Keep in mind that this is aimed for younger audiences. I did not enjoy the writing, but I am probably not in the age range. Going to recommend it since it is priced right and it fills a void in a genre that does not have enough to choose from. I was distracted by the juvenile writing, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it was unbearable. Just be prepared for it.

A classic example of a great game but terrible ending. The ending was horrible. But I do want a sequel. Sadly we won't get one If they add an option for a new ending then it might work.

I'm always interested in defective concept, its really exciting to find the killer. Beside my feelings about detectife games, this game like a playable book. Most of the time you just read the things and you decide what to do and it seems the choises you make have some consequences. If you really interested in detectife games, I'd advice you.

It's a detective game with beautiful details where your choices give different results, even at a minimal level. There is no sound in the game, in fact the title of a visual novel would be appropriate for this game. I think they conveyed the emotions and thoughts of the characters very well despite the lack of sound. It is a beautiful and interesting game. I can recommend it for those who love this genre

The story was captivating, and the characters were intriguing, particularly the two detectives. I enjoyed the dialogues. Although there were a few typos in the text, they didn't affect the overall meaning. Also, I appreciated the artwork and the setting.

Terrible, annoying characters. None of these characters have any depth so you can't really tell who would actually commit this murder. Absolutely awful and often cringe worthy lines Grammitical errors everywhere. "Where where you..." "N,o... For example. The art style looks like the artist just started practicing character design two years ago.

Well, there seems to be a lot of morons and trolls reviewing the game who hate visual novels. I am not one of them. I love visual novels. But, as a visual novel enthusiast I am still telling you this piece of crap isn't worth the 4 hours I spent on it. It's so bad I want my 99 cents back. The "twist" is so stupid that I legit thought that I got a joke ending. When I found out that the "joke" ending was in fact the true ending, I was pretty annoyed. If you are curious, the twist is actually that [spoiler]The killer is Rosenthal's twin brother who was never introduced into the story until after you confront everyone. Yes... they introduce a NEW character in the last two minutes and he is the culprit.[/spoiler] It breaks the most basic, fundamental rule of writing a freaking murder mystery in the first place. The worst offense however is the fact that in it's vndb (visual novel database) summary it dared to compare itself to Umineko... UMINEKO. Widely considered to be one of the best VN's of all time... so of course, I go in thinking "This guy has good taste..." I was very, very wrong.
