The Murder Mystery Machine is on a murder hunt and hunt for criminals. As a detective, you investigate and feel the murderer on the tooth.
A dead politician
In the murder mystery machine you join the DCA, the district crime agency. Your mission is to help Detectives Cassandra Clarke, the young recruit, and Nate Houston, the seasoned inspector, solve numerous cases. It all starts when politician Frank Daniels is found dead. It all looks like a break-in. Our two heroes find themselves investigating a range of complex and interrelated crimes. Collect clues, combine evidence, interrogate suspects and find out who the perpetrators are. Will you rise to the challenge and uncover the truth?
Explore the crime scene
In an isometric view you explore the crime scenes, change your perspective and find new clues. You look for the contradictions in the testimony of the witnesses and expose the liars. The story is inspired by film noir. The game was released on August 25, 2021.
As an investigator on a mission
The characters seem believable and the music creates a suitable atmosphere. There is no voice output. The conclusions are real challenges, given all the information you have to memorize. In addition, the amount of facts sometimes becomes confusing, which can quickly become frustrating.
The scoring system
You can use tips to help. However, if you resort to these, the grading by the scoring system will deteriorate. The evaluation is based on found objects, evidence, conclusions as well as the allegations and the references used for them.
The graphic
The story is graphically presented in cartoon style, with shades of cel inserted. The levels are detailed and sharply designed. You cannot interact with all objects.
Conclusion
Blazing Griffin bring up a solid noir detective crime game, but in some places it could have been better thought out. It can get a bit frustrating at times if everything doesn't connect the way you expect it to or if the information seems overloaded. If that doesn't bother you, you can take a look at the whole thing and sharpen your detective eye.
