Definitely had some heart and a lot of good intentions but was really just not finished all the way. I'd love to see them give it another try with more time and playtesting etc.

It was very mid... but could it have been improved, yes. Did deserve to die, no. I don't have much of a connection to it, having played it once (for maybe three rounds), but I watched it die and felt bad.

This was a flawed but interesting game. It definitely needed more love and care from Konami. But Konami is Konami so in less than 24 hours, you won't be able to play this game anymore! And the sad thing is, no one seems to care... The sad fact that my friends Wild Potato, RealHaloMan, Sputnik and myself are the only ones who even bothered to write a review for it here says alot. Steam DB said we were the only people in the whole world playing it when we were too...

There won't even be an offline patch, this game will just be GONE. Forever.

According to Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation, 90% of pre 1929 American films are lost. The Library of Congress estimates puts 75% of all silent films as dead as Dillinger.
The video game industry has not learned from history. It refuses to. Because, in a joker voice capitalist society, all that matters is profit. To the rich ghouls who control every facet of our world, money is the end all be all. Not art, not anything meaningful. Just as long as any of these parasites can afford a 76th yacht, a toilet made out of solid gold, or another trip to Epstein Island (or wherever the hell they're going to now), that's all that matters.

Sorry, I'm getting weirdly mad over losing a game that I just think is only "ok" but it's more than that god damnit! Art is art. Good art is art. Bad art is art. Even mid art is art. Erasing it is, and will always be, a fucking crime against the human race.

Crimesight is an odd one. It's essentially an asymmetric board game ala Among Us but literally made by Konami. It's notable because it's going to be taken offline less than one year after it's release, rendering the game entirely as a dead weight on your steam account. it's a shame too because there are a lot of good ideas here even though the game is absolutely ZONKED in Moriarty's favor... at least it seems to be. i will literally never find out what the meta of this game is.

but as a game it's honestly fun with friends. i think the game suffered most from a lack of promotion from Konami which is a shame because the game could EASILY have been patched to a much more even playing field and now we'll never really get to see what could have been from a game that seems to be created to fail.


The game has cool art and music, but Moriarty is a little overpowered and you will win if you understand the game a little. Also Konami kind of dropped the ball in their marketing, platform selection, and just about everything else outside the making of the game itself. The game can be funny with friends, but it's literally shutting down May 1, 2023 so that's not happening. Thanks, Konami.

Playing this game with some friends before Konami shuts the servers down and this game gets sent to the void (only a little over year after this game came out, might I add). When we played it, we checked the Steam stats and we saw that we were the only people IN THE WORLD actually playing it.

This game is fine. It is totally okay. It's not really all that notable outside of some decent tracks in the OST and some pretty cool character designs. With that being said, it's sad to see something that a fair few people probably had to spend hundreds of hours working on just get shut down, with no one ever getting the chance to play it from now on.

That shit really sucks.
