I LOVE PROBLEM SLEUTH!! Some of the art is really just gorgeous, and the play with mechanics and user suggestions is so fun! This thread is for Problem Sleuth appreciation, discussion, and general fondly regarding.
enter my strange and beautiful realm!
Problem Sleuth is genuinely one of the best written works that I've ever read. The way that concepts get twisted around and played with is so cool!

It finished without any major hiatus. Its art is consistent and well-executed. It is responsible for the carapacians in Homestuck, which are cool if overlooked.
In conclusion, it is a very good webcomic.
Obviously, Problem Sleuth is peak. Hell, I think the titular character has evolved into something of a Blorbo for me. I don't know if people even use that term outside Tumblr and maybe Twitter. He's The Character. That one fictional guy you obsess over. I think his cameo in the Beyond Canon bonus pages gave me enough psychological depth to latch onto and completely flanderize him in my brain and make him like a deltarune secret boss or make her transfem or whatever else pops into my mind as something vaguely feasible.
aw thanks yall <3

Don't forget...

I am reading it right now. Legit amazing work, that I think is underrated, because many know about it but didn't read it
I love the game stats system. Vim, imagination and pulchritude - and it actually WORKS.

problem sleuth is so fantastic! i own the physical books and a lot of my favorite problem sleuth memories are actually of reading them - it's such a perfect comic to read casually in bits and pieces on car rides or just out and about, and even though they get rid of the animation print is a fantastic medium for it because of that. if more homestuck print books weren't already a pipe dream i'd definitely be hoping for a PS reprint!

i love problem sleuth so much. It manages to go from somewhat normal to completely absurd in such a smooth way, and it genuinely got me to feel the same way I do playing a normal video game. impressive
problem sleuth will forever be dear to me not only because it’s peas but because the wider intermission/ps scene was the first fandom i ever got truly deeply invested in as a wee teen back in 2016. the fandom took an extremely small part of homestuck and spun it through headcanons and fanon to become basically its own self-contained world and i think that’s genuinely super awesome and cool. ssps for life
