I only played 10 minutes of the demo and I was bored. But I think it might be a good game for beginners. Or torture for advanced players. Could go either way. You play as detective Carrie Chase and it's your first day and of course you get a case right away. This affluent fashion designer is strangled to death while driving and crashes into a telephone pole. You and the chief start to investigate. The chief apparently likes to hear himself talk and doesn't listen to what others say. Chase gets a few words in here and there but only if they pertain to the subject he's talking about. The characters have more character than the HOS. The graphics are grainy and outdated with the shadowy parts making some parts of the scenes dark. Some items were really small and hard to find. The first HOS I played wanted me to find 5 ammo. Since this was taking place in the detective's office, it was easy to know you had to look for bullets. What they don't tell you is that it can be ANY type of bullet. They don't all look the same and they are all tiny.Another problem I had was I had to find two red pens. Seems easy enough except that they were small and you had to click them in a specific spot before the game recognized you were clicking the pen. For example, the first pen I found I clicked on the top part of the pen. No problem. The second pen, I clicked on the top and it didn't register. I click again, still nothing. I click on the middle bottom edge and FINALLY it reacts! Kind of irritating especially since the scenes are timed. I don't mind time limits, but only if I didn't have to find a needle in the haystack with a few objects. I usually don't listen to the sound because I play late at night before I go to bed and I turn the sound off so I don't disturb my husband. But I did hear the opening and it irritated me before I turned the sound off. Something about it just didn't seem to scream fashion murder mystery with it. The level of challenge is finding some objects. Since the graphics are a bit fuzzy
