The Detail is said to be a classic 2D point-and-click adventure with a noir theme inspired by TV crime drama series like The Wire, an art style that borrows heavily from graphic novels like The Watchmen, and focused on deep, story-driven gameplay similar to Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead, where players’ choices carry consequences that alter the course of the narrative."
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."
