nothing stopping you from moving from one puzzle to the other until they're

one puzzle to the other until they're

one puzzle to the other until they're all completed. And I love the control it

all completed. And I love the control it

not figuring out where I can easily solve an area. But there's just so much
1:04
solve an area. But there's just so much

solve an area. But there's just so much to look at and numbers to figure out
1:05
to look at and numbers to figure out
1:05
to look at and numbers to figure out that it does sometimes become too
1:07
that it does sometimes become too
1:07
that it does sometimes become too confusing and you get lost and worrying
1:09
confusing and you get lost and worrying
1:09
confusing and you get lost and worrying how you can progress. So, thank heavens
1:11
how you can progress. So, thank heavens
1:11
how you can progress. So, thank heavens for the hint button which recharges
1:13
for the hint button which recharges
1:13
for the hint button which recharges fairly quickly. Though I've never needed
1:15
fairly quickly. Though I've never needed

fairly quickly. Though I've never needed to use it back to back very quickly.
1:16
to use it back to back very quickly.

Once it helps you out in an area, you can normally keep expanding on your own,

can normally keep expanding on your own,
1:20
can normally keep expanding on your own, but it's a godsend when you're too
1:22
but it's a godsend when you're too
1:22
but it's a godsend when you're too frustrated to look at all the numbers
1:23
frustrated to look at all the numbers
1:23
frustrated to look at all the numbers anymore.
1:25
anymore.
1:25
anymore. Newspaper article to each object. Every
1:28
Newspaper article to each object. Every
1:28
Newspaper article to each object. Every object you complete is another sort of
1:29
object you complete is another sort of
1:30
object you complete is another sort of clue as to what happened regarding the
1:31
clue as to what happened regarding the
1:31
clue as to what happened regarding the death within the scene. And I love it's
1:33
death within the scene. And I love it's
1:33
death within the scene. And I love it's not as simple as looking at parts of a
1:35
not as simple as looking at parts of a
1:35
not as simple as looking at parts of a body and hypothesizing that this
1:36
body and hypothesizing that this
1:36
body and hypothesizing that this happened here and such, or even just
1:38
happened here and such, or even just
1:38
happened here and such, or even just looking at an object that could be
1:40
looking at an object that could be
1:40
looking at an object that could be broken in a way that implies some sort
1:41
broken in a way that implies some sort
1:42
broken in a way that implies some sort of break-in or struggle. Instead, each
1:44
of break-in or struggle. Instead, each
1:44
of break-in or struggle. Instead, each object is seemingly different and
1:46
object is seemingly different and
1:46
object is seemingly different and prompts some type of newspaper article
1:47
prompts some type of newspaper article
1:47
prompts some type of newspaper article for you to read that stretches a bit
1:49
for you to read that stretches a bit
1:49
for you to read that stretches a bit beyond what you might normally look into
1:51
beyond what you might normally look into
1:51
beyond what you might normally look into on a crime scene. You don't really know
1:53
on a crime scene. You don't really know
1:53
on a crime scene. You don't really know what's going to come up regarding each
1:55
what's going to come up regarding each
1:55
what's going to come up regarding each object, and that kind of gives you the
1:56
object, and that kind of gives you the
1:56
object, and that kind of gives you the drive to want to complete them. Cons:
2:00
drive to want to complete them. Cons:
2:00
drive to want to complete them. Cons: colors unclear. The numbers of the
2:02
colors unclear. The numbers of the
2:02
colors unclear. The numbers of the squares have three different colors to
2:03
squares have three different colors to
2:03
squares have three different colors to them, and I only understand one of them.
2:06
them, and I only understand one of them.
2:06
them, and I only understand one of them. That would be great because it means the
2:07
That would be great because it means the
2:07
That would be great because it means the area is done. Not that you've got it
2:09
area is done. Not that you've got it
2:09
area is done. Not that you've got it correct necessarily, but the number
2:11
correct necessarily, but the number
2:11
correct necessarily, but the number amount needed for the area is completed
2:12
amount needed for the area is completed
2:12
amount needed for the area is completed appropriately as far as the number
2:14
appropriately as far as the number
2:14
appropriately as far as the number itself. The two colors that I don't
2:16
itself. The two colors that I don't
2:16
itself. The two colors that I don't understand are the white and black.
2:19
understand are the white and black.
2:19
understand are the white and black. Sometimes numbers will turn black when
2:21
Sometimes numbers will turn black when
2:21
Sometimes numbers will turn black when you're working next to them, and then
2:22
you're working next to them, and then
2:22
you're working next to them, and then sometimes they're white. I wonder that
2:24
sometimes they're white. I wonder that
2:24
sometimes they're white. I wonder that the black numbers meant that I could
2:25
the black numbers meant that I could
2:25
the black numbers meant that I could solve the area right now, but that
2:27
solve the area right now, but that
2:27
solve the area right now, but that wasn't the case. Some of those numbers
2:29
wasn't the case. Some of those numbers
2:29
wasn't the case. Some of those numbers had too many questionable spaces to
2:30
had too many questionable spaces to
2:30
had too many questionable spaces to figure out, and the white numbers
2:32
figure out, and the white numbers
2:32
figure out, and the white numbers weren't easy to figure out either. Then
2:34
weren't easy to figure out either. Then
2:34
weren't easy to figure out either. Then I figured maybe the black numbers were
2:35
I figured maybe the black numbers were
2:35
I figured maybe the black numbers were ones I couldn't figure out right now.
2:37
ones I couldn't figure out right now.
2:37
ones I couldn't figure out right now. But if that were the case, then it would
2:38
But if that were the case, then it would
2:38
But if that were the case, then it would be the same for the white numbers. So, I
2:41
be the same for the white numbers. So, I
2:41
be the same for the white numbers. So, I think they could have expanded a bit
2:42
think they could have expanded a bit
2:42
think they could have expanded a bit more on the color of the numbers in the
2:43
more on the color of the numbers in the
2:43
more on the color of the numbers in the tutorial because they just left me
2:45
tutorial because they just left me
2:45
tutorial because they just left me confused.
2:46
confused.
2:46
confused. And that's the end of a pros and cons

And that's the end of a pros and cons
