fast paced action." It added "The free weekly downloads are great...if you enjoy the game, but don’t want to pay anything for it" and "if you don’t mind paying, the previous volumes are archived in the game so you can catch up if you want to." Praising the writing, the site said "The storylines are incredible. With each new volume, you can never quite predict what is going to happen next. There is some clever writing in this game, and in spite of the serious nature of the crimes, there is also a lot of humor throughout." It also praised the quality of character development by writing "The characters in Cause of Death have been created very carefully. Each has their own backstory, which is slowly revealed during game play, but it isn’t invasive enough to interfere with the murder mystery aspect. Most of the time it is quite subtle". Negative aspects included no alert when new episodes are released, in-game ads, and occasional download problems. It concluded that "[the game is] very easy to play", "there is excellent replay value", and "It is probably best to avoid it if you are easily scared".
