Bela Kovacs and the Trail of Blood is an involving little flash mystery puzzler, mostly finding items and clues, but with more variety than the general escape-the-room game and nice atmospherics.
Okay, this is rad and HORRIBLY ADDICTING. But the font is so tiny omg why.

And way too quick. In and out in 15 minutes.

Yeah, I like a good supernatural noir, so I was sad there wasn't more to this one.

It looks like they're going to do more, especially if he gets the kickstarter money.

That was fun. Agreed that it went by too quickly though.

I play a lot of these little adventure games, and the crime scenes really made this one stand out from the pack. Loved the ghost images. Thanks!

I don't usually play games like this, but I liked the mechanics of it — I tend to get bored before I lose with a lot of escape the room or find the difference games, the games I think tend to use this photorealistic background.
It also had a nice sense of art direction, especially because the images looked like they were shot for the project, not stock. The location was really well shot.
It'd be interesting to see this game as a serial project (or one in this mode, with the parallax and fish eye plus narrative). I think a longer game could have gotten repetitive too, as one of the things that worked well was the integration of a bunch of different puzzle types into it.
But like I said, I don't usually play games like this, so if anyone has any other really fun ones this reminds them of, I'd like to see them.
