wow, i can't believe i'm the first review! this game sucks you into its world completely. i LOVE the art style. you have to pay attention to EVERY word the people say in their statements! i had mixed reactions throughout finding the contradictions: "yes! i knew it immediately!", "oh wow, i really had to think about that one!", "what..? i mean, i guess...", "okay, i have to try every single option in order because i have no idea" overall, the interrogations were satisfying and fulfilling. i think if you like investigator-type games, you will enjoy this. it's a new take, which is hard to find these days! i would say it is overpriced for the playtime and lack of replay value. you could theoretically finish the game very quickly if you are good at nitpicking details and statements. at time of writing, i have not completed the game. (trying to avoid spoilers!!) i am stuck on the last contradiction on the phone call. :( obviously, there is no walkthrough guide yet since the game is new, and it is quite impossible to brute force it, so that feels bad. i wish there was a hint function or even a discord server, but that's just me. anyway, good game, i liked it, i hope to be able to fi…3 found this helpful
Nice detective game with unnerving atmosphere
