What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise this mystery visual novel for its engaging writing, well-developed characters, and intriguing plot that keeps the culprit's identity genuinely ambiguous until the end. The gameplay mechanics of collecting evidence and questioning suspects work well, and many appreciate the diverse character representation and thoughtful social commentary woven into the story. However, some players report significant technical issues including screen shake bugs and rendering problems that make the game unplayable, while others note the lack of voice-overs and occasionally too-casual character dia
A short well-written mystery visual novel. In a futuristic world, Emily, a young ex-college student gets into a self-driving taxi to get to her new job interview, unfortunately, the car hits who was riding a bike. Emily and three other passengers tried to find a clue how did this happen, to her surprise, the man who died was her late boss who fired her. Can she convince the others that she isn't the one who caused the accident? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826976232 The gameplay was really nice, I liked the questioning and collecting of evidence, the only thing the game lacks is voice-overs, it'd have been more fun. The soundtracks are nice as well as the artwork. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826977069 The characters are interesting, the more you question them, the more you learn about their real personality, I honestly didn't know who did it until the end of the game, I kept on jumping with accusations. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826976355 Pros: +Interesting story. +Interesting Characters. +Good soundtracks. +Manual save. Cons: -Short game. -No Steam achievements. I recommend this game to V…23 found this helpful
It has a really disturbing "screen shake" bug and after the "crash" there's nothing appears on the screen. Only speech baloons and that's it. I really wanted to play this game. I hope developers fix this. But sadly, for now it's totally unplayable (at least for me)...6 found this helpful
A cute pseudo-mystery visual novel about a murder where even the CAR is the suspect. I say pseudo-mystery because, other than two "decryption" sections, there really isn't much to solve other than to keep clicking everything and talking to everyone, linear except when you decide whether to turn in the guilty party. Definitely recommend if you love visual novels!1 found this helpful
What a neat, charming little story. I would say it's more of a visual novel than anything, but the writing is on point. The characters are unique and diverse, and the story is well paced, if a little cliche at times.
This game was cute! I legit didn't know who did it until the end and I loved that each of the characters had really sound reasons to commit the crime. It kept me on my toes the entire time, which was fun. The game is really diverse--with sound representation of BIPOC, women, queer, and low-income folks, which was wonderful. I also LOVED that the game made social commentary around policing and subtly offered alternatives to incarceration, which I had never experienced in a murder mystery before. As far as critiques, I did feel that the characters' tone was a little too casual sometimes given the high stakes situation they were in. That said, it was nice that the conversation wasn't all business and that the group of strangers did become a fun little family by the end. Sound game all around, would definitely recommend!
A great whodunnit game with enough difficulty and humor to keep things interesting throughout. The dialogue is great, the characters are fantastic, and it was overall a fun experience!
