    Played some FMV games from Wales Interactive and Shapeshifting Detective was the one i enjoyed the most. Good crime thriller atmosphere with (possible) supernatural elements. It does not feel hollow and predetermined (like most other FMV). However in the end you are still left with many unanswered questions, some branches of the story don't lead to anywhere. Needed more meat around the bones. I would have also liked…

    I was entertained for some time. Everything falls apart at the end, tho. With multiple endings and multiple killers within these endings, the whole story is kind of a pointless waste of time, as there isn't a definitive answer to what is truly happening or who is actually at fault.
