The Detective Society: The Disappearance of Claire Makova: Episode 1

This first part in an episodic subscription game starts off with some "training missions" which left us a bit apprehensive - they're maths-heavy and seem to bear little relevance to the main story - they felt like they were perhaps added as an afterthought just to pad out the content slightly. Fortunately, once they're out the way, the main body of the game is much more entertaining - you'll be identifying persons of interest, sending and receiving emails, and checking out things like maps, phone calls and credit card transaction history to investigate the case of a missing person. The components - both physical and digital - are all above-average quality, and are enjoyable to examine. None of the puzzles are particularly hard, but they flow well, and there's a nice narrative progression that ends with a satisfying cliffhanger to be continued in the rest of the series. It was good enough for me to decide to subscribe to the whole season, so I just hope the puzzles step up in difficulty slightly!
