This could be an amazing game if only there was a setting for relax mode. You get so little time to solve a considerably important crime. They give you no time to look at the evidence and they give you five minutes to pick the murderer. Everything goes way too fast. There’s no time to think or figure anything out if it had a relaxed mood this game would be by far the best crime scene investigation game out there

Really enjoying the game so far. To make the game a bit more immersive and enjoyable, I have a few suggestions for the developers. 1. The video segments in the game could do with a rewind feature as well as subtitles so that you could go back if you missed a sentence or two. 2. There should be an option where you could solve the case without a time limit (although the time limit makes sense and gives a sense of urgency). 3. It would really make the game more immersive if you could freely move within a crime scene. 4. Lastly, also not a very valid point; the actors (who did a stellar job) could have done with a more fitting attire to the time period. I'm hoping that in the near future, new cases would be added as DLC content.

Unfortunately, I cannot agree with the predominantly positive reviews, as the app still has some shortcomings: - There was a time latency of up to 3 minutes between my fellow player and me! This means that she couldn't see what I was doing until minutes later. - Sometimes we were both invisible to each other. - It's a pity that the spoken texts are not translated into different languages. But the fact that they are not even displayed in text form in English makes it difficult for anyone who doesn't speak English very well to understand them. - The font on the letters is very small and difficult to read; an overlay text would also be helpful here. - If you struggle to understand the language, the time limits available are far too short. This is particularly annoying when searching the Scotland Yard "computer". - The board is too small to pin all the clues on it. - And ultimately, I would have expected more from the app than just sifting through a lot of clues and then expressing a suspicion. Especially as the only way to repeat the game is to collect all the clues again. That's too boring to play again. - For a game that is over in just two hours, the price is still too high. What to do: Translations into the most common languages would definitely be helpful. This should not be difficult in a time of DeepL (with which this text was also translated) and ChatGPT. The time limits should be extended, perhaps combined with difficulty levels. What bothered me less were the non-authentic items. Of course, in the 1880s there were no modern film projectors with colour film, no examination rooms with one-sided mirrors and TV monitors or even computers. But such things naturally destroy the intended Victorian atmosphere.

PLEASE, I BEG YOU: I simply love this type of games and I love Sherlock Holmes but I am not a native speaker. I am not going to ask you to translate the voice but, at least, insert English subtitles! It should be quite inexpensive and it could permit to almost everyone to enjoy the game (it is not an arcade: every word must be understood!!!)

The good: The game is fun and really engaging. The graphics are good. And interaction is good. The mystery was a good challenge and. I really enjoyed it. The bad: Its a bit short and the ending seems rushed, because of all of the timed based limitations. Also the scenes with Watson are cool but the users perspective is extreamly short, like being a 4 year old short, and the video is a bit out of focus or distorted. Overall, its totally worth the current $12 price tag. As it is developed more, I would like to see multiple mysteries to explore and less time based limitations. The i could see it being worth around $25 or more, depending on the the number of mysteries available.
