What Makes a Good Detective Game Online?
A great detective game doesn't hand you the answer. It gives you the scene, the statements, the contradictions, and lets you choose when to push, when to wait, and when to commit to an accusation. The best online detective games track every interrogation choice and bend the ending around your deductions.
On Gameer, you'll find cases you can play in a lunch break and cases you'll want to replay because you missed the contradiction the first time. Think LA Noire or Sherlock Holmes, compressed into instant browser sessions.
