"ok the motel case genuinely got me. I was so sure it was the boyfriend until I ran the IP trace on the front desk PC and everything clicked. the keycard logs in the terminal were right there the whole time and I missed it for like an hour

"Cool concept but I got completely stuck on the cargo manifests. Spent like 2 hours not knowing what to do with the gate logs. Eventually figured out HexScope but by then I was already frustrated. Needs some kind of hint system imo

"the steganography on the mirror photo is INSANE. had to invert the image and adjust contrast to catch the badge reflection. its 2am on a tuesday and im enhancing pixel reflections in a hotel mirror like a lunatic. 10/10

"Interface looks incredible but theres a learning curve for sure. took me a while to figure out I had to drag evidence INTO the tools. my partner tried it and gave up after 20 min. once it clicks tho its really satisfying

"Decent puzzles overall. The base64 decryption was straightforward but figuring out what to do with the frequency isolation on the voicemail took me a while. Had to look up hints twice. Good foundation, curious where this goes

"Some of the tool solutions feel like you need to read the devs mind. I like hard puzzles but theres a difference between clever and just obscure. The suspect board is cool tho, tracking means motive opportunity felt very procedural
