★★★★★

I've had a blast with this game and hooked a few of my friends on it as well. This is a great way to kill time... and possibly other passengers. Gameplay for each round depends on your choices: ranging from 5 minutes to half an jour. Each run timing is key, as our snarky protag tries to get away with murder and get rich, a real two birds one stone situation. Replay potential is rather high, as your choices and the order with which you take them can have quite drastic changes to the outcome.

Just like other inkle games, it's a fun puzzle to pick apart and replay, and the writing is great. A reverse murder-mystery is a brilliant concept. But I was disappointed with the short length of the game - I seem to have seen exhausted pretty much every option and completed all the tasks within a few hours, compared to 80 Days which held lots of surprises even after weeks of play.

★★★

Anthony “occono” O'Brien

Entertaining but compared to 80 days it's a lot shallower, you can get the best ending after 2-3 hours and there's far less replayability. There's no voice acting or animation so it feels a little incomplete. Maybe wait for a further discount but it's a nice game.

Reading text is a bore! Popup red text messages dissappear to fast.

First of this game looks amazing and the concept is cool. Now I would love to play but every time I load the game it crashes and when it does load the game seems to freeze and then stutter and finaly crash. I really want to play so I can give this game a fair review but at the moment I can't play because of the contnstent crashes that my phone has to indure. Mind you no other game has ever crashed like this before.
