Detectives United・Deadly Debt

Shortest game EVER

I play these games all the time and love them. Ive put out a lot of money to do it. Even though I enjoy this series, I have never played such a short game. Its short because its ridiculously easy. Everything you need to find and use is usually in one room and not very complicated. I will try another in the series, but if its as short as this one, Im done.

Eh …. Really kind of a mess

I’ve enjoyed the games in this title although they can be a bit short and murky from time to time. This one seems to have been quite rushed and I wonder if I accidentally wandered into a beta test. There are some missing elements that make the story difficult to follow like voice-overs for the TV news, any explanation of the murders, and two of the mini games have instructions reversed. Some of the dialogue and the mouth movements don’t exactly match up which isn’t a really big deal but it’s kind of hard to watch. I think a little more time spent on details would’ve been welcome to players who enjoy the series. UPDATE: contacted EG and was asked to specify my concerns, which I did. No word since. The app support link is broken as well. This isn’t the usual response from EG and they rarely put out a game so badly flawed. Wondering if there’s trouble in the company. 2nd update: was really hoping that given some time EG would fix this game. But no. Nothing. And that’s a real shame. Up to now, this was a fun title. But the glaring inconsistencies, lack of clarity and just plain lazy execution undermines EG’s history of well crafted, fun games worth the money. Those of us who have purchased EG games and left good reviews deserve an explanation and a promise to do better. Maybe you’re tired of money?
