Reviews
Chronicles of Crime 1900 (Just Push Start): “Another solid entry in the crime investigation series. If players don’t mind the amount the app is used, it creates an immersive story with locations literally brought to VR life. The introduction of puzzle cards is a positive step forward for the series, as they bring a slight break from the app and offer unique challenges for players to puzzle their way through.”
