Man, what can I even say.
I knew going in that it was going to be real detective game with true investigational freedom like Obra Dinn. But as a free browser game, I did not expect it to have as much depth and polish as it ended up having. A great surprise.
There being mandatory identities as well as optional characters and people with multiple photographs made the moments where you confirm 3 identities more exciting.
Figuring out The Big Mystery of the game wasn't as comlex as I had expected at the start, but it was equally as satisfying to keep getting evidence confirming my theory throughout the second half of the game.
Conversely, I had a lot of trouble pinning down those last few identities and I am not ashamed to admit that not only did I not get all of the optional names and pictures because I missed some articles, but I also had to brute force the jobs of my last two characters and only after having the answer revealed did my brain click to exactly which evidence was supposed to point me to the answer. I blame this on me binging the end of this game at 3 in the morning (the same time I am writing this)
Overall, I think this was and incredible videogame that could be sold for a considerable amount of money and I would still come out as satisfied. Greatly recommended for detective game fans.
