It's a good game, good puzzles and decent length, but hiding the cost away as an in app purchase was frustrating, as i came into this knowing it was a paid app and had to download it anyway just to figure out how much it would cost. (11.29 CAD) its worth it anyway, but please just be upfront next time. many of us WANT to support you, doing this in order to get downloads from people who dont play paid apps is just ensuring that no one is happy.

Phenomenal deduction game! However, there are a lot of typos. One in particular threw me off for a long time, where the text I needed to fill in was "the [blank] [blank]". Turns out, that was a person's name. Not a title. Why is "the" there?? Besides that, though, there's no way to clear the progress. I even deleted my data through Play Games, reinstalled the game, and while it shows 0 achievements, all the chapters are still finished. Please add a way to reset data!

Hi Detective, we are sorry that are experiencing issues with the game. If this is an issue with particular translations please let us know here: support@playstack.com. If it is not translation issues, the clues are hidden contextually around the scenes and can be difficult to figure out! But we know that you are more than able to uncover the truth.

Really great game despite some bugs, missing features, and unreliable support. Impossible to turn vibration feedback off (nothing in the menu gives the choice to disable) and some of the features don't work (hints don't work and neither does resetting a scenario).
