“Less a detective game and more a mildly interactive movie, it shows promise but is definitely flawed in execution. Worth it on a discount for true crime fans, but limited appeal for others.”

Reviews

“The subtleties and nuances of deceit and/or grief are played out well by both suspects and adds a layer of gameplay we weren’t expecting... Developer Think Ten Media Group did a great job casting for this title, and that really is the key to success for any FMV title. The actors are believable and the story is well written.”
8/10 – Terminal Gamer

“Case Files: The Death of Paulette Williams provides a realistic look into the interview room during a police investigation.”
8/10 – CGNENT

“Case Files is a must-play for armchair detectives!... it’s on the same level so far with the heavier hitters like Her Story.”
