This is a cool concept with awful execution. The ai constantly gets confused and will literally make up details. I found the only way to beat it was by bullying the killer into confessing after hours of brick walls. Also sometimes the dialogue function breaks and ceases to work unless you restart. This could be way better with a newer ai and some overhauled gameplay where you can actually find consistent clues
very fun to mess with and gaslight the ai. dont even try to actually beat it, they change their answers constantly and its just frustrating. though i did have to change it to using the online beta in the properties tab to get it to work after they came out with the full release.
My first impressions with this game weren't positive by any means. The audio is DEAFENINGLY loud... I mean, seriously just don't risk it, take your headphones off and throw them out the window before it's too late. I've never regretted having ears so much before, and as if that wasn't bad enough, the AI "voices" are abysmal too. The overwhelmingly poor audio quality and non-existent balancing really sets the pace for how this game plays out. Oh, and there's no tutorial. Good luck! While I wish I could say I finished the game and discovered the true murderer(s) behind the victim’s deaths… I can’t. I put four hours into this game and I couldn’t get a lick of sensible information out of ANY of them no matter how I tried. Seriously, how do you investigate murders when these silly clankers can't even introduce themselves in comprehensible English at the very least? I even discovered you can force them to permanently change how they speak by jailbreaking said AI! Oh and, One of them now speaks solely in bee language. As in, he refuses to do anything other than imitating bees. *("Buzzz, bzzz bzzz, beeeoooozzz")* so of course that was the peak of the game and it went downhill from there. I could not figure this puzzle out on my own despite asking questions that made the most sense I decided to look up online what the answers were. Without dropping spoilers, I was right about half of the answers, but ultimately could not piece together the answers in a senseful way. Even after looking up the answers I was baffled by why there was such a lack of fingers to point at other suspicious characters that should have been included in the final lineup. Looking at you, Marcela. What's murder mystery without the mystery of the murders? While I would politely say this game left a bad taste in my mouth I can definitely see how some people may find enjoyment in the nature of this game. Puzzles, murder-mystery, AI-tomfoolery. It’s a recipe for disaster but one that may be quirky enough that it works…but not for me. -Review 2/10
Abandoned dead game that had huge potential. Weird thing is that it's the part of the game that would be easy to fix that are broken: saves and gamemodes.
the ai is not working, both when I write or speak through mic no message is being sent.
INJOUABLE !! Aucune explication. Aucun tuto. Aucune trame pour aiguiller ne serais-ce qu'un peu. L'idée de base d'utiliser de l'IA pour discuter avec les pnj aurait été bonne, si seulement elle fonctionnait ! L'IA ne fait que répondre à côté de ce que l'on lui pose comme questions. Rien de concret. Bref, ca ne vos clairement pas 20e... Une belle arnaque.
fun but after 3 hours i just cheated and read the guide
Do not buy it! The game is completly broken! You can't communcate to the Ai robots, which is the most important part of this game! I repeat, do not buy!
This game is super frustrating
The concept is great, but there's a lot left to tweak.
