A Case of Fraud provided me a very good time piecing the information together, and the journey around the dozens of documents was enjoyable. While the final mystery could be harder to solve and the volume of clues sometimes feels overwhelming, the parallel stories are incredibly engaging. They add a rich layer of intrigue that makes you wonder what it would be like to work at this company. The game reminds me of a few board games about investigations that are popping up on social media, where you receive the documents printed in your home. It’s great to see such a good idea adapted to an online form, and I hope the studio can bring us more cases like that!
Umami has great potential to be your companion for a quiet afternoon. Although I feel the game could be a little bigger, its visual style and overall experience are quite relaxing and very fitting for those moments when you just want to distract your mind. For a casual gamer or a puzzle lover, it will be a delightful diversion.
