“فيجول نوفل بس مو لعبة تحقيق عادية زي ما توقعت، بالبداية تدخل عالم عن الفساد والجريمة والتحقيقات، وكل شيء كان ممتاز جدًا بالنسبة لي، النصف الأول تحديدًا كان رهيب، عالم جميل، موسيقى وأجواء قوية، وشعور مستمر إن فيه شيء…”

“An interesting take on the point and click game. Only a few hours long. Love the world, the art direction and design of the first 2/3 of the game. As others have said - it kind of falls apart a little towards the end,…”
