Very entertaining twist on the hidden object genre. Instead of just getting a generic scene with a list of things to find, you search a city map to solve crimes. Well worth the few bucks it costs.

This is a great little game! I really enjoy the art style and how each 'case' is designed. It's fun to see characters from previous cases while working on the later ones, and I found it got easier as I learned where certain areas were on the map. I just purchased the expansion and am I looking forward to more!

A very fun, very thought-out world of where's waldo-esque, that keeps expanding. It was a little pricey tbh for a full game, but I think with all the efforts that have been put into this game, it's kinda worth it. Shout out to the devs and game makers for creating their own version of a hidden object game. They gave their own flavor to the genre. I really liked the concept so much of a picture captured in time that tells a story of how things went down, though sometimes it might be vague.

You have to pay for the full game. that's hella lame

THIS GAME COSTS MORE THAN $7. There is a second payment required later in the game for the rest of the content. It seems very well-thought-out and the art style is clean and cute. I would have much preferred these free levels listed in the app store as "MicroMacro Demo" (free) and the full game listed separately on the app store as "MicroMacro" ($7) and included the FULL game. (Rewritten for clarity)

I purchased it for seven dollars. That's a 5-hour game on steam normally. This lasted an hour or so then said I had to pay EVEN MORE for more cases. I was misled about the purchase thinking I had bought the full game.

I thought I would love this game, as I knew it was an adaptation of the popular board game. The art and writing is indeed very charming, but the design of the app (particularly as it was intended to gate content for microtransactions) hinders nonlinear thinking and introduces hard limits to how you solve the mysteries. I love deductive games like "Return of the Obra Dinn", which I imagine the original board game would resemble. I wish I'd saved my money for that.
