The controls do not stand up to modern standards, but the gameplay is simple and feels thematic.

Nostalgia from some of my earliest PC gaming years. Sid's games were an awesome introduction to my early PC gaming experience.
Please please please do a modern retake on this. I love this and seeing it in an updated skin would be absolutely amazing.
This game is super old and hard to use. Controls are difficult. Seems to run reasonably well though, so if you used to play this game back in the day it will probably work well, but if you've never played before, don't bother with this one.
I changed my thumbs-down review to thumbs up after spending some time in the game manual (and then writing a guide for dummies like me to figure out where to find the game manual).

The manual is... well it's all images for one thing. I.e. it hasn't been transcribed into text - the PDF is all image data of a scanned manual apparently. That means if you want text-to-speech for reading it out loud you're out of luck. But otherwise it's fine.
If you like the puzzles in Zachtronics games, this will probably scratch the same itch.
The game is a bit clunky with the UI as it is, but also provides game-play that is very entertaining and challenging. I love the wiretap and car-tracking puzzles! I have also managed to be taken prisoner and later escaped. There are little rewards of new bits of information to hopefully help you succeed on your mission of bringing criminals to justice. The crypto puzzles are a lot of fun converting gibberish into text. All of these are rather challenging - if puzzles aren't your thing this game won't be for you.
You're choosing which locations and what tools to use to "gather" (which is a nice way of saying "wiretap" or "break-in" or "observe") information to figure out who the criminals are, where they are, and what they have done.
I like it. Yes it is old as my original review says, but there is fun to be had here.
