Who Is The Killer (Episode IV) Reviews

Ok so far

DUKE1007

It's alright so far. But it's kinda confusing

Every single episode has been buy-to-win, and this one is no exception. It is clear that the developer either doesn't speak English well and/or doesn't want to hire an editor; every episode has been riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes, but this is by far the worst episode - one character's name doesn't even match the name in his description! The word puzzles go from simple to nonsensically difficult, which adds to that buy-to-play spirit, as the already limited "energy" goes too fast to get ANYTHING meaningful done in a day, and the puzzles are often too difficult to hope to get any free energy. If we started with double the amount of energy, or possibly used it half as quickly, this game would be heavily improved. But then the creator wouldn't make quite as much money, and that's clearly what this game is made for. The only thing that's kept me thus far is wanting closure to the mystery, but you don't get any meaningful information about any of the characters while playing (y'know, when it's most important) - which makes guessing the murderer a complete and literal guessing game; you have nothing to go on - and the conclusions shown in the next episode are almost random themselves. We're supposed to guess the murderer based on motive, but we don't even know the motive until the next episode. When trying to use hints - on the first unnecessary "investigation," because the clues were so vague to begin with - nothing happened. I ended up finishing the investigation, deleting and restarting the game to get all the resources I had forfeited back. There are better murder-mystery games out there. But if you're into throwing money away for next to no benefit at all, this is the game for you!
