The culprit got described as looking muscular...not a single one of them looks like they even excercise! The eye-witness isn't very helpful and the clues don't match with the guy you're looking for. I looked at the only one person who had the exactly same beard like one of the clues and I got the wrong person! What the heck!

Did you read the tutorial? Visual clues vary in dependency as outlined by the coloured icon.
This is super clever :D You have to ask as little questions as you can so you still can ask questions at level two. My high score is 3 cases in a row.... this is tough but fun! Is there any way we could get the main title music? XD For some reason I want it.
I like the game, but there's some things i can't figure out, some guilty guys have round face when the clue says plate-shaped face, same thing when a normal body of the guilty come out when the clue says well round or gym shaped body.
This is a fantastic game! I am just having trouble getting the Random Encounters ones. How many unique Wrinkles are there?
Chaz responds:
There are 7 unique Winkles in the game :) If it helps, here's an image of them all: http://imgur.com/KFH5esO
Phew... 960... it took 960 traits reveled until I finally got the 'Amateur Psychologist' medal. What was that last trait that wouldn't show itself? 'Hypocrite'. Truly ironic as I found that a few of these clues misleading, but makes perfect sense if one stops to think about them.
Take for example, the witness info that said... 'Thinks it's a good time to start a family' ...I tend to think that mid 20s is the appropriate time since it happened with my parents, uncles, and grandparents. The game appears to be more inclined to believe that around 40 is the right age. Being someone who's 32, the thought of a family hasn't crossed my mind. And while I may be an autistic pessimist with self-doubts that tends to be haunted by chronic depression (you learn to live off the madness), I might change that in another 5 years or so... I hope.
My point is that this game isn't so much of you making sense of the clues, but rather using the game's sense of making out the clues. Game says that the head is a football, you mean English's round ball while I think American's oval pigskin. Game says that their body doesn't work like it used to, you mean that they use a cane while I think they're 80. It's almost like you're trying to learn another language in order to master the game.
The presentation is charming, the music fits the situation, the voices are enjoyable until you hear them 3 dozen times, but things really get dangerous with the gameplay as you're trying to keep track of Winkles and the meaning of the clues. Not so much of a detective game rather than a game of 'Guess Who?', and you'll likely find yourself frustrated as you try to learn what the clues are directing at, but I found myself enjoying it.
Giving it 5 stars seems a little out of place for something that made me so frustrated for nearly revealing a thousand trait for a simple 10 point medal.
What can I say? I'm a hypocrite, it's not the right word... but it's not wrong.
