Interesting plot, good writing, fantastic flowchart, and fun puzzles, especially the genetics ones. Make sure your expectations are in the right place--it's a short, cheap visual novel--but it's great for what it is and certainly worth the $5. The developers clearly cared about what they were making, and sometimes it's nice to get a quick fix of sci-fi murder mystery without it needing to be an overwhelming commitment (I got all endings in one sitting).

If you're a fan of Uchikoshi works such like Infinity Saga and Zero Escape Trilogy, I recommend you totally this game. It was short, but enjoyable in the end. I was expecting some mysteries (readed too much Uchikoshi's novels) already, but there are others which was unexpected to me. Is worth to play!

In the spirit of games like Zero Escape, it's a short and sweet puzzle-solving experience. Definitely worth picking up if you are a fan of that sort of game. :)

I'm going to give this a thumbs up because I believe there's significant potential, but there's also plenty of room for improvement. The puzzles were well designed, with varying levels of difficulty, making them both challenging and manageable. The story is simple yet effective, lacking numerous plot twists—only one or two, which I found acceptable for a short game. However, my primary concern with this game lies in the bittersweet aftertaste it left. Don't get me wrong; I did enjoy it. Nevertheless, I can't help but wish the developer had invested more in expanding the game's content. Additional puzzles, increased opportunities for exploration, and choices with consequences that shape the outcome of the situation could have elevated the overall experience.

As a massive Zero Escape fan, I heard about this game back when it first came out and knew I needed to play it. It really is a love letter to the genre, and very cleverly done! There's parts of it where I could clearly see the inspiration from other similar games and it was a lot of fun. The use of the actual technology for a plot purpose was also really well done. I will say, I guessed the big twist, but I was really glad to guess it, pretty far into the story. It's so satisfying to have a theory and to have it confirmed. It definitely isn't as polished as a big name game - I started out with the "true" end accidentally and so it didn't feel as much of a proper end when I got the other endings, because I'd already seen the important parts of the story. Having some story locks would be helpful, I feel. And just some additional padding at the end of a route to make it feel more concrete because each ending felt like it ended rather abruptly. But for an indie game, and one that's clearly a passion project, great job! I really enjoyed it, and I hope you keep making games in the future :)
