This is a fashion-themed, murder mystery HOG. The graphics and music are nice and the story is fairly interesting. Basically, you investigate the friends/lovers/colleagues of a murdered woman to determine who killed her. During the course of your investigation, you earn cash to buy "outfits" that give you certain advantages in the investigation: complete one outfit and you get night vision goggles; complete another and you get intuition, which increases the power of the hint system, and so on. You can choose either timed or untimed mode - I played untimed.
The HOG portion uses either a list of items to find or silhouettes of the items and mixes it up with a spot-the-differences game. Both are fairly easy - you won't be straining your eyes much to locate the items or the differences. I enjoyed the demo but I don't know how much replay value it has since it doesn't look like there is any random placement of items when you return to scenes you've previously investigated. With some HOGs, the graphics or music or story alone would wow me enough to want to buy the game even though I know I would be looking for the same items in the same spots but this game, though a pleasant diversion just doesn't grab me.
