Really enjoyed Death by Design! Was it written by an amateur author?? It honestly felt very professional!

The 1930s New York setting is great, with lots of period details and references to the technology of the time that make it feel believable and immersive. The mystery has a clever setup and I loved how the title Death by Design ends up fitting the plot so well. It was so clever!

The noir writing is especially good—atmospheric without overdoing it and a pleasure to follow throughout the investigation. I watched the second stream live and later caught up with the third and final stream and it was fun seeing different approaches to the case by everyone in the chat.

The solution was satisfying and felt earned, tying everything together nicely. Overall, a really enjoyable mystery! Congratulations to the author and to Jesse for having beed able to add such a clever game to the system.
