A Case of Distrust

March 18, 2023 - Reading time: ~1 minute - Category: game library project

A Case of Distrust is a narrative adventure/interactive fiction game set in 1920's San Francisco where you play as a private investigator.

It takes just a few hours to complete. You move back and forth through various locations, interrogating sketchy characters and gathering evidence to crack the case. Graphics are extremely minimalist, but not unappealing, and the music fits right in with the setting. There are some nods to modern social issues, which I generally dislike in games as it can feel hamfisted, but here I could take it or leave it.

Worth an afternoon's play for fans of this type of game.

Verdict: Finished

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, history, and anything else I find interesting.

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
