It's a very interesting Detective Game that lets you explore and consider things you would've missed the first time!! It also looks elegant and I love the font they used for the texts because it looks like a newspaper and very clean. I don't get cross eyed from reading the game texts. More

I played this cute little game on a whim, and found myself quite amused. It didn't have werewolves or Dr. Jekyll, as an adventure in the 1800s should, but the Choose Your Own Adventure vibe gave me quite a content sitting while waiting for the subway. More
