Reviews

“A delightful whodunnit about refusing to accept the easy answer in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.”


“While the game is unquestionably borrowing wholesale from [Ace Attorney], it does it so well that you cannot possibly complain. Capcom should immediately give developer Eggcorn Games jobs.”

About This Game


Only you can solve the mystery of Base 24. Comb a government base for evidence, catch suspects in their lies, and unravel the truth, no matter how ridiculous it may be!

Enter the comedic and mysterious world of Boomtown USA, a small desert town with big secrets, and help washed-up police sheriff Miranda Warren solve cases linked to the crime that destroyed her reputation. Investigate every nook and cranny of the crime scene. Even if something's not relevant to the case, your assistant will probably have something to say about it! Use Persuasion to exploit different facets of a witness' psychology to get them to open up to you! Ask questions, push suspects, and present evidence to uncover the truth during Interrogations.

Case 1: Occult Crime Police

Seven years ago, a missing persons case destroyed the reputation of Sheriff Miranda Warren. Now, a murder case at the same mysterious government base offers her a chance at redemption. But to reach it, she’ll have to deal with a condescending FBI Agent, a suspect who keeps lying to prove his own guilt, and whatever the hell a “Thought Influencer” is.

Case 2: Medium at Large

Boomtown, USA is visited by a spirit medium who claims to be able to solve the case which ruined Sheriff Miranda Warren's life seven years ago. Everyone in town has a reason to be upset about the upcoming seance, but could someone be upset enough... to kill?
