A few hours later in the day of The Egocentric by Ola Hansson

I like the title. It sets up a pretty consistent structure, in that there’ll be an “a few hours later” transition happening every now and then. The “Egocentric” (capitalized) is likely the main character, although based on the blurb, he is not the player character, in a Sherlock Holmes-and-Watson relationship with the audience. However, unlike Sherlock Holmes, the Watson in this game is not the Egocentric’s accomplice, but instead his adversary.
I’m not entirely sure what the game is satirizing. Possibly comics, or the police system. It’s unclear. I’m not a huge fan of puzzles in choice-based games, but I can see it working pretty well as a detective-cop thing.
TLDR: Wats(going)on
