Is this an ordinary murder case, or something more sinister?

First off, let me say that I'm only about 1/2 way through the purchased game (no demo). This series is consistently well done and this game is no exception. I'm very picky about graphics and VOs and I have no complaints here. The graphics are washed out a bit but that fits with the 50s retro game theme. (I usually review game appearance as far too many BFG developers are taking way too many shortcuts these days in my opinion.) The developer does a good job of making you think about what to do next, which keeps things more challenging. I won't speak to the plot as others do that better than me, but I definitely recommend the game....especially if you like 50s,noir, or retro themes.
I recommend this game!

I like the majority of the MOTW games but this one just isn't doing it for me. I'm about 1/2 way through the game and I may not finish it. It's just plain old boring. It also seems that Eipix has dropped their graphics quality even more. How much effort and game size increase could it possibly take to improve the quality of their graphics? They ruin every game with the fuzzy graphics.
I don't recommend this game.

The music and setting (NOLA) made the 1st two games in this series two of my all-time favorites. While I appreciate the Cuban flavor of this game (and it's timing with current events in Cuba), neither the music or the overall game engagement was even close to the first two. I actually started getting bored with it about 1/3 of the way through. The bonus game was somewhat silly. I really hope the series re-establishes its footing in the next installment.
I recommend this game!

I should have listened to the reviews. I bought this during a good sale but I have to say even that was far too much to pay. It's very rare for me to stop a game in less than 5 mins and delete it from my PC but I did with this one. It was just plain bad from the very start of the game. The wolf powers were ridiculous and the "puzzles" were something a two year old could do.
I don't recommend this game.

Eipix for the most part comes up with fairly good story lines for their games and this game was no exception. I just don't understand why they continue to have such blurred graphics in all of their games. No other developer on BFG seems to have this issue. It looks like they are using some kind of compression before publishing the games. At any rate, this is such a deal killer for me that I think this is my last purchase of their games. CEs, especially, should have much better graphics than this.
I don't recommend this game.

This was overall a pretty good games. Many of the puzzles were a challenge. My biggest gripe is that the overall graphics were on the "cheesy" side and definitely looked like drawings.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through this game and I have to say that this is the worst EG game I've ever played. The graphics quality are only a fraction of what they once were (and EG used to be THE BEST) Those days seem to be over. Beyond that, this game is just weird. The premise is OK but the execution is disjointed and quirky and at times ridiculous. This is one purchase that I regret.

My hat is off to the developers for a great game. Graphics and voiceovers were very well done. I did subtract one star because puzzles could have been more challenging, but I still recommend the game!

I don't like to give extremely negative reviews but I find very little good to say about this game. The game play and the graphics were just very badly done. I only regret that I bought it before trialing it. I could only bear to play about 30 minutes of it before I uninstalled it. I won't be buying another in this series.
I don't recommend this game.

Elephant Games is my favorite developer and this is a good series. However, I thought the puzzles were very poorly done and had no challenge. Also, puzzle graphics were just plain BAD. The overall game color scheme was very drab and lacked the "brightness" of prior games in this series. Much of the gameplay scenes seemed much "flatter" and less 3D than earlier installments. EG can do much better than this!
I recommend this game!
