Murders on the Yangtze River also had some “coop deductions,” riffing on The Great Ace Attorney. The end was a touch preachy (going as far as putting words from a historical speech in the mouth of the main protagonist), but it was definitely a good game with beautiful backgrounds. * * * > [@Free game of the day](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/free-game-of-the-day/2728/673): > > Another one from Daedalic’s catalogue of post-traditional P&C adventures, with my one-word verdict [here](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/the-2018-what-are-we-playing-thread/2236/446). Thinking back, I guess I liked the story and graphics style, though I don’t think there’s much in the way of puzzles (although I dimly remember that some of them required some thought). For free, I fully recommend it, though. On a similar note, yesterday I finished [the new Shinrai game]([SHINRAI Saku - Blooming Beyond Despair by GosatsuVNs](https://gosatsuvns.itch.io/saku)), over the course of two partial days. This one was 100% visual novel, just a single choice, no deductions. But it was decent as an epilogue to the first game. In any event here’s also a reminder that [GENBA no Kizuna](https://gosatsuvns.itch.io/genba) is a good game. 😉 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/the-2026-what-are-we-playing-thread/5795)._
