Un juegarral, te hace dudar de todo y de todos, además de que es un paranoia muy divertida. Si te gustan los juegos relacionados con crímenes y el humor absurdo, lo recomiendo altamente.

Coole Erfahrung

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Amazing puzzle game
Really liked the game! It was a nice detective puzzle, you have actively help to solve the crime. I hope they make more games like this.
J'ai adoré ce jeu ! L'équilibre entre le côté enquête et humour est superbe. La liberté de fouiller ce que l'on veut (bien que ce ne soit pas toujours utile) et la frustration de ne pas avoir assez de temps forment également une bonne équipe. J'apprécie également les "raccourcis" mis à disponibilité à la fin de notre première game, permettant d'aller plus vite durant les suivantes si on le veut ! Et bien que ce soit un jeu solo, il est parfait pour une soirée à deux, réfléchir ensemble, confronter ses idées etc.
It's so good!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is the main mystery to solve but there is also an underlying mystery of what is even real and who is the mindcop. There is so much to do and see it's impossible to do all of it in one run, so there is replayability, and the animations are awesome and cute.
This looks like my kind of game, however I think it's too flawed to recommend as a detective game. The idea is sound: explore areas in a neighbourhood, question different characters, and try to work out who did it. But there are problems... Firstly, the mindsurf minigame is just tedious. It's also not super intuitive, and it is pretty jarring when compared to the rest of the game. Yes, you can disable the mindsurf minigame to make it automatic, but what it doesn't tell you is that it changes it to be stat-driven, so you need to have a certain level of mind bullets (or whatever they are called) to mindsurf a character. And it doesn't tell you the mind bullet requirements before you try, so unless I'm wrong, you just end up losing a bunch of detective time. Secondly, there are loads of things to interact with and explore to find clues, but there's not enough time to look at everything - of course this is how the game is designed, and this would be fine, if there was some way to determine where the important stuff is. While you can just go on another run to make sure you look at everything, the game doesn't keep track of the things you already looked at, so unless you have a very strong memory or have been making notes, good luck. Honestly, if the game actually left everything I'd looked at as already explored on the next run, I'd probably have persevered and finished the game. It's mad because the game does remember who you've mindsurfed, but you don't have any of the clues you found, and if you've forgotten where you found something, tough luck. For me, the first of these problems I can overlook, but the second just killed the game for me. It's a shame because the art style is kinda cool, and the characters and their internal thoughts are fun (and sometimes very dark) but this just didn't gel for me. An option that could have saved the game for me would have been to allow a mode with a lot more time - enough to explore whatever you like within a single run. Maybe infinite time but force the user to progress a day at certain checkpoints? Maybe it's my OCD but I just wanted to explore everything or have some logic to what was important and what wasn't.
Good Music, nice art Style, interesting story and characters (esp the main duo ofc) Im so glad i found this game, really a nice detective game that doesent take itself too serious
Zwar nur eine kurzweilige aber dafür spannend geschriebene Detektivgeschichte mit lustigen Dialogen. Klare Empfehlung für ein entspannten Abend
