Sights & Sounds
- Charming pixel art throughout. It's not as eye-catching as other adventure games using the style, but it serves its purpose well
- I really dug the music. Gave me Stranger Things vibes

Story & Vibes
- The game consists of a set of 9 cases (6 main and 3 bonus). As you'd expect, these vary a bit in quality. Cases 2 and 5 were particularly interesting
- There's a lot of callbacks to previous cases in the later portions of the game, but I wish a little more attention would have been paid to an overarching narrative to tie things together more tidily
- The game had a pretty good sense of humor. Some of the jokes landed really well. I'm a little tired of 4th wall humor in the adventure genre at this point, though
- All in all, I'd say the writing is the real highlight. It's funny, but there's a lot of personality in each 8-bit character

Playability & Replayability
- It's a point-and-click adventure game about detectives. You already know what the gameplay loop is. Find clues. Combine items. Talk to people. Solve puzzles with bizarre solutions
- I'm not sure I'm feeling a replay coming on

Overall Impressions & Performance
- It functioned well on the Steam Deck, but it's not exactly a system-taxing experience
- I did encounter a weird bug in the 5th mission where an item didn't spawn. Quitting out and reloading managed to fix it, fortunately

Final Verdict
- 6.5/10. It's a fun little game and worth a playthrough. Not many bells and whistles, but the writing is great. Pick it up on a sale
