  1. Not something I would normally think about playing (it’s not Forza Horizon lol) but I could see the Wife getting into this with me, she isn’t a gamer (apart from level 2563 on candy crush lol)
    Be interested to hear others thoughts on this?

    1. I often play these types of games with my wife. We settle down with a bottle of wine, and see how things play out, discuss how we approach the cases, and link the relevant questioning together.
      I’m currently playing this right now, and it’s a decent murder mystery game, with plenty food for thought questioning and actions. It’s all about asking the right questions and linking the clues together to progress
