"Just a little heads up before we get going, I'm a little unwell" ah, classic nerdcubed.

[@JhenMaster]

"It's firin out of every end"

[@RowanMackenzie]

This is just how Dan lives now apparently. Poor guy, his body hates him nowadays

[@Thumper17]

He lets himself get stressed out too easily not helped by the fact he's trying to do about ten things at once.

Got a facebook suggested post for a game that looked interesting about a week ago, and opened it in another tab to read the article later. Yesterday I got a different article about a game that looked interesting that I opened in another tab to read later. Checked them half an hour ago, and they were about the same game. Then this gets posted and it's THE SAME GAME. I guess I need to go pick this game up. EDIT: I bought it. I spent 5 hours solving a murder, then after finishing that case, I took a case to find some stolen documents. I was given the information about who and what I was looking for in a hidden briefcase. I scanned the briefcase for fingerprints to see who gave me the job, and it came back with the prints of the dead person whose murder I had just solved. This game is phenomenal.

[@WhiteWolf496]

Currently 10% off too which is cool

[@Kajnake]

It's destiny

[@Coconut-219]

The only part of this story that doesn't add up - is Facebook actually succeeding at serving relevant information.

[@sandy120]

This is exactly the kind of game I've been wanting my whole life

[@Kajnake]

I didn't know a semi realistic detective sim was my destiny

[@TheSuckoShow]

I've literally written this exact idea down thinking I might make it if I ever learn programming, but wishing someone else would because it sounds like a lot of work. It's very much something I've been daydreaming about for over a decade.

[@Yashirmare]

@@TheSuckoShow It's such a great feeling right? Had the same thing happen for me with The Pale Beyond (Not only that but the devs are close by). Mainly because you get to enjoy an idea you also had but without having to put the work in to make it.

I need this game to blow up, this is the perfect game.

[@gamingtonight1526]

It is blowing up!

[@squee30000]

I think Dan could have benefitted from being told that the vents show up on you map as you explore/observe them, so you can figure out how to exit in *not* someone's apartment

[@AshIsntReal]

I think it’s safe to say we need more streams of this

[@PrinceLeviathan]

RIP Zupan. Could've avoided your death if he was faster.

[@ObsidianGloria]

Is it weird I kinda want it to be possibly for your detective to have his/her/their own little social life if you want?

[@jinx8624]

yh that would be cool the more depth the better

[@Magrijack]

I’m always tempted to start a game, and just wait until everyone in the city is murdered. The one person who’s left is the murderer.

[@hansjb9274]

Ah process of elemination. Smart. Sherlock's got nothing on you.

[@eamonntee]

I would love a David Lynch mode for this game. Information to your case isnt explicitly marked for you, but has attention drawn to it in odd ways. The neon sign of the diner the victim visited flickers occasinally ('Troy's Grill' becomes 'Tr y ') The door of the murderers home is painted bright blue, a trash fire burns outside the building. The murder weapon is exquisitly polished, almost gleaming. The elevator music you hear in the victim's building is playing on the radio at the weapons dealer. Vibe based detective work.

[@eamonntee]

I understand this is impossible, but this game already is the result of technical wizardry. They could probably do the necessary witchcraft and rituals.

[@hatad321]

Only the sign one would be iffy, the store names are totally random and doing that for every possible name would be nuts lol.

[@jamesrosewell9081]

That would be a fun mod once they add mod support

[@clumsygarage1578]

this game has been on my wishlist for like 3 years how did I miss the demo and the launch and the stream edit: Maxwell Payne was one of the procedural names he clicked through, amazing.

[@Flaccidtetris]

Same lmao 😭

[@ObscuriaDragunAed]

I just found an implant that lets me choose either getting $2 for telling something about how good Starch Kola is, or I can choose to get $6 for giving people Starch Kola products lololol This game if fragging awesome and well worth 20 quid.

[@renaigh]

I wonder if you could use the fingerprint scanner on a codelock to see what numbers they pressed.

[@nighTmareCSGO]

You can’t but you do get their fingerprints

[@pinkusdean1178]

don't think so but that would be super cool! might be something for a future update? fingers crossed atleast

[@pingpongun8519]

That would be realistic, but also waaay to OP. The code mechanics would get boring real fast, could just aswell remove the whole mechanic and have safes without codes. This will probably never get added at it would be highly unhealthy for the game

[@irecordwithaphone1856]

​@@pingpongun8519 Or they could have it be so some people will use gloves maybe

[@scragar]

Or just have the keypads be the ones where they randomise the digit positions so the same code involves pressing different possitions every time. Or make up some excuse about how the code inputs auto clean in some way(similar to how you can set your phone unlock to require you to swipe across the code entry area after entering the code to smear fingerprints).

[@re--dacted]

If you're someone with GPU issues, lower the resolution as low as you can handle. The graphics will barely change because it's voxel, but it will lower GPU usage significantly.

