A Case of Distrust is a really fun adventure game/visual novel. It has a solid, if telegraphed, mystery and a unique cast of characters. It succeeds in capturing Roaring Twenties San Francisco and the evolving social mores of the interwar period. Its style is captivating, and positively contributes to gameplay. This is a strong recommendation for anyone who loves a good murder mystery.

What time I had with it was enjoyable, but I was left wanting more. As far as problems a game can have, that’s a relatively minor one. ~Final Score: 8/10~ Review copy provided by Serenity Forge for PC.
