The Roottrees Aren't Dead, But This CEO Might Be | A Case of Fraud

A review of A Case of Fraud. Do I have to put a disclaimer here to say that IndieLoupe don't endorse killing CEOs? We don't. It's illegal and bad. Also, apologies for the number of references to _The Roottrees are Dead_, but it's a little difficult to talk about this one without also talking about Roottrees. Both great games though.
