"The game is fine but the lack of divergent paths hinders it`s ability to scratch the itch for an actual unique mystery."

"A real mystery. The guys are really annoying but they`re still managable. But what`s not manageable? Alcohol. The murderer changes everytime. (Sorry, The gal with the PTSD. I was just really sure it was you)."

"This is a detective story where you are investigating a mass grave of young women that were murdered. The writing is decent but this story was different in the way that it functioned. There were no stats and the different endings seemed random. I suspect the investigation itself has little to no bearing on the actual ending. Essentially the ending is randomized. I enjoyed the dark storyline with a classic whodunnit plot. This story has a lot of content in it that lends well to replayability."

"It`s been a while since I read a story where I was engaged enough to be fearful of failing. All the characters have secrets that you must work to uncover, and your suspicions can change from one moment to the next. Even if you take the game aspects out, it`s still a damn good detective story."

"Useless ass of a game. The story is very interesting. But the game is a dead game. No clues. And just random endings. You basically play the game over and over and be surprised of a different ending every time. Ass game and ass author."

"Easy read-thru & I enjoy being able to ``create`` a story through a choose-your-own-adventure. Highly recommend! I can`t wait to read through it again to get a different killer!"

"So much potential but the writing is so lazy. 1) No, you can`t choose to play as male or female. 2) Even if you never drink your whiskey, the game will treat you as if you drink all the time. 3) Random killer with no hints beforehand. This game gives you little choice and you can`t guess the killer based on the clues bcs the game doesn`t work that way. A bad CYOA game."

"Now THIS is a freaking proper story. COG has been too focused pushing forth a political agenda that they`ve forgotten why people go for their games in the first place. It`s for this one right here. I spent the night with my feet clenched for the twists and turns and with my brows furrowed as I just cant filter out the red herrings from the real clues. I somehow got a lucky hit tho and apprehended the right mofo at the end. Very satisfying. lol Tnx for the ride & tnx for not being like like THEM."

"The concept of this story is incredibly interesting but it`s very hard to get into it when the character that`s supposed to be a representation of yourself is such an a**hole. It makes it feel much less tailored to the individual when nearly every response option is some variation of being a jerk to people. But if that`s your playstyle you might well love this book."

DESCRIPTION
A millionaire’s secluded estate. A collection of dead girls. A group of reluctant strangers. One is the killer ...but who? You need more than your badge and gun to catch the killer. Only a sharp mind and the right questions will uncover this mystery.
``Scratch`` is a 165,000 word interactive murder mystery by Cloud Buchholz, where your choices control the story. It`s entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
You’re a small town detective. An anonymous tip leads you to a collection of sadistically murdered girls dumped on the forest estate of an eccentric, reclusive millionaire. A group of strangers are holed up in his dilapidated cabin, waiting out the recent storm.
They seem unaware of the murders, but the serial killer is hidden among them. You need to interrogate the suspects, gather clues, and stop the killer, but if you don’t tread carefully, more innocent people will die.
• Play as male or female
• Interrogate seven potential suspects and discover their sordid pasts
• Gather clues from your conversations to root out the killer
• Succumb to your alcohol addiction or fight withdrawals
• Recall cases from your past and the cruel life lessons from your Pa
• Seventeen unique endings
