I really want to check this game out, but I just do not have the time right now. It is so up my alley though. So it is on the wishlist.
How does the end-game work? Like, do you solve your mystery and then start a new run? Or what's the actual structure there?
Finding the murderer can get pretty difficult (like when all you have is an initial and the murderer's shoe size) so it can take a while depending on your difficulty level. When you finally solve a murder you can either wait until the next murder happens (in the same town) or take a job from your closest notice board. Or just dick about in the city, it's an open world after all.
I haven't done many side jobs myself yet, but I have heard that one of them (public humiliation) involves throwing a pie into a target's face so I'm pretty hyped to try one of those.
You can also try to steal stuff from other people's apartments (the devs made every apartment in the city a fully furnished area you can enter) so you can afford a better apartment for yourself and the upgrades that you can buy for it.
Yeah, this is like Hitman levels of obsession in a game I think. I can't do this right now with work, Zelda, SF6 and Diablo IV. It sounds so great though. Still in Early Access, right?
Yeah, still in early access. It's been in development for ages before entering early access, though.
It's definitely one of those "hey look it's 3AM already" games for me so you'd be wise to finish your other games first.
I really want to like this game. I like the ideas behind an open mystery/detective game, but I played the demo during steam next fest and spent most my time just learning the ropes. It didn't feel as fun as I hoped. As someone who has played more, what has made it a fun detective game for you?
I had that the first time I played it. I quit after about half an hour learning all the mechanics. When I went back a second time it somehow clicked. I definitely get why people don't like it, though. You get a big city to explore but outside of the jobs you pick up yourself the world doesn't really engage you. You have to make your own fun which makes the world feel dead and empty if you're just looking around.
