I really liked this game it gave me FEELS. i saved three of the girls; i went to the library instead of the docks and the girl drowned :(
I really really really liked playing as the bad guy. It was really cool how you did the blackouts. i saved him at the end, because i had seen from his point of veiw and i felt bad for him.
in short this game is really good!

Absolutely love the concept on you giving perspective to Brewer’s thoughts, instead of just portraying him as a heartless murderer

Very gripping story.

I loved that you sprang for an understandable villain - some of the best villains of all fiction have understandable motives (Thanos, Phoenix's Joker, and Darth Vader come to mind).

Gameplay seemed more simple than first game, but then again, last game I didn't use the Internet for help.

True Rating = 4.5 (Rounding Up Because Why Not)

Comment TheGamerSeal

15 Mar 2020

I got a score of 89.5% Deductive Reasoning. I went to the library instead of the docks, and there was one other thing in the third chapter. Despite understanding what a b---- obsessive compulsion is, I shot Brewer - mainly because, in that situation, I wouldn't want to risk the lives of those around me to save someone who put their lives in danger in the first place.

Dear Peter123,

I would like to work with your videogame and localise part of it into Spanish for my Masters' dissertation.
Would you be willing to collaborate with me and let me have access to the .aslx file? You would be doing me an immense favour.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

SPOILER

jphilapy,

If you follow the link "photo of Chloe" then you see in the photo she's wearing a spotted dress. Chloe's father tells you it's relatively new, it's her favorite, and she wears it all the time. That's why you notice the absence of a spotted dress in her closet.

Be sure to click all the links in the text so you don't miss any clues

Comment jphilapy

10 Feb 2016

I haven't played through this yet, but I did want to ask, how did I notice that Chloe's spotted dress was missing from the closet? At this point I might be the suspect if I am not related to the girl and yet I know the girl well enough to know what dresses are missing from her closet.

Review MattEmAngel

12 Sep 2015

Very well done. I caught a grammar and spelling mistake but they weren't immediately obvious. I like how Mr Burlap talks completely different, with terrible spelling and grammar. The story was an appropriate length, not too abrupt but not dragging, and I am impressed that failing deductions resulted in deaths that I couldn't undo. I prefer the score system from the first one, though, with a synopsis and grade.

A third story would make an excellent trilogy.

Amazing! You have brilliant writing, and a fantastically gripping story that kept me on the edge of my seat. Keep up the good work! I especially liked personifying the killer, you really get a look inside the man's head. There's always a certain sense of accomplishment I get when I finish your games. Good job :D

Review Kassyfox

16 Aug 2015

Very soon into the game (one question in, actually) I realise that this game has nothing to do with guessing/choosing your own path. It's definitely a Sherlock-like mystery puzzle, which you need careful observation and deduction skills to win...if you're a fan of deduction/Sherlock Holmes then you will loooooove this

Review MisterPibb316

02 May 2015

Boy, oh boy: a clever detective (though you get the opportunity to make some decisions for him that have both potential to reward your points and directly affect various pieces of the game's outcome), absolutely flawless descriptions that immerse you in an era long past (well, there are a couple small typos, but who cares?), and a variety of realistically-portrayed primary and secondary characters that draw you more and more into this game's world.

I've been playing tons of Quest games since I discovered the engine recently, in search of a 5-star game. I was looking for games in more of a command prompt style--especially since there are so many gamebooks out there that do not distinguish themselves--but the writing style of this one promotes it to king of both the mystery and gamebook genres. Give it a go!

06 Dec 2014

Just played the entire trilogy. Really well written and plotted out. I think this one did a better job getting you into the villain's head, though there were a couple more deductive leaps in this one that didn't feel quite as organic in #1. Still managed 89.5%, and saved all four girls, so I'm happy. Looking forward to more!

Review helvayne

19 Nov 2014

Absolutely fantastic- although fantastic simply does not do it justice. It is well written, expertly peppered with subtle hints to help you along, and of course the choices are ones that make you really think at times. I played both in a row, having just discovered this site, and I must say, if this is the quality people here churn out, well it seems like I'll be here for a while. I especially liked how you were rated for making the correct choice. It forced me to stop and think about it before choosing the one I believed to be most correct. With careful attention to every word, I was rewarded with a 100% on both chapters. A sense of accomplishment follows, even with a short story like this. Pictures are used sparingly, but they really help set the mood. All in all, a masterfully crafted mystery tale that leaves me itching for the next. 5/5 would play again.

Review Mister_Galaga

19 Nov 2014

This writer is highly intelligent, which makes the mystery all the more fun to solve. I'm definitely not quite smart enough to be playing this, but I enjoyed it all the same. *SPOILER* Switching to the murderer's perspective was a great idea, and paced perfectly with the rest of the story. *END SPOILER* I only managed to save two of the girls and I had a score of 73.7%. I hope there is more to come!

Review danaburgerrr

06 Nov 2014

that was really fun! I'm glad you made another one! I enjoyed this one better than the first: a serial killer is always more fun subject matter, I think. my only complaint is that I sometimes think you give us, the players, a bit too much academic credit when it comes to being able to deduce things. I always feel like I'm cheating by looking stuff up on Google. I know it says my vast knowledge comes from the Internet in the game description but even after researching some things I still didn't feel like I could really, truly make the connections you did, like with the Love of the Sea book and such. other than that the game is great! (SPOILER) I also like the sensitivity you gave to mental illness...that's very decent of you. :)

Review SivD1

03 Nov 2014

My total deductive reasoning score was 78.9%! I saved all the girls!

I very much enjoyed this sequel, possibly more so than the original. I enjoyed the fact that the antagonist was someone you could either despise or feel sympathetic towards. It seemed that this one was more thrilling than the last, and the twists a bit more complex (which is good!). I did miss the Dynamic Reasoning points, but the story was intense and had an epic conclusion, so that's forgiven.

Hope you make more in the near future!

Review karimcassimally

31 Oct 2014

I rated Part I with 5 stars, but I think Part II is even better. It's got the same humour, great writing, and very challenging deductions to make. It's just as absurdly logical.

I don't know why I preferred Part II, but both games are brilliant anyway.

Thanks a lot.
