The thing about this game is that it's a very wordy buddy cop detective thriller with no real fail states. That's not a negative, but you will not be able to meet all the goals you have and you should learn to deal with it.

Why? Because the game already tells you that you're a washout detective well-past his glory days, enough that you go on a disastrous drinking binge that would make The Hangover blush and have to be pried apart from the tiles you're lying on by your partner who is constantly exasperated with you. Still, for one reason or another you still manage to do your job at the end, the extent of which is dependent on how successful you are in doing things.

It is very wordy and constantly uses its own jargon that even I have to take many breaks or else I'll risk not actually understanding the game and bleeding from all cranial orifices.

It also has no real combat, relying instead on its roleplaying to carry it. Depending on whether this is your type of thing or not, it can work, because the writing is very good. Shame the overall game is short and we're likely not to see any sequels for this game thanks to a hostile corporate takeover.

I would rate this a 4.5 but the amount of words in this game that makes my head ache prevents me from doing so.
