Neat little game.
The structure is extremely linear. Go to location, pick up clues, offer clues to witnesses for new statements. Once you've gotten all the clues in a location, review your information and progress to the next chapter. It has a lot of beauty and visual appeal, but the gameplay is pretty unassuming.
Its the end of case 1 that really caught me off guard, a single line that recontextualizes the case and the information you've been given.
"Why was that clue labelled head priest's necklace? You didn't know there was a cult before then. So how did you know it belonged to the priest?"
Its a moment that makes you reconsider the way the story is told and how the narrator has doled out information. For a game so structured and methodical, its a welcome surprise! But its not necessarily enough to make me progress with the other cases yet. It awakened some curiosity, but the other cases would need to really spice things up to keep me motivated.
