"Presenting an infinitely superior premise than that of your traditional brain teaser game, the use of a murder mystery theme to tie puzzles together appealed to me greatly. As if in keeping with the subject matter of the game itself, the release was shrouded in mystery as well. Beyond a slightly cheesy trailer, we had very little to go on for quite some time, and what was originally intended to release around August or September of 2011 didn't end up releasing until two months later. In spite of all this, I was really looking forward to seeing how Ubisoft's new puzzler would turn out. But the only real mystery here is just how Ubisoft managed to turn a promising concept into something so lackluster." -- Wiiloveit.com
