Touch Detective - hands-on

If you're not familiar with this style of game, the attention to detail and off-base solutions could seem a bit much. Finding a key to open a door is one thing, but putting mushroom cookies in a paper bag to induce a sleepwalking trance is an option that might skip your mind at first.

Even though we managed to lose the dream thief's trail more than once, Touch Detective's snappy dialogue and stylized world kept our magnifying glasses pointed in the right direction. There's less than a month to go for its release, so you'll have a chance to sample the sleuthing soon enough.
