Touche. I meant the images seem to make me think of the detectives like Spade and others. At least the movie versions. Of course a game has limits to what it can present and still be playable especially when on a device like the Kindle. So they make the dialogue simple. Basically it seems to be a CYOA with graphics, but that's ok. I like the old CYOA media.

What they wrote about - political and police corruption, organized crime, etc is the real world.
