I have never done a review for anything other than this because I never believed anything worth the time. However, this series of games has always been completely captivating in it’s story line. The intelligence behind the investigations is phenomenal. The understanding of the criminal mind and the understanding of the workings of a detectives mind are completely impressive. And that’s coming from someone who worked as one. I believe I reviewed one of your other games and said this before. These could be award winning movies or novels in their own right. This game specifically has the capability of becoming a tv series. Keep up the good work. I look forward to more episodes to work through. I enjoy solving the puzzles and hunting down the criminals. And seeing what happens next in the story. Congrats on another great one.

So good that it is five stars even with the issue I’m having.

This game is amazing in spite of one major issue. The 4th best game I’ve ever played, behind the Murder mystery series by the same author. I can’t figure out the lake house (s2, e2) puzzle. The hints (and I’ve watched a ton of ads to receive these hints) are not helping. Combined with the fact I can’t save my progress and slowly work through it over multiple days, I can’t really play this game. A shame, because this is such a great game. It just is unfortunate that the game does such a good job of hooking you in, but the hints aren’t solid enough to get people who are struggling enough info to continue the game.(Also when is MM4 coming out? That was an excellent series!)

Hi there! Sorry for the issues in the Lakehouse case, that episode is notoriously rough... I do plan on making it a bit better. For now, if you'd like I can help you via email: Paul.perepel.business@gmail.com (sorry for the late response) Thank you so much for the 5 star review despite the issue!

I never do reviews but this one is review worthy. I especially love the storyline and the crimes in each chapter get better and better. I love the fact the story based out of Detroit. The graphics are great. I can’t put it down I usually get bored binging games but this one has me addicted. I dnt really have anything negative to say about it. You guys did an awesome job putting the whole thing together

I've played all your games and I really like the unique style of them, especially this game which has a much more engaging and easier to follow gameplay.That being said, something that could use some improvement is the hint system. I'm currently stuck on the second case of Season 2 because I've hit a dead end on how to proceed, and all the hint tells me is that "I should have enough to work with", which doesn't help since I don't know what I'm supposed to do to advance the story.Considering the momentum system and there being no guides or walkthroughs, this is really getting in the way of me being able to enjoy the game more.

Hi, thanks for playing! I see what you mean with the clue system, sometimes it's lacking. The fix will be included in the next update which will be the addition of Season 3, but that's still a bit far in the future. So, what I can do is give you the solution, and/or help you want via email.My email is - Paul.perepel@gmail.com.Lakehouse is certainly one of the very challenging puzzles, many many many players get stuck. I hope to hear from you so I can help you out. Thanks again!
