French Crime: Detective game Reviews

Great game overall. If you are a fan of the genre you will definitely enjoy this game. Solid acting, intreguing stories, and well directed.

It's fun, good stories, well documented and good acting. Solutions are pretty arbitrary, you are limited in your selection of evidence to submit and the "correct" selections are debatable in some cases. It's a good blend of mystery, fmv, good use of a variety of means to bring clues to light. Very well done, would buy a sequel

Very interesting game and nothing i have seen before in this kind of genre. As a fan of detective games this game throws so much at you and working out the clues is all based on deduction. The games offers half a dozen cases some more complex than others ranging from an hour to 3 hours per case depending on how you play through. The graphics and ui are great using real life photos and locations to go through your crime scenes and evidence with a lovely ui and menu options to navigate around. Altogether bringing a new style of detective game to engage . Look forward to more like this from the devs

Highly recommend this one. Only downside is there is only 6 crimes to solve and after the 1st one your hooked, I'd love to see more added to it because the gameplay is amazing. I've done a couple alone and several in a team with friends and it's user friendly and fun!

I have played through a few cases, and honestly, it's straightforward. Yeah, you have to find some evidence and stuff, but you basically cannot fail the game. Most of the time, there is/are 1 or 2 suspects, and it's then uncomplicated to find the correct one. Maybe it's because I have been playing easy cases. A downside is that the Videos are all in french and subtitled in English. It would have been nice to have the option to listen to an English version. (Less reading) However, the game is nicely done, and content can easily be added.

It is a good game for the fans of the genre. I just made up an email for the game, you don't need to share your real one

A must-play for anyone who likes detective games and solving crimes. The FMV format really adds to the realism of the experience and features surprisingly good performances (compared to typical FMV games) from all involved. BTW the videos are in French with English subtitles. The bulk of the game seems to be almost entirely hosted online through Youtube vids, so it barely takes up a blip on your hard drive. The idea of having to sign up and create a character is a little different for this type of game, but it's cool seeing how your scores compare against others. I can only hope there will be more cases added in the future, whether through DLC or a sequel. Or both!

I love detective games, solving crimes and FMV, so I was pretty much sold on this game from the get go. I thought it was clever, funny, and well written and the acting was very well done. The gameplay “seems” simple enough, but though I could guess the culprit/motives, etc., getting all of the correct evidence and answering all the questions throughout the game could get tricky! The interface was simple to use and all the evidence was there to review and tag for later. There is an option to build a character, but since I am not going to create a Snapchat account, I skipped all that and it didn’t keep me from playing or affect my gameplay at all. None of that is necessary. I really had a lot of fun playing and thought both the game quality and length made this game well worth the price. I was sorry when it was done and there were no more cases to solve. I’d be happy to see more PCI cases in the future!

Really interesting concept and very well executed. PCI casts you as an armchair detective. The French police are asking for assistance with some of their cases. You must create an actual account in order to play online as a team or by yourself and accrue points after finishing up cases. There are 6 cases total ranging from around 30 minutes to 4 hours. The content is VERY dark in some cases and deals with some heavy realistic topics (I'll list some TW's at the end of this). While I felt uncomfortable during playing I was so hooked. The cases are riveting and the quizzes at the end really engage you actively with the material. The actors/actresses do a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life (even the worst ones) and not even making you realize they're acting. There is a mixture of text and FMV. A couple things could have been improved. There is no sound in the background through most of the game. You may want to have an ambient soundtrack in the background. I did that during my stream. The videos are all on Youtube so make sure you have a decent internet connection to connect to them. This could cause a problem in the future with the videos being accessible. Overall while the game is heavy if you like true crime/detective stories and FMV it's worth a shot. This game is very realistic to true crime so it features a lot of sensitive subject matter that may not be suitable or comfortable for everyone. Here is a sample of some TW's featured in the game: fatphobia, suicide, murder, blood, sexual content

The game is fun, similar to a lost phone type of game. The issue is that you are forced to make an account and give them your email to be able to play more than halfway through the first case. I wouldn't have spent money on this game had I known this was required to play,