[@jinx8624]

thats actually a good idea

[@rowanaboat4523]

28:46 Funniest detective story ever

[@Leo0718]

This reminds me of that movie where everyone is trapped in some sort of city noir hellscape that constantly repeats the same day. I can't remember the name now, but eventually they escape and it's an alien zoo where aliens are studying human emotions, hence the murders.

[@Nbwest609]

Dark City, came out in 1998

[@LC-gd6qj]

I like how there's really no hand-holding at all

[@pingpongun8519]

Jup, i like that aswell. Have a case with a dead end, but while at work i just thought of something that could open it up again, can’t wait to test my idea.

[@LauraSti]

AND no idiot puzzle nonsense. Ubiquitous rotating disks puzzle WHOMST?! This is gumshoe territory ONLY.

[@minimansam2267]

I love streams where Rebecca is involved

[@Flaccidtetris]

This game is absolutely insane. I think Dan also played one of their earlier games, Concrete Jungle

[@-Infex-]

Haven't even really seen the game being played, but I still want a super hard difficulty where, while solving murders, you attempt to be a serial killer and get away with it

[@ker0356]

Thick skinned difficulty

[@ObsidianGloria]

I like that you COULD play as a detective or just essentially be a burglar, if you wanted.

[@loblegonst]

Im so happy you found this! No one else has checked it out. I've been having an absolute blast so far!

[@bigkuriboh3814]

You're kidding right? It's getting loads of lets plays and reviews etc, most posted or streamed earlier than this video 😆

[@fabulousflufferbum2051]

I wonder if people age if they pass their birthday during the game

[@jinx8624]

hopefully

[@grulice]

City finishes generating at 8:16

[@tvdg93]

15 minutes in and decided to buy the game. Thanks for showing it Dan

[@SupaWaluigi]

So this is a game made for me, and also a game clearly made by absolute wizards!!

[@monkeydoespride]

Well im fucking sold

@12:00 - Do **NOT** like that telephone ring. It's exactly the pattern of my building's fire alarm. :/

[@toooldfortwowheels2048]

This game is absolutely incredible.

[@ChristophFloat]

Dan, I really love how you present games, love your videos and your sense of humour. But could you maybe acquire a louder keyboard and mouse? I think that would really add to the experience.

[@errantalgae]

tried this game, on a large map with a i5-6400 ran at 1080 at 30, sadly refunded it because my brain archives information in an odd way and I just end up doing theft

[@jinx8624]

lmao

[@jackshort2983]

I need this game dev tech to be used for developing an immersive sim asap

[@Jackonefivenine]

I have never laughed as much as I have at the home decor fiasco

[@thecountbassy_]

This game is prime for a Blade Runner mod, just swap suspected murderers for suspected Replicants.

[@jackdriffill2394]

Daniel is the worst detective ever, my murder would absolutely not be sold

[@katejones8705]

How did Steam not tell me about this?? Bought it immediately!

[@jinx8624]

they told me many times but i just ignored it didn't look that interesting

[@jinx8624]

this is one of the most impressive and imersive games ive ever seen thanks for bringing it to my attention

[@CyarSkirata]

I don't think I'll be buying this for awhile, but only because I don't think my PC would be able to handle it.

[@loblegonst]

Dan dying at 2:17:50

[@SpeedBladeGaming]

My pc has a RTX 4090 and a Intel Core i9-13900KS and the game runs great. But for people who don’t have a good pc a i5 and a GTX 1660 can probably run this game.

[@HelFrostKara]

01:16:39 "I'm not climbing 8 flights of stairs" and you couldn't pay me enough to get in that damn elevator 🤣Old, rickety and cramped elevator. No thanks lol This game does seem neat but I don't care much for procedurally generated stuff and if Dan's PC is struggling, I have no idea how mine will handle it.

[@bigkuriboh3814]

I pay on my laptop which isn't too great and it runs well, I think some of the jankines you see is actually optimisation issues with the game itself.

[@spongerobert]

@@bigkuriboh3814 it runs like absolute garbage on my laptop which is a 10th gen i3 and that's what I would call a "isn't too great" laptop

[@bigkuriboh3814]

@Robert Kirsten I bought my gaming laptop at about £1,500 around 8 years ago, and yes, the game is a bit janky in places, but this is due to game optimisation. This is not a massively demanding game.

[@TresTrefusis]

"X has resubscribed for a 102 months... that's almost a year!" oh Nerd3ed... that's not almost a year XD that's eight and a half years lol. only 12 months in a year. This game is indeed amazing. I want more slice of life stuff when they get the bugs that are currently present ironed out. I want to be able to make friends, maybe even have relationships, get married... I love just living in this city. I also love how this is a Cyberpunk city in it's natal stages before the tech gets super crazy. Really cool take on the genre. Maybe we could call it Noir-Punk XD.

[@jordongee2347]

Man, this looks pretty fun, i just cant get behind the social credit and binary mentality. I'll pass on this one.
