Reviews

“The writing was the highlight of Arcane Investigations for me. I frequently smiled and even chuckled out loud to myself. Presenting clues and investigating a suspect’s room elicited playful conversations. The words are well augmented by well-timed music cues that got me appropriately amped, and charming artwork that makes the landscapes and characters feel alive.”
8.9/10 – The Punished Backlog

“Arcane Investigations is a short burst of cozy gaming, perfect for rainy Spring days. As I said, I wouldn’t mind playing more in the same world. You might agree after playing Arcane Investigations”
Ladies Gamers

“...It gave me the same chills I feel when I’m playing a Phoenix Wright case for the first time – and that’s a pretty impressive feat.”
