decent balance of player deduction and some hand holding for the commoners.

overly hand holdy clue collection, but the accusation system is cool

Great!

messy as hell but very very cool!

non hand-holdy to a fault, and absurdly difficult.

The fact that a one off optional path in a single level of an assassination game is a better detective game than most is a perfect exemplification of the pain that is the existence of a detective genre fan. Play without full mission story guidance and hints.

largely single path, but has a decent bit of player agency. Would be a good foundation for a great detective game.

The detecting is ok but the game is great

A bit too transparently just a matching puzzle game to REALLY hit as hard as Obra Dinn, but the detecting is still great and organic without much hand holding.

actually good!
