After watching the trailer, I decided to take the plunge and what I got was a 5 hour "listen em up" psudo "interweaving" narrative with a foreshadowed but still kinda weird twist ending I'd say really wasn't required. I bought it for a sound based detective game that was "open ended" as the writeup says, its not, each case has 2 or more questions posed and an end of case cinematic that highlight each "clue" in the dialogue. If you guess wrong, the game tells you how many you're correct with and sends you back to the start of the recording to listen and try again, each only has *one* correct answer. During my time with the game, my only real gripes are: Reaching the end of the timeline, the game pops up a screen to say "You reached the end, click the button to restart" instead of simply pausing till I scrub back. The game lacks any form of subtitles outside of the "end of case" cinematics. During play I always felt like I should have been able to zoom and pan the map to a degree (its locked in place) Stand out features are of course, the voice acting and the sound system the game uses, theres a faint echo and voices will play from the angle the speaker is to where "you" are, as you control a little blueprint man and right click to move around, room to room and follow speakers through each scene, moving your person to the speakers exact location makes their audio stereo. I cant say if having 5 or 7.1 audio makes a difference as i use stereo headphones but each characters voice acting was great quality and cast well, even the few characters that sound like they are over exagerating accents or cadence still fit with the overall feel (or rather sound!) of the game. Given there are only 5 real cases, including the Lethal script DLC case (Case 1: Twins doesnt really count, its a tutorial) there is a decent amount of content here for the price, if the devs make a sequel or more DLC, I would check it out as whats here makes me wish there was more.
