Short but really fun, detective visual novel. Well constructed mystery that never got boring despite its limited mechanisms. Had to think a little about the last option so that's a win in my book.

I was drawn to the style of this game right away but other than the aesthetics, I admittedly was not expecting much from it. What a truly pleasant little surprise this game was! I really enjoyed the writing of this game. Characters felt alive and I felt myself trying to constantly guess who was responsible for the mysteries in the story. Simple interlude conversations with the taxi drivers felt rich, despite the fact that they were meant to be short transition scenes in the narrative. There's charisma and charm in the presentation and execution of this game. It's short but I don't hate that. I like games that feel complete and I actually oppose bloated experiences that feel like it's overstaying their welcome or simply prolonging my time spent in one world. While it may seem too short to purchase full price (although I think that it's fine given the quality of the experience), you should definitely pick it up on sale if you're interested in a stylistic, strong noir narrative experience.
