I just really want to the thank the creators and developers for creating a game OTHER than "finding the hidden object". I played the first game a few months back a replayed again before playing this one. I'm just so grateful for this unique and amazing game and I've been looking for games that are like this and i can honestly say, i couldn't find any. A detective game that actually makes you think..I mean, who would've thought there's more to a detective then finding hidden objects. The story line, the characters, the references, everything is just perfect. I couldn't help but smile when I encountered the familiar faces that I grew to know, and kinda love haha, from the first game. I finished both games in a span of about two days, so I did get really invested to the characters😅The game is challenging enough to really make you think but they are solvable and you can always watch a video to get a hint. Nothing costs money, but donations are excepted which i highly recommend doing, and the animation is really cool. I just had to write a review and truly thank the creators and developers and everyone who worked on these games for their hard work! I'm super excited for the next one!❤️❤️❤️P.SJust a little suggestion: maybe some of the pictures can help to the solve the cases rather than just fun detail or just some other kind of way to show the story just to add some variety...but i love the game regardless😁 again thank you so much!!! BEST GAME EVER❤️

I've played the whole trilogy, and can't wait to get my hands on the fourth when it comes out. The storyline is one of the most intricate I've ever encountered. Even the puzzles are top notch. I really like the way the developers don't assume we're stupid and included plenty of deduction/inference sequences. What was absolutely awesome was that I despised the *o**o* **o**e** and was completely on my character's side in the first game, but how the turntables by the third. It takes a master storyteller to do something like that, which the developers are.I could not get enough of this second installment! I liked the way a bunch of questions were answered, and how this game simultaneously snuck in tons of tidbits from the first game and foreshadowed the third (and fourth I suppose) heavily. I also think the dialogue/investigation format here was a big improvement from the first, which, call me an idiot, took me until Crimson Creek to understand in the first game; from here onwards you don't have to play guessing games with which question-paths you've already taken, haha. Anyway, I'm really glad you guys chose to Jonathan's story to expand on in game 2, because I feel like it needed to be told before the brothers'.What I can't get over besides the wonderful story and mechanics is how much effort was put into this series. Seriously, it melted my heart when I realized the whole thing was completely free and I didn't have to watch any ads at all. Even the programming looks like it would have taken a ton of money, time, and effort, and you had to work on stuff like the little hints Natalie drops as well as the clues for every step! You guys are some of the most intelligent, hard-working, and generous people I have had the fortune to meet by proxy through your apps.Just to reiterate: I cannot get enough of the storytelling. My heartstrings were masterfully tugged, and this game will always have a place in my heart.There are issues with typography and (in my opinion) lack of foreshadowing for some reveals, but that isn't nearly enough to warrant a negative review or even half a star off. 5 stars all the way for the Murder Mystery saga.

I can't figure out how to contact y'all since I'm not on social media. I found errors in the game that seems like a big detail...no real spoilers for folks reading. In One Step Ahead, April says Rich has been missing since March 8, 2006 and that Rich and Emma met June 3rd 2005. In Cell Phone, "I" say that Emma has been dating Rich earlier that parents thought, starting June 3, 2006. That's actually a year later than mom said. Then in Emma Windale, in the general inquiry before I visit the family, "I" note that Rich has been missing since April 5th, 2007. Why would the parents and I be saying different missing dates? I went straight from the Cell Phone to Emma so perhaps I missed something in another friends interrogation. If not, that seems like basic info y'all should have streamlined in the story. It's hard to build a timeline as a detective when basic facts don't line up. Thanks for your attention to these details! I will definitely update my rating to many stars when I hear back that this will be fixed. I just didn't have another way of contacting y'all to let you know.

I personally felt that the format for this game as well as the story was a downgrade from the first game. I appreciate having the option to write notes but the dialogue such as the interviews might as well have been written in a script format instead of having to click. The clues and conclude investigation options should not have been only accessible when we go to the first page. Also, there are times when there is a dialogue between the characters. For instance when jonathan met roman at the cafe. I feel like drawing out this scene instead of using the same images would improve the visuals and the experience.The story for this game was underwhelming, too. If I am being honest, I was disappointed when I first saw that this would be following jonathan because i expected the second game to follow a different story. However, after playing for a while and finding out it’s a missing persons case that he is working on, I became interested and invested in the story. The problem is that towards the end, around the time that mark is ******, the story goes downhill. Sometimes I wanted to go through the screen a slap jonathan because things that he said and dis both did not make sense and were not smart, especially considering he’s an investigator. That’s all I can say without spoiling the story. I also don’t understand why the writer(s) thought it would be a good idea to have roman practically lecture us on all the ways to hide a dead body. The scene felt useless and unnatural, and could have been shortened. The readers do not need to be educated on these specific details. And don’t get me started on how out of place the nightmare on the airplane and the finale were.There are other things that I disliked but it would take too long to cover everything. There are some things that I liked such as investigating rich, reading through the different witnesses from the party and trying to find consistencies in their story. But, at least in my opinion, the negatives overshadowed the positives. This definitely doesn’t deserve 5 stars.
