Unsatisfying, short, and left me wanting more1 found this helpful
Not very long, but a good roster of well-crafted mysteries. The timeline system is very unique, and I appreciate that there are multiple ways to reach the right answer.
A very short game, would recommend buying on sale. Otherwise it has interesting mechanics, a unique art style and some interesting workbuilding/writing. Would recommend.
This is a fun, though *very short* game. A mix of far-future technology, faith, and mystery, which definitely whetted my appetite for more. . . but the game consists of being walked through the starter case, and two more cases, and then *it's done*. Definitely catch this marked down on Steam sale; the art is delightful, and I enjoyed the world-building and voice acting. But so, so short. :P
I personally really enjoyed my time with this game. I had a very good time with the deduction sections of the game, and I could overlook most of the rough edges that made themselves known in gameplay (audio issues, primarily). I thought that the story and general aesthetic was fascinating, but it wraps itself up very quickly. I'm sure there was some sort of rushed deadline, unfortunately. That being said, I can't say I would recommend the game at full price, and I really don't often think that. But for the runtime being so short, $20 is a hard pill to swallow. I was gifted this game while it was only $3, and while it was a very fun gameplay loop, it's abrupt end left it on a sour not. I really do like this game, don't get me wrong, but I would've been extremely disappointed to have paid for it at full price for what I got.
It just goes on and on and on. There's no straightforward way to get to the bottom of these little detective moments, and the pacing is just so... so.. slow.
