positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Play as one of two investigators: Detective Old Dog (actual government name) - a man with a wildly varying array of accents, or Ally - a woman who becomes more and more Scottish as time goes on, which is an understandable stress response. The game is fairly short (it took us about two hours) and the story lacks some... polish, let's put it that way. But the puzzles are fun and engaging without being frustratingly difficult. I've played my fair share of coop puzzle games and had quite a fun…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →#justbeatit Unsolved Case The free prequel to the coop game Unboxing the Cryptic Killer and Parallel Experiment. Fun, quite easy and short asynchronous co-op puzzle experience. Could act as a demo for the other games if you’re interested. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

unlabelledView post →Amazing short co-op puzzle games. The art style is top-notch, and the puzzles are very intuitive, unique, and challenging without being too frustrating. It took my friend and me about 6 hours to complete 100% of the achievements.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quick co-op puzzle game. It's nothing outstanding, but it's fun 5-ish hour game. There are some pretty unique puzzles in there :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great two player puzzle game. Husband and wife duo enjoyed almost 4 hours of gameplay start to finish. Highly recommend for those looking for something to kick back and hang out with.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played a co-op puzzle game with @emmalthorley.bsky.social today called Unboxing the Cryptic Killer and this was maybe my favourite part (volume warning)
unlabelledView post →Sorry, it's got some fun puzzles but it also feels like they made it just long enough that you can't return it after you beat it, but not long enough to feel satisfying. And, I dunno, I saw the ending from a mile away. Very thin story.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wow. THIS GAME WAS SO GOOD! i love the characters and the puzzles :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A solid 7/10 for us! It's rather short, so I'd wait for a sale. We completed it in just about two hours. We may go back and swap places, but it'll have to be later down the line so we forget the puzzles. I may not have bought the game if I had known it was this short, but I won't force a refund even though I could. Doesn't seem fair. This game is more for amateur or intermediate puzzle solvers I think. The puzzles were mostly pretty easy. The only thing that would be holding you back is how…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game! I played it with my partner and we had an amazing time. Interesting story, good puzzles, and a nice atmosphere 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun and enjoyable puzzle game, but its extremely short!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was very fun. I like the puzzles and it was engaging without being stressful. the voices were funny.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good co-op puzzle game. You need to work and communicate together to find the solutions. I would like to say, you need a good partner but not too much. Because most of the puzzles are giving the solution away quite easily. Personaly, I understood what we needed to do at first sight most of the time, they are not too cryptic which is good, I guess... I liked most of the puzzles. They seem easy, but not too much. You need to think one step ahead, and I really liked that twists in the some…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a lot of fun playing Unboxing the Cryptic Killer. The puzzles are really well designed and feel rewarding to solve. I completed the game twice, once as Ally and once as Old Dog, and both playthroughs were enjoyable. You can really tell that the developers put a lot of effort into this game. What makes it special is the teamwork aspect. Solving puzzles together with your duo (in my case, my best friend) is the best part of the experience. Communicating, thinking together, and putting…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent game with decent puzzles. Worth a try for the puzzle lovers. I wish that the puzzles had some random factor to them. Replaying as the other character is not fun as the puzzles are exactly the same.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Me and my partner had a splendid time with this game. The full price is absolutely worth it - the game is perfect for a fun, cozy evening with a friend or partner, and a much more affordable alternative to an escape room. The discounted price is a bargain. The developer also offers a free prequel to this game, so you can test if the gameplay is something for you. Unboxing the Cryptic Killer is a co-op puzzle game for two players, similar to a digital escape room. You're separated from each…

unlabelledView post →This game is a bit short but it makes up for it tenfold in the quality of the gameplay and puzzles its amazing I really enjoyed the story and the art I would highly recommend for an afternoon or evening with a friend!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredible game, it was so much fun to solve a case with my friend and laugh at how stupid we are for not figuring something out. Could not recommend more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →NO SPOILSERS! DONT WORRY! Absolutely amazing game. Incredibly fun, definetly worth the 6 euros. The puzzles are well made, not too easy but also not too hard. The hints are very nice as well slowly pointing you towards the answer not giving it straight away. The only thing I didnt like is that when you type the code that is a 4-digit code, even if you know 3 digits the last one you can sort of brute force and just try until you get it. And when you are desperate you just try until it works. It…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The premise is good, but the puzzles aren't good. I only had 1 or 2 "ahhh I get it" moments. The video game puzzles are fun. There is variety in the puzzles, but morse code? Flag semaphore? This is not fun. But the price is right. 