The investigative gameplay is really great here — some of the best I’ve seen in the genre. You interview suspects and witnesses, collect physical evidence, and use tools like a magnifying glass to uncover footprints. The mysteries you’re tasked with solving get progressively more complex with puzzle mini-games thrown into the mix when you need to pick a lock or repair something. Unlike those in MySims Kingdom, these puzzle games have a decent amount of challenge because the game doesn’t tell you how to solve them, which is a big improvement.
