~FOLLOW US AROUND, WHY DON'T YOU~

Seeing this after clicking on it at the end of the hostage negotiator video, the pear joke is so much funnier

4:06 I always appreciate a good time callout

Can't wait to find out which of the 3 SUSD sound effects this review uses.

It took a little bit, as it naturally would for anyone, but I feel that Tom is now a reviewer here that feels as good at this as, and as shut-up-and-sit-down as, Matt and Quinn’s. Great to see!

I love Tom's videos, he's keeping the surreal alive with SU&SD afaik.

[TheBronchitus]

Each video from Tom gets somehow better, weird editing, odd creative choices, love the time callout! Keep doing that Tom! Looking forward to what you do at the next!

The first thing I thought of when I saw the map was a PC game called Hidden Folks. In that, each level has multiple people/items to find, each with a clue where to find it, but the maps have some interactivity. For example, clicking on a door will open it reveal what's behind it. Others will animate things and may reveal something previously hidden. Admittedly, some of the levels are kinda small but some are absolutely huge and will require analyzing what's going on in a particular part to help figure out which hidden person/item will be located there. It's also not that expensive and is usually on sale during Steam events.

A kids version of this would be amazing. Thanks for the reference image (my kids are probably too young to be getting into that stuff, so very useful)

Truly love this game. Made it a bit less easy by only reading the opening card and try to figure out what happened from there on, ignoring the other investigation cards. Really recommending this aproach if you want to be a true cartoon Sherlock!

[Fudgeemonkee]

This made me both 'HNF' and 'HNGHA', how dare you!

Great review as always. Thanks for the Quick Guide 4 the Kids. As a retailer this is really good information to have.

During the early description I was thinking it would be something I could give my (very smart advanced) 5 yr old niece to play with her parents. But it sounds like there's too much murder. A truly family friendly version where the crimes are like taking the hat or trying to find the missing dog would be awesome. Something that parents & kids could sit down and figure out together....and then the kid could color in the characters of that mystery.

Does anybody remember the Black Hand Gang books? They were similar to this, where you had a page of story and on the adjacent page you had a busy picture that you had to solve the crimes. Great books.

Love the casual watch flex, always nice to show off an expensive watch

[AhJong]

Great stuff, the NPI review for this was intriguing and when you guys both cover a video that’s a great indication. Thanks for bringing up the suitability for kids - important point in this sort of game 🙂

[mattormel]

I want to watch a series of videos of Tom solving and describing each scenario.

[judiethenerdshelves]

I solved 3 cases with my 5 and 8 years old, and to be honest, they had most fun looking through the huge map, and talked about what they saw. 😆❤

[denycast]

the first ten seconds and I am loving this video. The game is really good, even though it has some flaws... Like you are not true investigating together, but it is really fun. My prediction is that this game gets the "Spiel des Jahres"- Award, even though it is not that good for children... (and the Warning thing I heard too)

Tom with the casual AAL flex in the BG.

It's Wally in the UK instead of Waldo? Learned something today.
