    I've always loved detective games, but this one, despite being simple, delivers! Case Files Behind Closed Doors is an FMV game with an investigation aspect. The story about the murder of an abusive boyfriend, four suspects are being interviewed to get answers. Unlike other FMVs, you'll play in first-person perspective as an investigator in the back office, helping your fellow investigator, Martin Ruiz, who is in the interview room. You watch the suspects being interviewed on the screen;…

You start the game with only the Ooishi section unlocked, and you need to clear everything to move onto the next.

    This game was really fun. It was very cozy and straight-forward. It was pretty linear and that doesn't have to be a bad thing. It really was a good police detective mystery. There were over 2 dozen video clips to watch and the acting was excellent. There was some evidence to review and reports to mull over. Overall I really enjoyed it and hope they make more like this. Maybe add in a few more pieces of evidence. Maybe add a few more locations and let the player explore the rooms and collect…

    This is the type of game I should love. Really simple design philosophy, actors giving it their all in impressive one shots, in a game similar to Phoenix Wright, but with FMV. However, the pace is really slow, and there's not enough variety of choice, or consequences to those choices. Her Story, which has similar gameplay and tone, hits some many marks better in almost every category. The gameplay consists of document dumping, listening to a 15 minute interview, and answering ONE question,…

    I was going to recommend it as a fun simple experience, but now I see that this is the third game of this type by the dev. If it was their first game I think it'd be passible as a good experience to grow from, but as a third in a series it's pretty lacking. Very short for the $10 its asking for and very straight forward and easy. There's nothing really interesting about experimenting with different options, most of the interactivity doesn't even allow incorrect answers so you can just…

The premise is gripping: an abusive boyfriend is killed, and you must determine which of four suspects is guilty. The game excels in its interactive elements.

    For those who played the first case files game, this one is leaps and bounds better, making great strides in progressing this format. I found myself getting especially invested in the case and characters, enjoying the longer format of the game and intently hanging on to every story detail.

And it wasn't death by reading reports, instead - it was a really streamlined delivery mechanic for information gathering. The acting was really great. Charles and Janice were both top notch, the emotional delivery and range they showed really added a ton of depth to the…

    As someone who enjoys FMV games and detective stories, this is an excellent follow-up to "Case Files: The Death of Paulette Williams". - You watch video testimony, review the evidence, and then select evidence that supports or contradicts the testimony to steer the investigation. I recommend it for fans of Ace Attorney games, indie films, and murder-mystery stories.

    As a huge fan of homicide TV shows, this game had me living my best detective fantasy—minus the brooding trench coat. I played it before the developers’ earlier game (oops), but honestly, this one is so good I don’t even feel bad about skipping ahead. It’s like they took all the best parts of crime dramas—minus the endless staring at evidence boards—and wrapped it up into one ridiculously fun experience.

    For me, this game was just a bit slow. I'll probably finish the game just because I promised myself I would finish games I purchased, but it's not as interactive as I was expecting it to be. I would have liked to have more controls over interrogation or the direction of questions. I think I was expecting the acting to be more animated as well.
