Steam review snapshots
Nice and short point-and-click detective game.As I understood, all the sceneries were hand drawn.The pixel art looks cool, but it can make some interactive objects really hard to spot or interpret, which doesn’t help when…The writing is excellent, the atmosphere is weird in a good way, and Kathy is an awesome protagonist.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure filtered by weird, single-player.
