I LOVE this game! I especially love how you showed the perspective of Mr Burlap as well.

Really fun! I feel like I messed up the most with my deductions on this one than the other two but that's on me not paying enough attention to the information.

This text adventure's mystery and old-timey theme doesn't fit with my style. Sure, the start of the game is OK, but one of the links glitch out. 2/5 - quite bad

To put a link in the text of a gamebook, I press the "page" button to the right of the text, then type whatever I want the link to read. Then you'll have the option to add the link to any page you've made.

I'm glad you like the series

Really enjoyed this one. Also really enjoyed the addition of calculations and whatnot, which I'm sure would be part of his investigative process. I liked the story a lot and game play is fun. I never get everything right, but that is part of the fun :D

Review Mason123

10 Jun 2016

Binge-played the entire Victorian Detective series just today for the first time and they are truly fantastic. The sheer dedication that goes into these games is remarkable and the final products are of such a high quality. This was my favourite by far, the story felt much longer and therefore more fulfilling to complete, though my one issue sometimes is that often the correct answer is justified well, but it's very easy to pick the wrong answer when you can't find anything contradicting it directly if that makes sense. So so you can sometimes miss one small clue pointing to the right answer and end up thinking the answer is something different because it seems logical based on what knowledge you did collect.

Amazing! 11/10
I played all three of the victorian detective series, and I was amazed at the creativity put into each one. I don't understand how one cannot rate a 5 star for something like this.

17 Jul 2015

I am a huge fan of the other games in this series, however this one did not meet my expectations. While in the other games, every conclusion could be backed up with evidence, in this one, some conclusions seemed a bit far fetched. there wer also a feew gramar issuz. What a heartbreaking ending to the otherwise soulful series.

Review viky

13 Jul 2015

Fantastic as always, though I would suggest more build-up and details for the ending. It seemed a bit sudden(this goes for Victorian Detective 2 as well).

28 Apr 2015

Yet another very good entry in the Victorian Detective series, which seems to be the best-written original GameBook series that the Quest engine has to offer. Like any good mystery does to its viewers, you'll find yourself on the edge of your seat waiting to see how the story proceeds, and ultimately, wraps up.

Review HappyPie

Review DaNiX88

23 Feb 2015

It preserved the atmosphere and intensity of its preceding counterparts, though there were more spelling and grammar errors uncorrected. Also, some of the options seemed a little too far-fetched and a bit chancy. All in all, this was a great series that I highly recommend to anyone that has a scientific, historical interest or an interest in mystery novels.

Great work!

Review maisonhawke

19 Feb 2015

This is quite astonishing! The whole vibe of the game is mysterious, and it makes you feel like a real detective. Very Sherlock Holmes-like (which is probably intended). You must make more, my dear man! Arthur Conan Doyle is dead, but you still live. So please make more of these, cause YOU'RE FRIGGIN AWESOME

Review danaburgerrr

19 Jan 2015

I was really excited to see that you made another one of these! the stories are always so interesting and detailed. you're a great writer, and these adventures are so much fun. I liked this one, especially the "heartless" storyline, but I felt like some of the deductions were a bit far-fetched. a few times, I didn't feel that there was enough substantial evidence to make a rational conclusion, and that the explanations for coming to those conclusions were a little non-believable. other than that, I love this format and the worlds you create. great game.

Review karimcassimally

16 Jan 2015

This is another really fantastic sequel to the Victorian Detective series.

I want to give it four and three quarters of a star, but I can't, so I'll give it five instead. Where Part III lost a quarter of a star for me is that in the first two parts, everything could be solved by being observant, researching, and using logic, whereas I felt in this part, for some of the puzzles you just had to make a lucky guess. There weren't many of these puzzles, and perhaps you could in fact solve all of the puzzles through logic. If this is the case, please accept my deepest apologies!

Anyway, congratulations on another excellent game, and I hope you keep writing this series. You have already written three brilliantly entertaining, challenging, and original games.

P.S. I love the artwork!

I love these games. Anyone who gives you anything less than a 5, is either Jelly (because they can't do what you do), or they are Butthurt (because they got a low score...you know....cause they may be dumb and stuff). Keep up the awesome work, my dude.

Review SivD1

19 Dec 2014

Very good, I love this trilogy. Though I have to say, I think this was my least favourite to date.

It's odd, because it featured some of its most clever deductions, but also some of its silliest. I thought that bringing the chases back was a good addition, and some of your puzzles were very satisfying and made perfect sense. Though I thought Claire's character was a bit OTT, and could have been toned down a bit. Also, (spoilers here), I knew Quentin was the killer as soon as we first met him in the bar, so it kind of took me out of the experience as I said "Look! He's right there!"

Overall, I still enjoyed it. Great length, very little grammatical errors, and enjoyable throughout.

Just played the entire trilogy. Some of the best gamebooks I've played, just based on the sheer thought that went into them. I got a 34... would have been 35, but I intentionally made the incorrect last choice and let the bastard die! Great games, anyone who likes to think while playing will love them.

Comment peter123

05 Dec 2014

Larry (first dude to rate the game),

SPOILER

When a pawn reaches the last rank in a game of chess, it is promoted to a queen, or any other piece you want. That's not a glitch, that's how chess works.

That's unfortunate that you gave me a star off for that, dawg

Review LeisureSuit Larry

04 Dec 2014

Overall I liked it but there is a glitch in the introduction...according to the picture you inserted of the chess game the player uses a pawn to place the Black King in checkmate, but in the picture the pawn turns into a queen and but in the previous two moves the queen was already removed from the game. If the final move was a pawn, It would be impossible to place the Black King in Checkmate.
