Due to the nature of the game, it's quite a slow experience. One that tells you quite clearly from the get go to grab a pen and paper because you're going to need to take some notes. Just like a real investigation, you will be digging through documents and pinning them on a board to connect all the dots. It's quite enthralling actually.
The developer said to make the game as accessible as possible, they've put it on a hybrid purchase model. They're asking that if you can do so, to pay the full price of $10 but for anyone who cannot afford it they've put it on a minimum $1 purchase price to help others out. A nice touch I thought.
The Linux version is currently only available on itch.io which appears to work just fine.
