Immersive Storytelling: Our unsolved case file games are meticulously crafted to provide a rich and immersive storytelling experience. You'll feel like a true detective as you dive into the narrative.
A lot of it might be irrelevant fluff or red herrings, but it is clear a lot of care has gone into ensuring each character has a distinct personality and could easily be involved in the story in some way. My kids are hooked on these games. We love them. It’s often a Friday night thing to do. We spread it all out on the kitchen table and argue about who the killers are. It’s great fun! Although I enjoyed Unsolved Case Files: Harmony Ashcroft, Unsolved Case Files: Jamie Banks left me in a place of doubt with this series. I’m leaning more towards the Cold Case games by ThinkFun as my true crime game series of choice because the cases are just stronger and more grounded in a logic puzzle.
Unsolved Case Files: Fight the Future?
Immerse yourself in an adventure filled with engaging puzzles, designed to be resolved within half an hour to an hour. Unsolved Case Files is an entertaining game once you get going. At first, you may feel a bit lost, but once you start diving in and connecting the dots, it is a rewarding experience. The photos are similarly polarizing. Most are perfectly fine, while others are so obviously photoshopped it’s impossible to take them seriously. None of these things are game breaking, however, which is a testament to the care that has been put into the game overall. The writing for the interviews, newspaper clippings and coroner’s report was surprisingly bland and felt like it was ripped from every episode of low-budget police procedurals I have ever seen. That said, I sometimes love that stuff so it didn’t distract too much from the mission at hand. Better, more theme-appropriate writing, isn’t that big of an ask here.
If the documents you choose to prove your answer are wrong, it won’t let you keep moving forward in the case until you’ve proven the answer and given the right documents for that proof. I Unsolved Case Files: Harmony Ashcroft felt plausible (sure, occasionally ridiculous, but I’ll play along for a couple of hours); Unsolved Case Files: Jamie Banks feels like it was a rush job on the part of the designers and writing team. Even before the true killer is revealed, the other suspects just never quite feel right. There are a couple of “red herrings” but those red herrings never quite felt plausible enough for serious consideration.On May 8th, 1998, Harmony and her fiancé Christian went to their wedding rehearsal dinner in Riverdale, Indiana with family and friends. After an argument at dinner, Christian went out to run an errand, and Harmony ended up dead.
