Life & Crimes

About

You’re a detective in 1979 London investigating a bank heist that went eerily smooth. A vault was emptied of 13.8 million pounds worth of gold and jewels, and no one’s been caught. Your job is to link suspects to their real names and disguises by digging through files, news clippings, and audio recordings. The game leans into methodical research, forcing you to cross-reference clues and piece together identities. It’s a cerebral puzzle wrapped in a cold case, with the thrill of unearthing hidden connections. Players note the interface feels like a retro detective’s notebook, with tactile flipping through paper records and static-heavy tapes. While some call it slow-paced, 76% of recent reviews on Steam are positive, praising the satisfaction of cracking each link. It’s a niche pick for those who enjoy logic puzzles over action, with an average score of 82/100 from aggregation sites. The real mystery is why more games don’t make you feel like a private eye with a photocopier and a phone book.
