assumptions to possibly be wrong. I also think it was nice that while some evidence was loosely connected, not all of it was relevant to solving the case. The ending may have felt a little abrupt, but I think that works in its favor since it's not that hard to deduce the consequences of what might happen after each of your decision, which in turn leaves you to ponder if you made the right choice at all. The not-so-good: I thought the voice acting overall was passable. Every character had a voice that matched. As for performance, some were definitely better than others. With some I just kinda wanted to skip through, since it sounded a bit too much like they were reading a script. Given the scope of the game, I wasn't exactly expecting a Roger Clark as Arthur Morgan type of performance either. Just that this is what I thought while playing through this. There was one character named Wesley who had some issues with looping through his idle animation. Some textures had some difficulty loading at times, but that's something I see often with Unreal games. Putting the evidence and testimonies on the board or onto your paper was doable. Wouldn't say it was really janky, but sometimes when I try to drag it from my notebook. The piece was put down under it, so I couldn't tell if I dragged it succesfully or not. Not the worst thing, just a little bit annoying. The Ugly: Credit roll could have used some music that was in the game. Made the conclusion to the game feel a little bit anticlimactic. Perhaps a bug who knows. The mechanic for the green lines on the pin board could have been explained better. Conclusion: All in all I did enjoy it, good game to have your saturday morning coffee to. Most flaws that it does have aren't things that can't be ironed out over time. And speaking from experience in developing software, there's of course going to be bugs. So the things that I did list, are ones that I hope the developers can do something with. It's free, go play it if you haven't. It's an enjoyable short experience that's worth a try. :)

I liked piecing together the clues. Sometimes it dragged when I was looking for info, but overall, it was satisfying to figure out what really happened. If you like mysteries, it’s definitely worth a try.

If Ronald has a million haters I'm one of them. If he has one hater it's me. If he has 0 haters I have died. If the world is against Ronald I am with the world, if the world is for Ronald I am against the world.

Pretty nice game Short and sweet

You play a reporter who is allowed to prance around the crime scene of a murder. Talk to local bar patrons about anything but the murder weapon, or the manner in which the victim was killed, or at what time the crime took place, or where one of the witnesses (a girl) is now. None of that matters, apparently! No, most importantly is clearing the name of the person arrested. Or, wait, 'arrested'? No, it's 'accused' just a few minutes later, somehow. No, sorry, my bad, the accused has already been CONVICTED now. Oh, and Death Row (TM) just called, they're up in three days! For the murder that they supposedly committed THAT DAY! Boy, the justice system in this insane parody of reality sure moves fast! There are two possible endings. One ending is barely supported by your findings and the second is not even remotely supported. Yes, it's free, but the writing is truly abysmal.
