Review: Missing (2023)
Trust and it won't disappoint.
I think that every family that consists of a few armchair detectives has, at one point or another over the past half-decade, gathered around the dining room table with one of those ‘true crime/solve the mystery/pretend to be a homicide detective/stock footage victim’ board games. They’re fun, sure, and a guarantee that you can only play it once because now you know the killer/kidnapper/stock footage suspect.
I try not to be a party pooper when these appear in front of me, but I have one major issue with these games (the mobile version(s) of these games commit the same crime) and that is: you don’t really know what the game wants from you. You spend so much time looking through the victim’s phone when you should have been paying attention to the typo on the restaurant’s menu. I understand that this means I could never be a detective, but I never wanted to be one. I just wanted to eat the deviled eggs that my aunt made.
