Please continue this series! Paula did a great job.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you enjoyed - we have more planned. Thanks for checking it out!

[@pederbergenwall]

"Huh, interesting, I'll just watch a couple of minutes" _one hour later_ This playthrough was great fun, and Paula is just incredibly charming and engaging with this type of game. I'm entranced.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you enjoyed Peder - thanks for the kind comment!

[@PaulaDeming]

this is a lovely compliment, thank you!

[@guilandarcana]

OH MY GOD. I laughed so hard at this. First thing on my mind was "Huh, interesting. I'll just watch a couple of minutes." I'm afraid to press play now.

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@guilandarcana We DARE you!

[@guilandarcana]

@@WatchItPlayed I did play. And I did watch it whole. I love it.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Paula, you are just sooooo fun to watch!!

[@PaulaDeming]

aww thanks!!

[@afrank525]

Paula's solo storytelling - I mean playthroughs - are my favorite new feature on your channel!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Woohoo - glad you enjoyed it :)

[@sohailsadaqat6684]

Amazing playthrough, Hope to see a lot more of these. Quality of these videos are pretty high, with both editing and also Paula fully immersing herself in the theme and voices. I felt like I was watching/reading a real story

[@WatchItPlayed]

We have more planned - thanks for showing your support with an encouraging comment!

[@acerumble]

Would have been an easy thing to gloss over the scene of self-harm as just thematic noir, but am appreciative of your recognition and support for those who may be more deeply affected by it. Another fun playthrough, looking forward to more!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yeah, it was something we wanted to be sensitive to. You never know who is going to watch and what they might be going through at the time. Thanks for joining us on this adventure!

[@PaulaDeming]

[@rf-j5121]

Acting, voices, comedy, a playthrough AND a PSA. What more goodness could you pack into a single video. Well done Paula!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for joining us on the case R F!

[@PaulaDeming]

:D

[@mollymckee4109]

This was so great! I was just going to watch a little & got pulled in and watched the whole thing! I have been a little intimidated to try this solo but this game is coming off my shelf of shame tonight! Thank you!! 🙂

[@WatchItPlayed]

That's so great to hear Molly! Please report back and let us know how your next case goes :)

[@PaulaDeming]

Do it! It was really fun to play solo and I didn’t have to worry about what anyone else wanted to do during the investigation ;)

[@solarphantom74]

Paula Deming - brilliant as always.

[@hornist34]

Proof that everything Paula touches turns into GOLD! I'm motivated now to get Chronicles off of my Shelf of Opportunity! *I wondered if REDACTED was a bad person from the start ... *

[@WatchItPlayed]

Do it, and let us know how it goes!

[@lilysiagian]

That"s a very good video! I was enjoying myself 😁😁😁 Thank you so much for a great video. I look forward to see more detective/mystery playthrough. I don't mind if you continue this chronicles of crime series. Please do! Thanks again 👍👍👍

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you enjoyed going on the investigation with us :)

[@matthewchin8437]

The glances at the door…is it the cat or something else. “Crazy ol’maurice….” Ruffians throwing Maurice out of the bar, Beauty and the Beast. I have two little girls, that’s my excuse. Love the videos from the Watch it Played Family.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks Matthew, we've got lots more on the way!

[@PaulaDeming]

You got it!

[@eepinpang4407]

No face palming?? How even!! Great vid Paula! Very professionally done as always, and love how warm and fun it was! More please!

[@PaulaDeming]

Thank you!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks EePin!

[@danvenables4935]

Wow that game really impressed me, definately seems worth trying sometime-works really smooth and clever too. And Paula did a great job narrating and telling the story. I followed through most of it, just struggled not remembering who people were sometimes (only downside of no names on the character cards), but I managed to solve most questions! Good job!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Really glad you enjoyed - thanks for the kind words about the video Dan :)

[@styfen]

Paula is an absolute gem!

[@WatchItPlayed]

We'd never argue with you fen :)

[@Illusionzone]

Well shot. Great presentation. Loads of fun. Let's have more!!!

[@Illusionzone]

@@WatchItPlayed Awesome! Thank you!

[@linda.liefs.bordspellen2693]

The serie 'table for 1' is my favorite so far. I am trying the base game solo, and I am struggling. Especially with remembering all the connections and changes in the stories of the people i question... Paula, do you have any tips for other solo-players?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Rodney here, I sometimes find it really helps to pull out a pen and paper, and jot down notes for myself. When you have more players, you can rely on different people remembering different things, but on your own, you have to do it all, so I like to pretend I'm an actual investigator, who really would be taking notes down.

[@gbdomingo]

wow, that ending is pretty exciting! thanks Paula!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you enjoyed :)

[@debbiemalin6007]

Love these table for one, hopefully more in the future. Great job Paula

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you enjoyed. More on the way :)

[@partypao]

I love Paula!! She's a natural board game actress!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I like how after everyone finished talking, you do the hand thingy 😂

Great video! That was very entertaining, and now I really want that game.

I hope you get a chance to try it Henri!

Here's me hoping Rodney and Paula will do another live stream of Chronicles of Crime in the not so distant future.

[@josuazeroo2011]

As a solo player because of this pandemic, this kind of video is really interesting and fun

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for joining us on the case!

Chronicles of Crime, the one woman show!

Sign me up for a Fringe Festival somewhere! ;)

And what a tour de force!

[@TakedaYuuki-8SFL]

Amen to that. Great to see you out there.

