Steam reviews

What players say

Short, free co-op puzzle game that most players enjoy for its communication-driven puzzles, though many find it too short and some puzzles and hints unclear.

Most reviewers recommend Unsolved Case and enjoy the core idea: two players see different clues and must share information to progress, which feels like a short escape room. Many praise the puzzles as challenging but fair, along with the comic-style art and the free price that makes them want the rest of the series. The most common complaint is length, as most finish it in about an hour and many wish for more content. Some players find hints unhelpful or the final puzzle hard to solve without them. A few mention that the code locks are easy to guess, and some report online connection problems or a stuck puzzle element. Reviews from the last year are similar to Steam's overall positive rating.
