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!

About This Game
In the small idyllic town of Wolf Peak, the murder of a young women called Ruth Choi, shocked the community in 1991.
Two detectives were put onto the case and managed to whittle it down to 6 suspects. However, the detectives were never able to close the case due to insufficient evidence.
Years have passed and now you have been brought into Wolf Peak to solve this case. Through the passage of time, evidence testing and technology has vastly improved.
Coming up to retirement, Captain Simmons would love to get this case solved. He re-opens the case and brings you, an out of town detective, in to solve the case.
Are you up to the task detective?

A heads up to maybe skip this one if you don't like reading. I saw this game recommended on a message board looking for games similar to Obra Dinn and The Roottrees, and it did scratch that itch for me. One of the things that stood out to me was when they said it isn't easy and there is no hand holding. This is very true, there is limited to no hand holding other than basic instructions. I enjoyed the challenge of actually working it out for myself, and I love that they don't tell you who the killer is until you get it right. Even if I did (not to brag) get it on my first try (and yes, I 100% know I got it right, iykyk) to do that actually feels like a real personal achievement with this game, because I had to work for it. Highly recommend if you enjoy a real deep dive into information, facts and evidence with nothing to 'lead' you directly to the answers. 10/10 for real detective feel.
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
