Whiterabbit-uk, Thank you for your continued efforts to make our community safe. As you already saw on Steam I had to remove inappropriate comments on my Steam profile as I did not log in for a long time. I don't know why people would leave negative comments on anything to be honest. I hope you're having a great weekend. It's time to get ready to go to Dia De Los Muertos in Oakland California where San Francisco from there is not far if you drive down Highway 80.

A Dragnet style puzzle where you are exposed to the mundane aspects of police work, though this isn't necessarily a drawback. But this will mainly appeal to folks who like that kind of meticulous detail work, which, if you like match 3 for example, again, isn't a big turnoff. The bad aspect: this sort of thing gets repetitive, as you would expect, so, liking games like match 3 is kind of required for this not to grind on you. Of course, many HOGs also have that aspect, so, that's still not disqualifying. But, since your chasing around a serial killer by mainly examining the bodies afterward, then testing blood, looking up fingerprints, etc. it's not keeping me on the edge of my seat after 2 investigations.
The one criticism that practically every critique I've read mentioned is the mostly small items that your searching for. I didn't find most of them miniscule, but a couple were, and most were not particularly large. Eventually, I understood the complaints as I found myself unconsciously squinting a bit. If you struggle with games because of eyesight, pass this by. You won't enjoy it. Most of the items fit the scenes they're found in, though there's 1 incongruous item that keeps appearing over and over. Not sure if it's a clue or a joke. Anyway, it's not a problem.
Bottom line: the realism here is admirable. Will it be entertaining after 3 hours or so, not sure. For those wanting a different challenge every scene, well, this may not be your cup of tea, but few HOGS are really good at this, though some come close. And, again, for people with eyesight problems, your probably going to throw up your hands after awhile.
Thanks, GGOTD, MPC, Whiterabbit and the community, including Sailorbear. Keep up the good work, Jason!

Works fine with Win 11... except for a few puzzles... But then you can click on "SOLVE" and move forward

This may not be relevant to many here but I wanted to contribute anyway in case it helps someone here and also that perhaps future developers might see this and take it into consideration.
I have this game from a previous giveaway and just opened it to recall why I hadn't continued playing it. I preface this by saying I have one very bad eye so this issue may be unique to me.
The font used for the list of items to find is ridiculously tiny and very difficult to read. Additionally, the graphics in the HOG pictures are dull making the things to find very difficult to see. I am all for challenging game play but a challenge to see is another thing.
Because of these things, I found the game much more irritating than fun and didn't continue playing.
Despite that, I still want to say say thank you to all involved for this offer. Have a happy and safe Halloween everybody!

Todays game is based on a popular novel which spanned quite a few books. I think 14 of them to be exact. There were multiple women with different plots in the books where each one of them explored their personal issues in life while investigating crime. I have not read them personally but they do look interesting from reviews I've read at Amazon and other sites.
That being said this game is brilliantly done in portraying the city of San Francisco which also happens to be the city portrayed in the books. I was pleasantly shown the opening screen with relaxing music and a gorgeous picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. I happen to be from the SF Bay Area so I like to see local things :)
The gameplay is a little different than traditional hidden object games you have two different check lists on the left hand side of the screen. Investigational clues and also additional hidden objects helping to the complete the levels. If you get stuck somewhere you can click on the hint button at the top left.
There are also other little puzzles to solve but if you find you can't solve one there seems to be a skip button at the top although it did nothing initially for me with the crab in the holes and the character said it was holding something.
The scenes are well done in my opinion many of them are photo realistic I especially liked the scene of the police office it looked like the developers put effort into making the objects and scenery realistic given the small file size this hidden object game is.
A word of warning about today's game. Since this game is based off of the books there may be mature themes for kids that may not be suitable for them to play. They include Mild Sexual Themes and so forth. You can see the descriptors on the screen in the opening screens. As this game was rated by the ESRB it also seen a retail release as well as it's usually a requirement for retailers to carry games in stores.
Overall, it's a very pleasant game to play and does a good job of portraying the city of San Francisco and a popular book franchise. On a side note - I do love another kind of murder mystery show on the lighter side called Monk which airs on different channels on cable and even over the air.

sailorbear510 aka Jason,
Thanks for your feedback J. Those trolls must have pretty sad lives if all they can do is post negative comments on people's profiles and comments.

"Those trolls must have pretty sad lives..."
The day Musk took over Twitter thousands of users posted stuff guaranteed to get them banned previously, just to see how far they could go, testing the waters. There was over a 500% increase in racial slurs for example. The contractors moderating social media have reportedly in some cases developed PTSD (!). This is the world we live in.

mike,
Crazy, but true. How many of those trolls would say the same face to face, very few I bet?

I don't want to get too far into politics and off topic, but scores of people told Musk this is exactly what would happen. He's talking about forming content moderation groups on the very 1st day after seeing what he was told over and over again he would see. What was already being seen ALL OVER Twitter BEFORE he decided to "liberate it". But what do the rest of us know? WE'RE not geniuses. (Or is it just that we're not rich enough to be massively self-indulgent. shakes head)
