A Case of Fraud has sort of come out of nowhere for me: I’ve made a habit of the somewhat fruitless task of scrolling through the ‘popular upcoming releases’ on Steam once a week; typically the only games which show up that I’d be interested in reviewing are ones that I was already aware of, but occasionally something appears that catches my eye. With A Case of Fraud, that was the very “Roottrees are Dead”-like screenshot that occupies the first slot on its Steam page.

For better or worse, it was only once the many many positive Steam reviews started coming in that I really sat up and paid attention to A Case of Fraud and gave it the chance it deserved.
