Congrats on the full release of your game, and thank you for creating this game! I'm looking forward to sitting down and playing the full game soon!
Well looks cool but buy almost all my games on GOG. So i guess ill pass on this one. Best of luck ro ya.
Same here. I would have totally bought this. But steam is a crapshow.
The game is now released on Steam 😄🎉
BRANE, Lorenzo, do you think about releasing it also on GOG.com in some (hopefully near) future?
Publisher is the one that makes such decisions and sadly there was no talk about that. Two of us wouldn't mind that at all!
Hey, there is a malware spammer spamming link to a fake update
Already reported and hi\she is commenting this same crap all over the site
And its a zero day malware since Kaspersky detected it today
https://opentip.kaspersky.com/DC4CAEFAC914C49EF58D90107901E0274DDD8F6A3E789C456A...
Unfortunately, this kind of spam comment keeps appearing constantly. We keep reporting and banning them, but they use a new account every time. I don't know if there is anything else we can do, other than flagging all those comments manually as soon as they appear :(
They banned the user and I also reported to Patreon that there was a malware being hosted
Bad the user was legit before (I dug the profile) and was hacked
This game is well polised, great job developer. It reminds me of "The Case Of The Golden Idol" style. Keep it up :)
I would like it if the full game was free, I promise to donate if I earnt money from game developing... Anyways the game is great! i always wanted to become a detective since i was a kid, but since i wanna become a game dev, i just sticked to it... Anyways keep up the good work BRANE!
10/10
It was super cool!
Thanks for the new version !
i loved this game i need the fullgame
I enjoyed the demo a lot! I hope to play the full game!
My Laptop (chromebook) doesn't seem to be able to handle this game? The Itch.io version I mean. It can handle the tutorial just fine, but it crashes at the first level (before it loads) does anyone know a way to fix this? I'd love to play the demo it looks awesome!
I'm a little confused because the Steam page says the game isn't compatible with MacOS 10.15 or above. Is this a 32 bit game?
No, it's newer. I probably need to tick of something somewhere in Steam
Loved the demo! Can always go for more Case of the Golden Idle-likes, and this hits the spot. Enjoying the art, cases, and overarching story so far, keep it up!
the demo is a lot of fun!!!
Spoiler:
With the current events... Having the Mexican be the murderer of Bradley was tasteless.
oh brother... -a mexican

Wonderful game!
Great demo really enjoyed it definitely looking forward to play more of your games
super short, wish it was longer. love this type of game, 10/10
Great stuff here! I've played a bunch of other stuff like this, but this is the only one that's managed to captivate me for the whole thing- usually I get bored and start skimming. I even read along. Fun stuff. The perfect difficulty too- hard enough that it was satisfying to get right, but easy enough that I didn't need to think too hard.
It doesn't seem to be working on windows when I launch the .exe
Do I need to do something with the .pck file?
love it <3
Nice design 👌
really REALLY nice game! Can't wait for the full version 👀
Relogged into my account just to say how much I adored this demo, I even checked out your other stuff + wishlisted. Hope your development continues <3
So excited for the full release! Had tons of fun trying to piece together each crime. Great job!
I need help I don't know how to get passed the 1st thing It says I have 1 clue still I am right but when I change something it doesn't make sense or it says I have 2 clues wrong
where are you in the game? who died
the 1st part of the game like the 1st case that's where I was
Always crash when i open it T_T
This game is outstanding! From the moody, retro aesthetic to the brilliantly layered mystery puzzles. I genuinely felt like a detective unravelling a dark Hollywood conspiracy haha.
The art style is immersive and I could tell the artist was attentive to every detail, and the clue tracking details makes every piece of evidence feel meaningful. Plus, seeing the developers actively refine the gameplay speaks volumes. Can't wait for the full release. 💓💫
Loved how you turned some letters into bold to match the style in the game lol
Looking forward to the full game! Wishlisted on Steam!
I started the game but it plays the music and crashes immediately. Please solve the issue

wonderful game!
This game has potential, but stuck at the Patrick Raven case. Perhaps I will replay it and crack it. Perhaps I may watch yT replays (EDIT: I did and closed it).
SPOILER ALERT: I only played a demo, and I concede that this review is very harsh. But here goes.
One thing is certain: the way you interact with the evidence and arrange it to close a case is far from polished: you have to keep going back and forth between your casebook and the facts (viz, "Keywords") of the crime scene is a hassle. Especially if you have a bunch of keywords all over your casebook but you can't make sense of where you got them from.
The Patrick Raven case (mission 2) exemplifies just how annoying this can be. Many of these keywords are sometimes out of context. Or, how does a threat by the deceased to kill someone with a gun "shoot" inspire you to believe that the placement of roles in a production (a "shoot") had a bearing in the case? and why is it that I have to get the party invitation to get the keyword "role", but I can't get it from a letter taken from Keller's blasted out person, even though this is no less relevant than its place and context in the entire mission? this is an utter non sequitur.
On the strength of how there are no reminders of where you got your clues or keywords (cluewords????) whatsoever I would not recommend this game, not unless the devs paid you Robuxxx or $$$$$.
To Devs: Suggest (re)playing Phantom Doctrine to get a feel of how better to organise the user interface to better help people whose memory is bad, otherwise this is going to be little more than a point and click hassle. This game is NOT how most cops, detectives and spies do their sleuth work.
im also stuck on the patrick raven case
are you also missing a name? or more like two.. can't find it, I pretty much have the whole story outside of the wife's name EDIT: it's in red text on the casting list. wish uninspected evidence was a bit more visible as not fully done, gen thought it was greyed out
I can feel your pain bub. HINT: the keyword you need to get it done is in one of the LEAST likeliest places. You will simply just have to search everything, even anything that isn't directly connected to it. Infuriating? yes. Illogical? definitely when you realise where you get this keyword from. But unfortunately that is how the cookie is crumbling, maybe I should just play This Is The Police or Phantom Doctrine instead.
I understand that this is just a "first version" but it is feeling more and more like a proto-pre-alpha version than what should be a public beta. If I were an investor I'd be having second thoughts about letting the devs play with my money.
AMAZING!!!!!
Damn man this game is so good well mad
so good
The detective theme and art style look fantastic! Looking forward to playing this.
I never leave comments, but I LOVED this game. I cannot wait for the completed storyline!
