Casebook 1899 - The Leipzig Murders - Wild Boar - 10-05-2025
Feel like a detective in the 19th century in this retro point-and-click adventure: find clues, interrogate suspects, and draw your own conclusions to find the true culprit among several suspects in four murder cases. Will you find the right ending?

Honestly: Casebook is crap.
The graphics are muddy in a gray-brown kind of way, and the stories are lame, so that after a few days I had to force myself to even log in. This is in stark contrast to “The Drifter,” which I played through. If “The Drifter” were Nobel Prize-worthy literature, then Casebook would be the elementary school essay of an untalented student.
The game does have some good ideas, such as using the notebook to ask questions or make deductions. And that brings us to the next topic: I know who the culprit is in games like this – as was the case in the first case – but I can't manage to combine the clues. How many times have I sent people to the gallows in Sherlock Holmes?
After two mini-games followed each other in quick succession in the second case, which I didn't feel like playing at all and skipped, I returned the game. With the honest explanation: “It's no fun.”

No, because I did not like it.
