Yeah! Nice entry in the MicroMacro series, a new map and cases so you're not doubling up if you've played the board games, and a few neat nods to the digital format (like being able to see inside certain buildings). The only issue here is it's unfinished. Literally: at the end of the paid full version, the cases only take you across 4 of the cities 9 areas. Presumably there's paid DLC to come. Still, there's about as much content already in here as one of the physical games, and much cheaper!

As someone who played all of the boardgame MicroMacro games I was incredibly excited for the app version. I love how much detail has gone in, especially the bits where you have to zoom right in on the smallest of details. The tracking of things with the red marks also makes it easy to find things again. Can't wait for more content to be added to unlock more of the city!

ahhh, it's so nice to have a mobile version of this series! I'm having to pace myself so I don't complete all of the cases too fast :) Love how the narration guides you like they are card reader in the physical version. Would love to have a free style marking mode so that I can track POIs across the map when not solving a case, and a "double tap and swipe" to adjust zoom so I can play one handed. The ability to zoom in further to view minute details and carry out "searches" is a neat feature.
