I planned to post earlier, but real life made it impossible.

Last Tuesday, 9/9, I finally released the game I was working on for the last three years, The Case of Andrew D. It is an investigative video game blending Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), digital forensics, and alternate reality elements. Your job in the game is to use your real life computer skills to help team of private eyes find answers for their clients, and uncover stories behind the cases. Files are real, places are real, techniques required are real and it is up to you to choose tools and to google for information. Yes, it is challenging, yes, it requires critical thinking, no, it doesn't hold your hand all the time. But there is no higher reward than to prove yourself you've got the skill :wink:

So, if it sounds interesting to anyone - go for it! And if you will be good enough for the good, ol' Borek, to leave a review, that would be perfect - Steam algo feeds on reviews, the more the better (to some extent number of reviews is more important than whether they are good, or not).

You might want to change that logo to maybe a detective or globe or something. Some people do not like bugs. I find bugs cool from a distance, but it looks like that beetle went belly up.
