2/5 as a game, 4/5 as a movie
As a movie, I LOVED the cozy art and humor. But as a game, it's too often tedious. There's very little deduction involved, mostly guesswork and luck. Will using the metal detector or X-ray work better to find out if a person is smuggling? Or will using the whip? Or will talking to them? And then should you deny them entry? Or send them to jail? Or call the councilwoman? Or call someone else? There's too many options and not enough clues to point you in any clear direction. Trying to get the 'best outcome' is tedious and often involves replaying levels over and over again. I had the most fun when I stopped playing it as a game and just followed a walkthrough to the letter and enjoyed the movie. And as a movie.... it was a lot of fun.
Is this helpful to you?
