Detective Max: Murder Mystery

I can’t say enough good things about this game. They’ve really put in the time and effort to make the clues hidden and the puzzles challenging. It’s spoiled me though because I’ve played all the games in this series and nothing else measures up now. It’s just flawless. Please make another one soon!

At first the game seems so good and promising, then shortly after it becomes so annoying because the clues don’t make any sense and there are a lot of them that aren’t even needed! It is impossible to solve without seeing the walkthrough! Also even after you make an accusation and it turns out right you find that you haven’t even gotten all the clues! It’s just a mess. The only thing that kept me going and not deleting it is because I had invested so much of my time and was getting mad so I had to see if it gets better. It didn’t. I’m very disappointed.

This work of art is serious. No bells ringing and no maddening interruptions by cha-ching sound effects. The clues are what you make of them. Rake them over in your mind and run through them aloud or make notes. None of the clues spell things out for you; you might need to refresh your knowledge of Art and Physics, for starters. I printed lots of the problems out (the graphics are gorgeous and fit perfectly with the story)and got a pencil & graphing paper; freely writing things out helps with my logical thinking and memory. I did NOT finish the game in, say, a couple of hours. The graphics and layout of the rooms are significant as they are valuable for reminding and also for getting an understanding of just what happened to Alex. I love the bold characterizations used with members of the school faculty.😉😏
