Finished it. Unfortunate ending but it was worth it in the end.

Started my playthrough of Murder by Numbers on my YouTube channel. So far a great game! If you like background noise, this is a great sort of video for that 👀

Fun game, I hope it gets a sequel. It's a mix of picross (nonograms) and the investigation sections of Ace Attorney. I didn't like the writing and the pacing really slow.<spoiler>Also accusing everyone and being wrong almost every time didn't really carry the weight I felt that it should. I also found it weird that new evidence would appear despite the area not changing at all since the last time I would check for evidence.</spoiler>I wasn't a big fan of the characters for the most part, but I had a strange sense of attachment when everything was over, the same kind of feeling of comfort when you see the credits roll in Ace Attorney and you see what the cast has been up to after the game ends. It was frustrating seeing how incompetent everyone was though. At a certain point, I felt picross fatigue where the puzzles went from being a highlight of my experience to an absolute slog. I hit a point where I wanted the game to be over and to just continue with the story, but I would be hit with non-stop puzzles. I'm also upset because I got a S rank in all cases except the 3rd one because there are missable puzzles. That being said, I did really appreciate the difficulty options and the hint system they added.

This game was a pleasant surprise with it's awesome storytelling, beautiful art and character design and intriguing puzzles. The story kept you on your toes with different plot points, some coming out of nowhere and some more easily figurable and the art was so fun to look at, the character designs and the backgrounds had so much details in them that I could have stared at them just on their own! The puzzles were something called Nonograms, also known as Paint by Numbers or Picross, which were something I had never tried, but I really enjoyed them. They proved challenge at certain points but they were mostly quite easy to figure out, just the kind of puzzles I like!
