Fun! We hadn't realised it was a demo for a larger game, but enjoyed it nonetheless. Playing it through a second time was great to see what my friend had been seeing:] My favourite bit was probably the ball drop game? Achievement hunting was fun (I appreciated that we could choose when in the storyline to start playing), except for the 100 balls dropped achievement - that one was a bit tedious!

No intenten platinarse este juego es un fastidio... por otro lado el juego esta goty
una mierda como me vas a dejar así con las ganas
Unsolved Case is a point-and-click puzzle game that’s a standalone prequel to Unboxing the Cryptic Killer, where you team up as detective duo Old Dog and Ally, who got the package from the Cryptic Killer, where the mystery starts with a gift. It’s been a bit, but my friend Jay and I finally found a day to play a game together; this is essentially our last puzzle game in our first roster. Going back to this series got me worried just because of how the other game got us feeling throughout it. I can be delighted to say that this wasn’t as hard as Unboxing the Cryptic Killer, which was a relief, however, it has different faults that make it about as good as the other game. The puzzles are a lot easier than Unboxing the Cryptic Killer, which made for a better experience with my friend. The animation is still as colorful, and how it all started, story-wise, was pretty interesting, in terms of how they got to this situation in the first place. But with that said, the voice acting is about as hilariously bad as the other game, and the runtime is unbelievably short, which feels more like a demo for Unboxing the Cryptic Killer than an actual game. Granted, the game is free, which is nice, but I was expecting more out of this game, especially when compared to the other game. With that said, Unsolved Case is not a bad game that makes me curious about whether I should finish the trilogy since I haven’t bought the last game as of now. 6/10
muy weno
Los HDLGPQLP no explican nada, las pistas son: es rojo, no lo ves es rojo -.- Y cuando ya le acabas de pillar como va se acabo LCDLL!!!
Unsolved Case is a free to play cooperative detective game where you and another player work together to solve a murder. You have to investigate the case, find clues and communicate with your partner to work out what happened. The biggest strength is the cooperation. Both players have different information, so you cannot simply look at everything yourself. You have to talk to the other person and compare what you have found. The investigation itself is also fun. You have to search for clues, examine evidence and work out how everything connects. It feels more rewarding when you figure something out together instead of having the answer given to you. The game is also easy to get into. The controls are simple and the main challenge comes from paying attention and communicating properly rather than learning complicated mechanics. The mystery gives you a good reason to keep going. You want to find out who is responsible and how all the clues fit together, so the story keeps the investigation moving forward. The biggest problem is the length. Unsolved Case is a short experience and there is only one main case to solve. Once you know the solution, there is not a huge amount of reason to replay it unless you want to experience it with another friend. You also need another person to get the most out of it. The game is designed around two players having different information, so playing without a partner is not really the point. Overall, Unsolved Case is a really good free detective game for two people. The communication and different clues make the investigation interesting, even though the game is quite short. Rating: 7.8/10
Short but its fun. Puzzles are just the right difficulty, perhaps leaning a bit to the easy side.
