About This Game On a cold November night in a desolate estate deep in the mountains an innocent life has prematurely perished. Surrounded only by his family and closest friends, a controversial yet immensely successful businessman William Goldberg passed away under mysterious circumstances.

None of these characters have any depth so you can't really tell who would actually commit this murder.Absolutely awful and often cringe worthy linesGrammitical errors everywhere."Where where you...""N,o...For example.The art style looks like the artist just started practicing character design two years ago.. While the artwork is at least interesting (if a tad ugly), there's not much else I can say for the game. I didn't finish it due to absolutely mind-numbing dialogue and narration. Spelling errors, melodramatic\/immature outbursts, no clear flow... there was nothing to lead toward an investment in the story. Flat characters who--when attempting to be entertaining--were about as funny as a rotten corpse. In fact, that's an insult to the corpse.Even at \u00a30.79, I would not recommend this and, if you see it going for free, I suggest you spent your time playing something else instead.. Very nice, but rather short Visual Novel. Took me about 1.5 hours to complete the story once. You follow the story of a detective with his assistant. The detective has a very special character ;)The story is nice and easy to read. Sometimes I wish the text lines wouldn't stretch over the complete screen but break more often. Would be much easier for the eyes. Also there are a couple of typos starting from about 50% of the story. But that was not a big problem.Overall a nice game for about 2 hours.. Keep in mind that this is aimed for younger audiences. I did not enjoy the writing, but I am probably not in the age range. Going to recommend it since it is priced right and it fills a void in a genre that does not have enough to choose from. I was distracted by the juvenile writing, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it was unbearable. Just be prepared for it.. All these reviews and nobody mentioned the master detective in this game is Jonny Knoxville.. The vast wealth of characters drew me in. The finely photoshopped backgrounds that surrounded the supremely human and lifelike drawings kept me watching with a close eye. Especially the young girl character Alex, who will stay in my nightmares for many weeks to come. I was unable to finish this game, sadly, because the true horror of murder and all it's dirty details was too much for me to bear. I hope someone with a stronger heart than mine will venture forward with detectives knox, clark and don't forget ROBERT! This is a mystery worth solving. 10\/10. All these reviews and nobody mentioned the master detective in this game is Jonny Knoxville.. Pretty twisted ending, tricky if u are not lucky with the questions u ask, the rest of the game was well written and the characters are pretty interesting and unique.. Overall, I liked this game and I recommend it. It is more about reading than playing. I cannot say that the story is brilliant but it is definitely above average. There are some spelling mistakes. Other than that I did not spot any bugs. It was an interesting experience for me. I will rate this game 6,5/10.. This game is pretty abysmal and I simply can't force myself to get through it. First of all, something that you notice almost immediately that is just incredibly irritating for a game centered around it's story, is that it has a LOT of typos and grammatical errors. Which normally you can overlook, but you really can't when a game is focused entirely on text and there isn't anything else too interesting about it to make you overlook it. As you continue on the personality of the main characters just becomes absolutely unbearable, Knox is a total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for no reason whatsoever and his partner Clark is just a cuck who takes all the crap Knox gives him with no actual resistance whatsoever. But if you try to look past the poor grammar and terrible characters, you're just met with another steaming pile of sweaty♥♥♥♥♥ and that pile is known as the actual game itself. It doesn't play how a crime-solving game should play such as Ace Attorney or something along those lines. No, this game doesn't even let you examine the full evidence to try and figure out the case, all your options are just pointless because this is just a train wreck of watching Knox berate Clark with a series of mispellings and bad character design.I got this game for $0.49 and I really try to keep an open mind about games, especially when they have such low pricing you really just try to overlook anything bad, but this entire game is just an atrocity and I am petitioning to make this game officially recognized as a war crime by the Geneva Convention.Do not play this game even if it eventually becomes free, it isn't worth it even then.
