Requiring the player to interact twice with an object without indicating it or anything changing, bad design. Forcing players to continue to their sure death and failrue without a chance to leave the final room, bad design. Having a badge on a game with multiple endings only giving it for one ending, bad choice on the one who decided on the badge. Having only one soluting counting as correct that introduces a character that hasn't even appeared before, bad design - you could argue that combining the clues make for a variety of possible valid solutions. Overall, an average experience made worse by the way the badge is granted (reaching the final room would have been a good alternative requirement). The story leaves open ends (what happened to the trapped detectives?). Characters are cute, references are funny, but the overall art style is very inconsistent and feels pasted together. Movement is nervewrackingly slow. Music is fine, though.

Either i did something wrong, or i can't find how to proceed, got 8 evidence, if i ask ghvnn he tells me to go to wooh, but he gives no more evidence, i tried asking EVERYONE about EVERY evidence, nothing else gets uncovered..

Will rate later, bc am only some minutes into the game - but facing those certainly recognizable (no spoiler) 'people' in front of the door already is enough to justify 5 stars XD

If you finish the game with the wrong conclusion and continue from the menu again, you start from just before the final room! You aren't stuck forever, I promise!

For those who think they are stuck because they can't change the "Lugroan didn't fail" deduction: you're missing something. Go back and check everything again, it's not a bug.

Also got to the ending without all the clues and now I have to reset the whole game.... Test your game before your publish it...

The game made no sense at all until i restarted and figured out that it skipped the introduction scene the first time :(

For the people stuck at "Lugroan didn't fail", click the third statue and a room will open. Talk to the guy inside and you'll be able to change that deduction. If you're stuck at the end without having done that, just finish it with an incorrect solution (e.g. Sighret) then load your game and go to the secret room.

Hints for anyone having trouble earning the badge: (1) There's more evidence to find than you'd think. Just because you've filled the left page doesn't mean you're done searching. (2) There are four suspects in all. If you only have two or three, keep searching! [MAJOR SPOILER WARNING FROM HERE ON] (3) If the end screen tells you you still need to find a certain character, make sure you find that character before entering the last room. Like, immediately before. (4) Thanks to a glitch, you can earn the badge when you have only three suspects. This is because the third suspect is actually correct, and the game registers you clicking on it, even though you don't yet have the evidence to support it. After clicking, reload the page to claim your badge.

I played through once and got the wrong ending because I hadn't found the top middle clue. I went back and found it, switched my deaductions to the right conclusion, and entered the final room. However, the bottommost clue still registers as "incorrect" from my last playthrough and now I can't get the right conclusion.

Unfortunately the weekest part of the series... not only gameplaywise (see other comments), also the story was not that original and rather short.
Hope the next one will be better again.

I replayed the game 3 times but i cant finish it - every time i get 'Lugoran didn't fail ...' as last hint which i can't change and thus can not complete the game. I tried it on Firefox and Chrome just to be sure the browser isn't the problem. It would be nice if you could fix this

Got stuck in the last room because I missed a piece of evidence. There's no way to finish the game that way, and you can't go back through dialogue options. Refreshing the game and clicking continue puts me back into the final room. The evidence that I was missing is the one in the first row, 2nd piece of evidence.

I always enjoy your games but i had a bit more trouble with this one. I had most of the clues right but did not find him trapped so it took me like 4 trys to finally finish the game. Keep up the good work.

Either I'm not so super clever or concluding the right things is pretty random. However, I really dislike getting thrown into an unpredictable one-way end-scene. Of course I can reload and then collect the missing clues, but it's not the same. It feels like having lost the game.

Buggy and insipid. These games are exercises in random combinatorics and have been going downhill for a long time. There's no good reason to prefer one "interpretation" over another. It's fiction and any direction *could* produce an entertaining conclusion, but hunting for the right one is dull.

If you're stuck on the wrong conclusion at the end (perhaps about Lugroan not finding the treasure?) you might be missing another clue...

I'm a bit stuck. I've gotten 8 pieces of evidence and made 4 deductions, but no one is responding to any of my clues. When I ask for a hint it says to talk to Poiroar, but he doesn't provide any new evidence for any of my evidence. I've even tried using the invitation and gun and every person/object. Am I missing something?

Seems to be stuck loading for me. Already beat the game; am coming back to claim the badge. Trying in an incognito tab loads fine but needs me to do the whole thing over again, and avoiding that would be preferred.

Why everytime you guys implement badges for these games, you delete our savegames? Now I have to complete it again just to get a badge.

Yeah, I can't take/look at the second riddle. I've figured out the first and I can see the riddle attached to the ****** but there's no option to click on it. I get "I'd better not touch it anymore" and can't read the riddle.

You might need to test your games a bit more? It sounds like there's been 3-4 different errors that keep people from finishing the game, which is pretty bad :| I've currently got the one where I can't edit the bottom conclusion as mentioned by others below me.

There is a critical bug. In final room decuction "Lugroan didn't fail" appears automatically and can't be changed, so I cannot select right answer, as this deduction contradicts it and Margh says "I don't have enough deductions"(((

Also, I got the Kong achievement BEFORE I correctly deduced it was someone disguised as poiror. I got it when I accused poiror himself, got a score of 17/27, and then the achievement popped.

To LU_MUJA (maybe @LU_MUJA ?), there seems a way of locking yourself out of finishing the game. If you do not fiddle with the TV twice, you can do everything else correctly and end up with 11 clues. This means that when you go to talk with Sighret in the final room, you have no way of finishing your deduction, and no way of going back, and the only way is to restart the game. And it is NOT obvious that you need to fiddle with the TV twice, since the secret door in the main room opens after you get the clue from the TV.
May I suggest moving the clue to inside the new trapdoor? That way, the first turn of the TV opens the empty trapdoor, and inspecting the trapdoor gives the final riddle as well as opens the main room secret door?

I found a path where it is possible to never ask Wooh about the United Detective Association, and it is impossible to get the piece of evidence that it never existed. Even trying to restart before the final encounter, you can't ask anyone about the evidence, so you have to restart. The weird part is that the deduction still shows up, and still allows you to make decisions, but the correct answer is not an option.

I think I encountered a few bugs, the simplest of which is the magnifying glass showing an unclickable spot after Sighret leaves.

Another masterpiece. Let me know when the badge for it comes out. I look forward to the next installment. (PS: sorry if my grammatical corrections were a bit rude of me.)

After the room with the three statues, it's possible to follow sighret into the room with the empty coffin and be forced to draw the wrong conclusion due to a lack of clues.

The painting behind Wooh is "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," right? Nice touch. Mt. Fuji is in the background of the real thing, though, not the foreground.
