Point and Click Futuristic Detective Game | Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
Amazing, amazing, amazing!! I was so upset when it came to an end!! I really hope there is a longer more fleshed out game of this in the works because I will play that in a heartbeat. I liked the art/style direction. The futuristic detective point and click was super cool. And putting the pieces of evidence to contradict the suspect in the Interrogation room was cool. 10/10 game
Quite an intriguing experience through and through.
I can split the game into 3 acts.
The introduction:
Acts as a tutorial, teaches you the mechanics patiently and lets you know that you need to pay attention to the details and look for the obvious.
- This is my second favorite part of the game alright.
Then we have The Hotel section.
- Without a doubt, my favorite.
If you haven't played this, beware, minor spoilers are ahead. The game's only roughly 25 mins long and totally worth it.
You simply put your learning into practice here.
The game does not seem to want to hold your hand, is quick to display the dreadful scenery which looms over your head, and you know it's asking you to keep a mental note on everything you're getting through.
Although the Race and Age part are basically guesswork, race because I only know the suspect is not Black, age cause ...
But generally speaking, this section fuels you for the next one.
At last we have the Interrogation and Suspension section.
- This is my least favorite.
At first, we're provided half a dozen suspect IDs to review through. we don't know anyone of them, and we have no reason to believe in or defy each being guilty.
Initially I thought that the guy had an outburst that perhaps accidentally caused the death and looked up the medical info, but of course the answer was occupation.
Why? "Because Hat, remember that?" This wasn't a moment of "But of course!", it was more or less like "okay?..."
It didn't exactly help either that half of the cases were either held captive, oversees, hospitalized, or DEAD. "Why am doing the system's fitchwork?" I asked myself.
Then we get to the interrogation room.
This didn't look like we were gathering information to tackle the "PRIME SUSPECT" when he least expects it.
You're really just matching the relevant image to the description. "Oh did you say you had a heart attack? we have an image of the scan that proves you didn't. haha!", or "Did you say you drive? well, yeah, I suppose that's true, but we're still holding that against you. haha!"... this isn't the game but the feeling I got out of playing that section. Artistically though, still a banger.
Finally we're here, THE END, of our story.
The system actually dares asking me the occupation of the mastermind behind it all, and it already has the data, I'm literally asking the SYSTEM for the man's information and the occupation is right freakin' there. "another fitchwork..." I guess. The ending feels mechanically shallow. We went from tutorial enemies to elite enemies to weakened elite enemies to DA BOSS! who is? a less-than-a-tutorial enemy. It can't be this simple now, the game's gonna reveal Hotel room 2.0, but it never arrives. leaving me asking for more.
But hey! I know now where to get more :D and all in all, really loved the experience.
Oh I really liked the mechanics and the feel here.
Gathering information through different systems, making the player really feel like investigator.
I was quite overwhelmed at first with my equipment but then I learned how to use the tools and understood how things work - and that was really really cool!
Wonderful investigation game with very nice, moody, theme fitting visuals amplifying the mystery.
amazing bruhhhhh, very nice style and the mechanics were really cool!! haven't seen anything like it, such a good game omg. Keep it up!! (only if you want to ofc)
The game is great, I enjoyed it really well. I wonder if there will be more to the game, I want to know why the guy wanted to talk to the agent at the end of the game.
Really enjoyed the game! Slick art, music and I really enjoyed clicking around searching for clues and deducing what to do next. Its not too hard, but not too easy either, I think the challenge was just right for a pleasant quick game.
One of the best quick mystery games I've played. It's not that deep and is quite easy, but it is still an enjoyable experience. I hope you explore the game further, cause the story is actually quite good and got me immersed.

Very cool! I love this UI and artstyle. The case is easy hovewer it is well-made and polished. I would like to play a full version of the game with complex cases
