What players say
An interesting plot, looks lovely, generally fun to play. It got repetitive and a couple of the characters really annoyed me.

Entertaining non-linear, but still a bit linear, choice game about detectives in the Alps. Love to play this with my mum who doesn't understand half of what's happening. (I love her)
Shame this isn't more popular. Writing is on par with 80 Days, which is a huge achievement and makes sense since Jon Ingold is the lead writer. There were moments when I gasped and shouted in excitement at my screen, completely taken by what was happening.
