Simply in Crime is a puzzle recreation the place you play each a detective canine and a wizard cat utilizing time journey to resolve a number of mysteries.
I’m an enormous fan of cosy and cute model video games, so this actually caught my curiosity once I performed a demo at BCN Recreation Fest. The lovable animals protagonists are extra than simply adoarble, although. The detective canine is ready to take ideas and string them collectively to make conclusions that may be introduced to numerous characters within the recreation, progressing the story. The wizard cat, alternatively, can return in time by a number of seconds to research what’s occurred prior to now, which may come in useful when fixing any thriller.
These two mechanics really feel so nicely designed and refreshing. I actually preferred combining concepts and seeing what conclusions I may provide you with – particularly after utilizing the cat to search out out some extra info in regards to the case. The cat is playful, andsilly and the canine may be very critical and straight to the purpose, making them a improbable pair.
The entire characters in Simply in Crime have their very own personalities and dialogue that makes interacting with everybody loads of enjoyable. There’s a bully who most likely did the crime…however possibly they didn’t! There may be additionally a shy chef who’s simply so upset that he labored so arduous on a birthday cake that has been totally eaten with out him having a slice and some different characters that simply add to the story.
Simply in Crime seems like a joyful, well-crafted detective recreation that doesn’t take itself too critically. Even the cat, who isn’t the most effective wizard, finds themselves to be good simply the best way they’re. It’s a enjoyable little crime recreation that feels good for all ages, particularly should you like cozy video games. You may also ditch your entire story and simply play with the claw machine or pool desk should you’d like.
Simply in Crime is at present in growth, however within the meantime you may seize a demo and add it to your wishlist on Steam.
