Life & Crimes
In 1979, robbers ransacked a bank vault in Kensington, London. The heist was unusually clean - no one was traced and in total 13.8 million pounds of gold and jewels have never been recovered. It now comes to you, our virtuos detective, to analyse and identify the culprits and unearth the shadowy conspiracy at its heart.
Instructions
In this game you are tasked with matching criminals to their names and aliases. You can do this by searching a database, reading articles and listening to tapes.
Clicking on the audio tab on the terminal computer screen allows you search audio logs. You can use any word contained in the audio over two letters long (e.g. crime, bank).
Clicking on the criminal's name or alias field will convert the terminal into searching for names and aliases.
Each section will move on when you complete the characters displayed.

Same, I got utterly stuck in chapter 3, can't find the 4th tape of 1984. I'm starting to wonder if the name database is bugged and that's why I can't get the full name of the safecracker. But I swear I searched for pretty much every verb and noun I heard or read by now (and several possible names), and some of the names I could decipher, and still no tape 4.
And I'm sorry, I realise there's a whole Discord but I'm already so overwhelmed by every indie developer wanting you to join their Discord. I'm already stretching myself over the channels I'm currently in.
Maybe I'm just thick, but I got to the part 3 of the game and gave up. Couldn't find one of the last tapes, couldn't figure out how to get the names, and I'd been struggling through the game long enough that I lost interest in finishing it.
Good premise, but the searching for name and alias system is not the best. If anyone really likes a challenge, this is it.
Pretty good puzzle, took me a long while to figure out some of the clues, but it's a really good one if you're into challenging yourself.
The theme is pretty well maintained, even with the VA's speaking into the tape, overall a generally 5/5 experience.
Best of luck, cheers!
