Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories

Scully and Moulder

So while playing Spirit of Justice this other game was released which focused more on the investigation side... no, not Ace Investigation 2 with Miles Edgeworth (even though that would have been the best), but rather Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories. Two detectives investigating unsolved cases, a grizzled and lazy chief-detective and his female and energetic assistant. Together they try to solve the case of an hospital explosion that left one victim. Behind the facade of the hospital hides a story of hacker groups, corrupt hospitals and children dying for unknown reasons. The explosion was said to be caused by an accident, but just like in Ace Attorney... or any other murder mystery, an accident is actually always murder.

And I solved it after approximately 1 hour. That's not solving the first case, that was solving the whole game (consisting of 1 case, but still). Talk about shocking discovery after spending 40 hours on Phoenix Wright and finish a game after 1 hour. And it ends on a cliffhanger as well. Not that the story or characters are bad, I quite enjoyed it and I really enjoyed trying to figure it out... but it's so short and I've actually have more questions than answers. And if there ever will be a follow up sequel, do I have  to replay this game in order to get whats happening? And since this was released only a few weeks ago (as of writing), how long do I have to wait to get the full story?

For a short burst of investigation it works fine, but don't expect a long game as I did since that really backfires. Maybe buy it on a sale or something.
