Description
A millionaire’s secluded estate. A collection of dead girls. A group of reluctant strangers. One is the killer ...but who? You need more than your badge and gun to catch the killer. Only a sharp mind and the right questions will uncover this mystery.
"Scratch" is a 165,000 word interactive murder mystery by Cloud Buchholz, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
You’re a small town detective. An anonymous tip leads you to a collection of sadistically murdered girls dumped on the forest estate of an eccentric, reclusive millionaire. A group of strangers are holed up in his dilapidated cabin, waiting out the recent storm.
They seem unaware of the murders, but the serial killer is hidden among them. You need to interrogate the suspects, gather clues, and stop the killer, but if you don’t tread carefully, more innocent people will die.
• Play as male or female • Interrogate seven potential suspects and discover their sordid pasts • Gather clues from your conversations to root out the killer • Succumb to your alcohol addiction or fight withdrawals • Recall cases from your past and the cruel life lessons from your Pa • Seventeen unique endings

Now THIS is a freaking proper story. COG has been too focused pushing forth a political agenda that they've forgotten why people go for their games in the first place. It's for this one right here. I spent the night with my feet clenched for the twists and turns and with my brows furrowed as I just can't filter out the red herrings from the real clues. I somehow got a lucky hit tho and apprehended the right mofo at the end. Very satisfying. Lol Tnx for the ride & tnx for not being like THEM.

It's been too long since I've last read a good story from HG. And this was phenomenal. Hooked me right from the beginning. People like different things. I don't care about the replay value, I care about the story, plot and characters. Great game for someone looking for those things.
★★★★★
A real mystery. The guys are really annoying, but they're still manageable. But what's not manageable? Alcohol. The murderer changes every time. (Sorry, The gal with the PTSD. I was just really sure it was you).
★★★★★
This is a detective story where you are investigating a mass grave of young women that were murdered. The writing is decent, but this story was different in the way that it functioned. There were no stats and the different endings seemed random. I suspect the investigation itself has little to no bearing on the actual ending. Essentially the ending is randomized. I enjoyed the dark storyline with a classic whodunit plot. This story has a lot of content in it that lends well to replayability.
★★☆☆☆
Very unreal in the beginning you lecture your rookie about not corrupting the crime scean the send them off while you secure the scean ane proceed to look at the corpses pale skin she's preaty but been dead for weeks... Flesh is roten and stripped in the woods from a car cis in 3–9 days depending on weather and if burried and if burried the ground composit. You move the bodies covering you move her hair and that's just the first couple pages... 😒 not sure what they did for research...
★★☆☆☆
Useless ass of a game. The story is very interesting. But the game is a dead game. No clues. And just random endings. You basically play the game over and over and be surprised of a different ending every time. Ass game and ass author.
★★☆☆☆
No clues on what's going to happen next. TRIED TO FOCUS, no use though. Replayed 24 times. No change to any dialogues. Just random endings. All over again. No replay value. One of the worst CYA game.
