A short but thoroughly enjoyable indie storytelling experience! I wasn't sure I'd get through it in one sitting, but I found the ambiance very compelling and surprisingly tasteful in all its lighting and sound effects, so I couldn't stop until the end. Overall, the writing does a great job at introducing what ended up being a rather intriguing story, so it was easy to follow along even without any voice acting. Very promising. Looking forward for future titles from these devs!

While the game isn't that bad, there are serious issues with interactions. Newspapers and notebooks don’t close properly and stay displayed on the screen. Meh.
This was actually a pretty interestin' game. It provides some ambience and an atmospheric setting. It's also pretty short of a game. Video: https://youtu.be/lxxJnwqxiy8
The ambience of this game is through the roof! Sound quality is good, it really sells you the mystery and the thriller inducing chills imo. Now i will be describing some of the good and some of the problems and i don't want to spoil things so play the game 1st then read the next part. [spoiler] [b]Some pros: [/b] [*] I already told this but the ambience this game delivers is really good from the sound quality and overall gloomy and dark atmosphere really gives this game a boost. [*]I love detective/mystery games and if there's a slight thriller/horror vibe to it i love it even more (e.g of games i love detective wise (sam and max, monkey island, the sinking city, wolf among us, the long reach, the last door series, disco elisium etc)).

[*]You remember the characters quite well and the ...
Interesting story and nice atmosphere, I enjoyed my time there :) It would be nice to see a controller support and mouse sensitivity options. Some subtitles were impossible to read, had to turn the flashlight off to read them. The clues screen border should change color after watching them, I forgot it was a blink the signal. Good work!
In a few words the game suck to short waste of money.
