Not possible to move to SD card
A little more context as to why certain buildings are randomly red or even some logic behind the clue placement. At the moment it's "go to as many places as you can as quickly as possible and spam for clues and then deduce from what you have as to who's the murderer"
I've spent a couple of hours with this now and I really can't see where the 5 star reviews are coming from. Here's just a few of my issues: There doesn't seem to be any way of determining what is and isn't relevant evidence. There's no way of keeping track of who you've spoken to our where they were. You visit 'crime scenes' where everyone seems to be acting the same as they do everywhere else. To me; this is barely a game. Update: Thanks to the developer for replying to my comment, I have spent some more time with the game and still feel like it could be so much more. For instance, when I have two people with the same job there doesn't seem to be any way to eliminate the incorrect one from my suspects list. Also, with the game already having a time limit why do we need the hunger mechanic? It's an unnecessary distraction. I've increased my score to 2 stars as I've now managed to get through a few games with some degree of success but I really think this game could be improved markedly with just a little more tweaking.
Just needs a better and more in depth tutorial or a guided initial case that the game helps us with and tells us what we need to do and how to do it.
This game is awesome! Very atmospheric! The tutorial is a little vague but apart from that the game is very fun.
It seems a little to hard to find the killer and takes way to much time. Maybe add a easy difficulty with less people.
