Curtain Call

➕ Well-Made Physical Components: The documents and letters in the game appear handwritten and authentic to the 1930s era, enhancing the immersive experience. The inclusion of trinkets adds to the game's charm. ➕ Engaging Story: Exploring the lives of characters in the 1930s and their connection to the theater world is fascinating and adds depth to the narrative. ➖ Cursive Handwriting Challenges: The cursive handwriting in some documents can be challenging to read, necessitating the use of transcripts on a computer, which detracts from the immersive aspect. ✖️ Minimal Deduction Required: Many pieces of evidence are provided with answers that are almost too straightforward, reducing the need for deductive reasoning. It would be more satisfying if more deduction were required. ✖️ Overabundance of Coded Messages: The game includes numerous coded messages that require substantial time to decipher, leading to busywork that may become tedious. "Hunt A Killer: Curtain Call" offers an engaging story with immersive props, but it may not be worth the high price point. The abundance of coded messages and the lack of deduction required to solve the case can make the experience feel repetitive and time-consuming. While the physical components are well-crafted, the gameplay could benefit from more challenging puzzles and less busywork.

This is a multi-box mystery, with each box having its own piece to figure out. I loved all the tangible pieces of evidence. Everything was so beautiful and well-themed, and the mystery itself was very fun to figure out, though not particularly difficult.
