Oh my, God. I was only 11 years old when this came out and back when I first played it. I remember seeing it on Newgrounds front page back in the day. I cannot believe I found this game after all these years. I never thought I would see it again! I never got to beat it as a child but now I am finally going to finish it! (:
Reviews for "The Dead Case"
This game is great. It's well-written and full of interesting tidbits. I like the computer and attention to detail being rewarded. The password system is also nice, as opposed to replaying the whole game for different endings. I had some trouble at first with the UI and the art style, but it grew on me pretty quickly once I understood the basics. I noticed that a lot of environments aren't purposeful, which is nice for exploring for a short while, but a lot of it never had any use and gets a little annoying when stuck. There's also a possibility to put candles around before knowing their purpose (something I did), and seeing Dana before being told to. Going back to the library was always annoying as well, especially to tell me things I've already been doing just to change the other ghosts' dialogue.
awesome game
glad its still here.
I love the depth of stories. So many rabbit holes to go down. And all the environments are so detailed, they really feel lived in.
Played this game when it first came out, back when newgrounds was still a thing. 14 years later and still enjoying it.
