"Card Detective combines two different concepts in an innovative way. Hazel Gong is the very model of an intrepid reporter, although the story she’s chasing is a bit mundane. And it’s fun to guide her as she chases the truth, either by asking direct questions or by carefully analyzing a subject. The card mechanics work well and there’s enough variety and space to craft decks and strategies. Some extra hints about how to best balance direct approaches and analysis would have been great to keep newcomers to the genre engaged. The title’s biggest weakness is the relatively mundane story and some difficulty spikes. Card Detective shows how the card-battler genre can evolve when combined with new approaches and offers complex card puzzles to solve."

About
Detective Clean casts you as a sharp but unorthodox investigator solving bizarre cases in the fictional city of Mupuqolis. Played through point-and-click interactions, the game blends straightforward mystery-solving with dry humor and absurd twists. Each case involves gathering clues, interrogating witnesses, and piecing together evidence to crack the mystery. The minimalist pixel art and deadpan dialogue create a quirky atmosphere that feels both retro and oddly modern. This 2010 indie title has earned praise for its clever writing and unexpected turns, with 76% of 13,000 user ratings on Steam calling it positive. What sets it apart is the way simple mechanics serve a story full of eccentric characters and offbeat scenarios. At just a few hours long, it’s a quick but satisfying puzzle experience that leans into its eccentricities rather than shying away. Fans of increpare’s other work like A Short Hike might recognize the developer’s signature blend of charm and cheeky irreverence.
