| 2024-12-17 |  | | I really loved this game! Some details and text were a bit small on my device, and clearing a word from a field could be tricky, but aside from these small interface items I thoroughly enjoyed the game. Vibes remind me of Monkey Island and Disco Elysium at the same time! Super cool. |
| 2024-12-11 |  | | Great game. Love the story and was invested in figuring out the scenarios. I surprised myself that i didn't use that many hints. Great game, just wish you could play it without needing to have a Netflix account |
| 2024-12-11 |  | | Doesn't really seem to be working fully on mobile. Clicking the tapes while in chapter selection gives a black screen where only the text bubbles appear. And the app shuts down usually before 5 mins has passed since opening it. |
| 2024-12-05 |  | | This is a worthy sequel to an excellent logic and deduction puzzle game. If you haven't played The Case of the Golden Idol yet, you might want to start there to get the full effect of the context clues. Each "level" is a beautifully illustrated crime scene where you poke and prod to find clues and piece together what happened. The story's fantastic and the puzzles are difficult. The solutions are satisfying, not cheesy. All the evidence you need is there, you just have to be sharp. |
| 2024-12-04 |  | | This game is deeply story-driven, with unexpected twists that kept me hooked until the very end. The storytelling is exceptional, and I love how every detail and event is intricately connected. While there were moments of frustration trying to find the correct answers, it didn't ruin the experience; rather, it made the challenge more rewarding. |
| 2024-12-02 |  | | Loving this game, played the first on pc, glad to get this as part of Netflix, and I am loving it so far, but I just can't recommend the mobile version. Some of the text is just too difficult to read on my galaxy s23. Id love to have the option to pinch and zoom to help read some of the incredibly important text on clues etc |
| 2024-12-01 |  | | How do I stop the vibration. I hate it so much. The settings menu is so bare bones. Also in chapter ones conclusion they call the Stockyard street location a warehouse, even though previously it's always been called the "old dock". In "Garden Retreat" (in chapter 2) the supposedly pointy ears of the statue are too small to see on mobile. In "Protest movement" (chapter 3) the note that gives the name Coolidge is missing the actual text. |
| 2024-11-28 |  | | This is one of the most memorable gaming experiences I've ever had. Each puzzle initially feels incomprehensible, but as you uncover clues, you gradually piece together what happened, filling in the gaps with satisfying deductions. Meanwhile, a clever and intriguing narrative connects all the levels, culminating in a twist ending that ties everything together beautifully. If you enjoy puzzle games, I wholeheartedly recommend this. |
| 2024-11-25 |  | | They did it again, the most amazing game, I've ever played! At start I was afraid it would be easier than the first part, the Golden idol case, but no, it was amazing all the way till the end! Please continue doing these, it's incredible, addictive and mind-blowing |
| 2024-11-24 |  | | Still one of the greatest puzzle game series I've ever played, and still some of the most vaguely terrifying artwork I've ever seen. The story put a lot of the first game into context, which I didn't expect. I think the clues are a bit vague, but that's what I get for trying to find shortcuts. I didn't have any of the technical issues that others have on Netflix games... it might help if you have a Netflix account. |
