Right up my alley - love detective games that don't hold your hand. Would echo the sentiment that the guilty party's motives were slightly hard to nail down. But enjoyed when I'd get a hit on evidence testing, I didn't even discover that room for a good while.
Really enjoyed it!
Pure, distilled detective work. No open world, branching story lines, or unrelated size puzzles. Just evidence (and a lot of it) to search through, and one sole task, figuring out who killed Ruth Choi in 1991. This game clearly wears its Twin Peaks inspirations on its sleeve, however this game is much more grounded in reality. A little rough around the edges at times, such as being unable to adjust mouse sensitivity in-game, but stuff like that often comes with the territory with indie games. For fans of the Golden Idol games, Return of the Obra Dinn, or The Rootrees are Dead, I think there's a lot to like here.
Fun and fairly open-ended! The voice acting felt a bit superfluous, but other than that this is a pretty neat little game that leaves a lot of the thinking up to you. Stylistically it's pretty reminiscent of Scene Investigators and Painscreek Killings, but as it only covers one case in a smaller environment, it ends up feeling a bit tighter (positive). If you like this kind of puzzling, you'll probably enjoy this game too!

This game is amazing
Either do the voice acting or don't. I was enjoying this game (though noting some imperfections) all the way up to the interviews. I read through the William one, then the Andrew one, and then finally started the Jessica one. The first two were completely silent, but for some reason the Jessica one had a few canned words that had to be spoken in EVERY blurb, "hmm" or a chuckle, or "yeah," nothing remotely helpful. And even weirder, the detective had them as well, but ONLY on this one interview. It annoyed the ♥♥♥♥ out of me. Also, so much was collected for forensics, but apparently none of it was run, and the interview tapes are all you have. You can't re-interview someone, even when two statements are in conflict. Add to that some interface issues and lack of clarity on how the board had to be used, and I just can't recommend this.
Wolf Peak: The Case of Ruth Choi is an UNDERRATED game. Maybe it's due to lack of marketing, but I have no idea how this game isn't more popular. When you look up investigation / mystery games on reddit you'll find the same old: Roottrees, Painscreek, CaseCracker, The Operator, etc. Somehow, The Case of Ruth Choi is not on those lists. In my opinion, this game is for the elite. The top 5% that are well versed in case file games and know how to play detective. There is no hand-holding. You're plopped in an office located at the police station, told everything you need is in the room and you have a forensic specialist on speed dial for physical evidence needs. That's it. With that said, this game is hard. Everyone has a motive. However, if you're willing to whip out your notebook and really get to the bottom of it - the answer IS there. It just takes a lot of critical thinking and attention to detail. One small note - make sure you check everything. Click on everything. Take the time to explore. I had no idea there were two small filing cabinets located in the middle of the room until about half way through the game. 10/10. I hope the developers have plans to create more case files!
Didn't really find it very satisfying to play tbh, neither way the ending. Have definitely played way better detective games Wasn't *truly* awful or anything, just.. sorta ehhh. So if it's cheap enough and you feel like it, it's a maybe
Neat little well-made detective game!