5.5/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short but extremely fun! My husband and I had fun solving these puzzles and, while they were challenging, only needed the assistance of the hints a couple times to complete the game. Great way to spend a few hours, wish it was longer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played this with my GF and got yelled at. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can write the same as about the prologue game: fun for an evening with a friend, looks good and the puzzles puzzles are not too difficult, but still have you pay attention and talk about them. The story is alright but is more there to give you a reason to solve those puzzles which it does well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is the second in the series (the first one is free, its called unsolved case). This is an amazing coop puzzle game, and I enjoyed it. It is a bit short, but pretty good overall. I also like that these games are on mobile and other platforms with crossplay, so its easy to play with a duo.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got this game when it was on sale for my girlfriend and I. It was a great way to connect while we were long-distance and since it saves in between rooms, we were able to do it over a few weeks when we had time. The only thing I noticed that was off was that when we used hints they were confusing and not well written. I enjoyed all of the puzzles though!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The puzzles are not very original and become repetitive quite quickly. Sometimes they are too easy, other times tedious and unintuitive. The game is also very short. The main positives are the low price and the nice art style. I would leave a neutral review if Steam allowed it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The price of the game does not justify the content. It is a game with 0 replay ability because the codes are hard coded (rather than randomizing shapes and numbers). The puzzles, albeit sometimes interesting, take about an hour to fully complete. If the game is half off, maybe it is worth it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best co op puzzle games. PRO TIP: Do it with a friend that you can yell at and they won't take it personally!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great online Co-op escape game. Fun for long distance Date Nights. Hope to find more like it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Delightful game! there were only a few puzzles that really had me and my friend stumped, but the rest were solvable with few leaps in logic. And the hints helped get us on track. Very worth it in my opinion, got both games on sale for seven dollars. Play the free prequel if you're uncertain. But if you enjoy a good ol' escape room, this will be right up your ally.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The one friend that played this with me got snappy because I had trouble with some math. I don’t have any other friends to play this with 😢 and math is dumb.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played with girlfriend and enjoyed a lot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great puzzles even better time 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is hotdog water. HOLY Guacamole. I love puzzle games but this one is terrible
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LIVE NOW - We're back on our co-op communication game as we check out Unboxing the Cryptic Killer ( @elevenpuzzles.bsky.social ). Can we... Unbox The Cryptic Killer? Find out now! twitch.tv/brambeardgaming
unlabelledView post →Played with a friend. We really enjoyed this. You are each given different pieces of the puzzle and have to work together to solve them. Most of the puzzles are not timed so it is not stressful. Loved it so much we are going to play the other games in this series, and any new ones that come out. Great for a game night. Can be done in 1 session.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun and funny puzzle game. Would highly recommend!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Solid experience, only takes a few hours but its a good time with a friend. Very good sense of humor.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great game night game to play with another player. Absolutely recommend. GG, Eleven Puzzles.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →8.5/10 Best game from Eleven Puzzles so far even after Parallel Experiment released. Give this game a go!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you enjoyed the free demo definetly buy the full game, its worth its money :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a fun little game where you kinda get lost cause lack of indications. Last part could've been harder imo.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super cool game, I liked it even more than the first part of it. Some of the achievement are weird like, why would I need to click something 20 or 100 times? But overall it is cool to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, puzzles were sufficiently hard
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of fun, great escape room style game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Um jogo simples, rapido e bem curtinho. Alguns puzzles sao super legais, outros sao bem meia boca. De modo geral eu me diverti e acho que o jogo vale o preço! Recomendo
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was a fun puzzle game to play with a friend. I think it was worth the full price but my friend and I got it on sale for $1.79. Took about 6 hours to 100%, though most of the achievements are just for pressing stuff a bunch. There was only a couple puzzles that confused us.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lowkey a good game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i did not like this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nearly got divorced. 10/10
