GAME OF THE DAY - The Detail is a dark and mysterious point-and-clicker

Another day has dawned, so it's time for us to select another brilliant mobile game that we think you should try out. You'll find a new game of the day going live every week day here at Pocket Gamer, so make sure you bookmark out game of the day hub to ensure you're always the first to find out when we make a new recommendation.

This time round we're taking things down a notch - rather than an action game, we've got a wonderful adventure game for you to try out - The Detail. Slow-paced games work just as well as fast-paced ones on touchscreen devices, and this one is as thought-provoking as they come.

Make sure you let us know what you think of our suggestion in the comments at the bottom of the article - we'd love to hear about your experiences if you've already played The Detail, so do make sure you tell us.

The Detail

This is a game about solving crimes - we're talking rain-soaked streets, long trench coats, and plenty of clues to discover. If the puzzles in traditional adventure games have put you off, then don't worry too much - there's a more natural logic to proceedings here that a lot of people are going to enjoy.

You play as multiple characters throughout the different episodes, unravelling more of the gripping tale with each second you play. You'll get to know and love the people in The Detail, despite their flaws, and that makes for a gripping narrative.

When we reviewed The Detail we called it "a dark and grimy adventure with some real tension," adding that it "might not have any tricky puzzles, but its story will pull you through" and giving it a Silver Award. You can click here to read our The Detail review in its entirety.