[@moufakos]

Your videos are so theatrical and funny. Keep up the good work 😍🙌👍💯

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@stefve]

Well done Paula, the charming detective

[@WatchItPlayed]

Charm is a key tool in any detectives toolkit!

[@timothymclean]

36:24: "Crazy old Maurice" reminds me of Jenny Nicholson for some reason. The Beastly video, maybe?

[@seanfitch6074]

Fave new video series! This game is on my shelf waiting to be cracked open 🤗

[@WatchItPlayed]

Sounds like it's time to crack the next case :)

[@joshfrench5858]

Will you let me know how it plays? I am wary of app games. But it does look interesting.

[@seanfitch6074]

@@joshfrench5858 I have the first game and both expansions. The base game is great for solo. Super fun. I ran into some glitches and poor translation in Noir that kind of broke the experience for me, but the roleplaying and dice mechanics in Redview seem cool (next on my list). I liked it enough to collect the whole series, so that tells you something! I'm not as committed to character as Paula when I play, though 🤣

[@joshfrench5858]

@@seanfitch6074 thanks. How does it play beyond solo? I like solo games but do prefer to play with friends and family. Thanks for the response. 👍

[@seanfitch6074]

@@joshfrench5858 I've never played with others, but the rules and gameplay don't change at all. Only difference is you can talk about the case and share ideas (but you also have to argue about what to do) 🤔

[@Owlbyours]

I really enjoy board games that can be played with 1 player

[@WatchItPlayed]

It also means it's ALWAYS your turn :)

[@alanwinchester744]

Au delà des mots. Tout simplement incroyable à regarder Paula. 👍🏼

[@PaulaDeming]

:D (just don't make me try to pronounce all this French ;) )

[@hatchhermit77]

Very fun watch! I was ahead of you on a few of the clues, but got the apartment wrong based on Rousseu's description. Well done!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I really dug the way they put puzzles like that into the game!

[@PaulaDeming]

I almost got it wrong! Was very close to putting the wrong one in the app.

[@hatchhermit77]

@@WatchItPlayed Definitely a cool addition!

[@hatchhermit77]

@@PaulaDeming I know! With the plates combination I was like "No! It's backwards! :D", but then you were right about the apartment. Two heads and all that. Honestly, I'm amazed you did it all w/o taking notes and solo. I wouldn't have been able to keep it all straight in my head.

[@PaulaDeming]

@@hatchhermit77 there's a History feature in the app that lets you go back and look at what people have said to you--I made very good use of that, those bits just got left on the editing room floor

Really enjoyed this, well done Paula

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed Gamers :)

[@PaulaDeming]

Thanks, I'm so glad!

[@timothymclean]

Paris in the early 20th century? Arsène Lupin had better show up, or what's the point?

[@glayher]

Nice video! I am going to play along...pausing to set up.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Do it and let us know how it went :)

[@PaulaDeming]

ooh yes let me know how it goes/if you get different information than I did! I know that if you scan things in different orders, you get different responses. I'd be very curious to know if you discover something I did!

[@glayher]

Ugh, it started to make my brain hurt trying to listen/watch and pay attention to my game. It would have worked if I just followed along. I did solve it mostly. I only answered a bit over half correctly.

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@glayher Yes, I suppose watching and playing at the exact same time might have introduced some additional challenges (so award yourself 20 bonus Watch It Played points to your score!)

[@glayher]

@@WatchItPlayed yes!!...new high score. Going to patreon now. Your team has made a bad enjoyable. Thank you

9:45 Paula's cat complaining

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yep :) Trying to get appearance credits!

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Woah, came to make a joke about how Rodney has changed since I last saw him (based on the thumbnail), only to find out this is Paula!!! Multiple years of listening (and enjoying) This Game is Broken, and didn't know who it was! Enjoying the video, thanks guys :-)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Surprise! And catch even more of Paula on the channel in our On The Radar Top 10s (and lots of other videos!)

[@MattyJude]

Yuhh yuh!!!

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Matthew Jude haha I knew you were around. You’re hard to miss! Your positive attitude is unmistakable :-D

[@brycelomonaco9113]

Can you redo it all exactly the same but with outrageous French accents? JK. Thoroughly enjoyable.

[@WatchItPlayed]

In 10 years we'll do the remake!

[@itaiperez]

(Spoilers on this case below) We found most of the facts, but didn't think of showing the newspaper to the doctor. So he never cracked and told us about him healing Samuel. So we tried solving the case but since we never learned that Samuel was the killer, our boss kept telling us to go back and investigate. At last we got a message about Chloe taking pills. When getting there finally we learned about the other apartment and found Samuel. So we solved the case, but it took a lot more time than you, and our score was much lower.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Well done cracking the case!

[@PaulaDeming]

You got it in the end, though! It's so interesting how you can get different information based on who and WHEN you talk to them! Thanks for sharing your experience with me!

[@joshfrench5858]

The start of the video threw me off. Lol

[@kmichaelmace]

That was fun. Your brain is too big for me. I was totally lost the whole way through.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Good thing Paula was on the case then :)

[@kmichaelmace]

@@WatchItPlayed Agreed. I have to take scrupulous notes when I play Chronicles Of Crime.

[@PaulaDeming]

@@kmichaelmace I edited out all the times I went through the "history" part of the app to remind myself of what people had said/where I should be going next. If that makes you feel any better!

[@rialiti3996]

no french accent ? why ?

[@WatchItPlayed]

We're saving that for the remake in 10 years.
