Episode 1 does exactly what it should, grabs you right from the get-go and leaves you desperate for more. It is a truly captivating story, gruesome and pretty heavy-duty, but captivating nonetheless.

Rival Games has kicked off The Detail with an unforgettable first episode, setting a very high bar for itself. With so many different story threads started, the challenge will be to weave those threads together into a rich and satisfying tapestry that involves the player. And this is all while seeking to recapture that explosive opening where the player is pushed to look within themselves without necessarily finding a “right” answer.

Its story and atmosphere are intriguing, if a little too reliant on dark tropes to get the gravity of the situation across, and the unique art style is eye-catching and memorable. Though the lack of consequences for choices is distracting in Episode One, there's a strong possibility that your failures, aggression, or passiveness may come back to haunt you in later entries to the game.

Aside from the short play time, it's rather engaging, and while it is way too early to say whether The Detail ends up being a great adventure, the first episode will certainly whet the appetites of those who love a good police procedural.
