Death At The Dive Bar Review
If this is your first game of this sort, there's a good chance that's the first thing you said. There's a ton of stuff in the box. Physical props, flyers, a beer mat, police reports, CCTV stills, and a bag with a code on it.
Oooooooh, mysterious!
The Shores Of Tripoli Review

Or is it actually okay?
Obsession Review
Let me guess. You found your way here because you're board-game-curious and heard that Obsession has a Pride and Prejudice / Jane Austen vibe. How am I doing so far?
