This game was interesting and I can’t wait to see the full version.
Gameplay: Dink the privet detective is called in to investigate a murder, this Dmod was very well thought out and interesting. The game design could also lead to, what I have wanted to see forever, Dink Dmod Adventure Games.

Graphics: A few new graphics, very well set out, should be even better when the full version is out.

Music: None in game, but the game itself makes up for that, hopefully music in full version though

Final Thoughts: Great game, can’t wait for full version. It introduces a very good idea into Dmod creation, it is original and fun..
Good: The idea and the execution
Bad: No music, lets hope this will be rectified in the full version.

This demo dmod is about the murder of Mrs. Scarlet. Mr Scarlet called Dink Smallwood to solve the mystery. The story takes place at their house, which you can explore to look for clues. Unfortunatly, all you can find is a note from Ark, that asks mrs scarlet to meet him...

Graphics: only a couple of new tiles, and a customised titlescreen, the rest aren't new graphics. The map is also very small and it doesn't seem logic actually.
Music: The music was allright, not bad, not super neither
gameplay: pretty bad, since the story gets stuck, no more clues can be found, so there actually isn't much there, except the intro to the story... It's a good idea to make dink a detective instead of a hero or something, it would be possible to make a good dmod with this story.
overall: for the good ideas and the effort

This game is all right to download to keep you entertained for some time (not long though)

Storyline: Dink has to solve the murder of Mrs. Scarlet.

Map and graphics: The map is real small, just a house, but that fits the situation. There are some new tiles: some house tiles and stairs. The stairs going up look good, but going down look weird.

Music: The music suits the situation.

Good: The idea is real good: Dink as a detective, searching for clues.

Not so good: There is no progress. This is a demo, but I still felt that the lack of progress was a real let-down. You can ask people all kind of questions and investigate the house, but that is it.

Overall: Nice idea, but alas, no progress, not even a hint what is about to come.

Fit for: I would not recommend this one.
