Confidential Killings - A Detective Game Reviews
Confidential Killings didn’t always satisfy me with its exploration of its narrative or characters, but it still managed to be an excellent puzzle game, one that uses gritty noir storytelling and pulpy graphic novel visuals as presentation for its challenging brainteasers.
Fans of The Golden Idol should definitely give it a try, even despite its flaws. It has its strong moments and a distinct atmosphere, and on top of that, the developer’s care and attention are clearly evident. In my view, even if it doesn’t become a cult classic, it will certainly find a small but dedicated fan base.

Confidential Killings - A Detective Game’s artwork, which combines 1970s glamour with a noir aesthetic, has plenty of style. However, the puzzles lack substance, kneecapping attempts at intrigue and challenge by showing their hand far too early. There’s a decent story, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have some fun filling in the blanks of these deadly scenarios, but this was far from the killer experience I was hoping for.
