Zeb Larson, GIZORAMA - "The Detail is a story-driven adventure game akin to The Walking Dead. Borrowing thematic inspiration from The Wire and graphical inspiration from a variety of graphic novels and comic books, the game places you in the role of a bitter police detective and an ex-con turned state’s witness working to unravel a series of increasingly violent gangland killings. While the first episode is short, the moral decisions that must be made are appropriately difficult and the series is off to a good start."
COG writes - The Detail is a story driven and highly stylized game from small Finnish studio, Rival Games. A great first effort for the indie developer.
The Detail is an episodic point-and-click narrative game developed by Rival Games Ltd. A layered, ominous noir detective tone helps to immerse the player in both the roles of the ‘good, the ‘bad, and the moral grey that exists in a city where cases matter, clearance rates matter, and on a good day even justice matters.
Dominic Sheard: "What you have here is two thirds of a good show that has been axed by the television network, leaving the studio to sort itself out, bringing an end to the season early, except what was offered for a closure was a cop-out, robbing The Detail of a truly satisfying ending that it deserves."
