Critic Reviews for Process of Elimination
Process of Elimination is a videogame with ideas poorly exploited and hastily managed. Despite of interesting an interesting context, it quickly loses interest. A missed opportunity.

Despite some shortcomings, Process of Elimination weaves an intriguing tale, bolstered by a cast of endearing characters. While it might not topple the giants in the visual novel genre, it is a story worth experiencing all the same.
There’s a decent amount of strategy that’s required in order to accomplish any of the investigation’s objectives in a limited amount of turns, but these end up constituting such a low amount of the game’s playtime that you’re left wishing for a better balance between Process of Elimination’s non-interactive sections and the far too scarce interactive segments. The game is an absurdist lark, with a few potent howlers and some delirious plotting, but also one that never quite compensates for the overwhelming amount of text that it forces you to read.
Process of Elimination is a fun visual novel in which you must solve a murder mystery on an island of super-detectives. Actual gameplay is light, but the bonkers story, mini-games, and detective puzzles make this a mystery worth solving.
Despite these minor issues, Process of Elimination is high quality, authentic, classical example of Japanese detective fiction. It’s not subversive or particularly boundary-breaking, but it’s also a very good student of the genre. So long as you can still kick back and enjoy a good Conan Doyle, Christie or Ranpo story, you’ll enjoy what this has to offer.
Inspired by more established titles in the market, Process of Elimination delivers a suitable experience, with a premise well known to the public, but with a complexity below of that from its inspirations.

Process of Elimination is a fun detective game with an interesting cast and story as well as a unique board game twist on investigating. As long as you're prepared to read a lot of text, you'll enjoy unraveling the mystery of The Quartering Duke.
Process of Elimination is a curious work that explores an unusual format for criminal investigation. For those who love the genre and want to see this tactical element mix, it's an interesting game but the repetitive narrative hindered by multiple plot conveniences significantly weaken the experience, just as the fact the title could have explored its mechanics' possibilities further.
