Lindsay picked up an NES controller for the first time at the age of 6 and instantly fell in love. She began reviewing GBA games 20 years ago and quickly branched out from her Nintendo comfort zone.

I don’t have the opportunity to write about forensic games nearly enough, because there’s not nearly enough out there. But finally, I can! In a place where 5% of murders go unsolved, someone’s got to try and solve them. That’s the main goal in Tokyo Psychodemic, a 2D x cinematic…
