A Bold Approach to Mystery | Dissecting THE PAINSCREEK KILLINGS 1 by Vote 4 Holt
Hi everyone!
Recently Vote 4 Holt published an essay style video about mystery games and featured The Painscreek Killings as his case study. He invited 4 players to play The Painscreek Killings and compiled their approach to the game and what route they took. If you already played TPK but want to experience it once again, it is very enjoyable to watch and gives a chance to revisit the town of Painscreek again!
For those who haven't played The Painscreek Killings yet, please take a look at the beginning and see if you would like to try the game yourself!
It is going to be a 3-part video series and part 1 is out now!

As a mystery game developer, it was very informative, and we learned what to improve for our future mystery games.
