A tropical vacation turns into a crime scene when social media influencer Josh Mendoza is discovered dead near the pool of Bali’s Island Breeze Resort in May 2024. The circumstances are unclear—accident or murder? Players analyze 28 pieces of evidence, including crime scene photos, an autopsy report, police transcripts, and suspect profiles to solve the case.
The game includes a digital component where players access a simulated version of Josh’s smartphone, reviewing messages, social media posts, photos, call logs, and personal notes. Some clues are only available online, adding depth to the investigation.
Designed for 1 or more players, it can be played solo, as a two-player experience, or as a group activity for game nights. The case is fully replayable, allowing different players to attempt solving the mystery. Suitable for fans of detective games and true crime puzzles.
Things to Keep in MindA frequent criticism is that the game is too easy and short, often featuring a plot or motive that lacks coherence. Additionally, some players expressed dissatisfaction with unclear clues, a lack of engaging role-play, or the use of low-quality generative AI for visuals, which negatively impacted the overall experience and perceived value. Why You'll Like ItThe game is generally well-organized with clear gameplay, making it an accessible introduction for individuals new to murder mystery games, and some players found the included materials to be of decent quality.
