Another day at the detective's work! And another great game with interesting plot. Although it has several flaws and bugs, mostly happening at the Lurr's farm:
1. There seems to be a problem with leaving the rooms fluently. When going out of the location with One-Eye after clicking on the exit Margh moves, then stands still and then after you click again the transition animation of the screen getting dark etc. finally happens;
2. When you try to leave the location near the stairs, where Acka is standing you click on the right part of the screen, Margh moves there and disappears, nothing happens, then you click again and just before the screen finally goes black you see a speaking bubble with the text "I don't think it is a good idea" or some other text like that.
3. A bit funny: when you return to the dead brain's cell Acka is still talking to you (as a ghost? can a zombie become a ghost?) despite she is no longer there. You can even click on the place she is standing while being invisible.
4. A minor issue: for some reason my score was not posted at the first time.
One remark: this new deaduction system - everybody noticed the pun? ;-) made this game a bit too easy. It shouldn't be too hard to combine all the clues in your brain, it hasn't been eaten ;-) Additionally I had a feeling that this game is easier than the previous ones.
By the way, this game gave me some thoughts:
1. If the zombies cannot die again then is the "murder" crime present in their Penal Code?
2. Would the "murderer" be charged of his crime because he murdered a brain or because he caused some financial losses to the Lurr's farm?
3. If the Zombie Society is "farming" people like people are doing it with animals then how would it be handled generally? Maybe we would come to a conclusion that zombies treat people in a more humanitarian way than we treat the animals?
Hmm...
Reviews for "ZS Dead Detective - Murder Case"
Thank you a lot for your review - and for your detailed feedback, it's very appreciated!
I've just uploaded a new version of the game that will fix all the bugs you mentioned.
As for your other questions:
1- Murder crime is present in their Penal Code because even if zombies cannot die, living humans can, and
2- killing a living without eating him is considered a big crime, as it's a waste of brains (a very rare resource nowadays)
3- Living humans are raised with the utmost care... until their brains have matured enough and can be extracted. All in all, I'd say that's very similiar to how we treat animals in "classic" farms.
Great game, like any of them!
Anyways, there are a few bugs (that's why it's just 4.5 stars):
the symbols about cham being or not being able to poison, as well as their mousover texts, are shown the wrong way round;
about Ghighi's money and reputation, it's the same just about the text;
about expired products or proved by authrity, instead of "Ghighi might have been using bad products for his pizzas", it shows the basic info for the deduction.
You can't jump to Acka's farm while inside the pizza palace.
Thank you, glad you liked the game!
And once again, thank you for your precious feedback - thanks to your help, I've fixed all the bugs you mentioned with a new version of the game I've just uploaded!
That was so impressive! You're always great with your graphics. To get the first medal, just uh, keep clicking. There's really a lot of detail put into this. It helps that it really is an interesting story. Zombies are always cool.
I just saw "Hotel Transylvania 3" so I'm in the mood. These are all really nice designs. I am eager to find out he died. I'm still not into point and click adventure games. I can still appreciate all the hard work and effort that went into making this.
Thank you a lot for your kind review, especially since this isn't your favourite genre! Means a lot!
This is amazing! Point-n-click games aren't my favorite genre, but when you really have to think (like here, to find out the killer.) it makes the experience so much better!
Thank you a lot, especially since you don't like the genre!
As always a fun and "brain teasing" game. I momentarily confused by the new deaduction system and don't recall encountering a tutorial, but I managed to figure it out. After playing all your previous games, it's nice to come back again into zombie society. I do feel that this particular case was somewhat simple and shorter than others however, I am looking forward to the full version! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your nice review!
You can find the tutorial by clicking on the red "help" button in the deaduction screen!
