I am gonna say I didn't expect this game to bounce back once again in steam and leave a pretty much better experience after the latest update. Kudos to dev for making such a beautiful game. Thank you for fixing the achievement which is easy to achieve. The story build is phenomenal and story pace is good too, neither too fast nor too slow. The choice of justice or vengence and virtue or depravity is something new for me and I quite enjoyed it. I have a lot of expectations from this dev and I am definitely gonna recommend this game to each and everyone who plays games of this genre.

One of the better games available. Interesting and compelling story. Good characters and good artwork, much better dialog than most of this genre. Looking forward to seeing how they develop this.

Part One as its called died a long time ago, then someone else took up the reins, and ended part one, Part two is another purchase. I was kind of annoyed when this game died, but then to find out if I want to keep following the story I have to keep on paying per episode. Not for me, this is now being filed under dead and buried. enough is enough.

This was really absorbing/ engaging. The characters have a hint of depth. The non-lewd animations were really good. The soundtrack really set the tone well. I liked the whole gritty PI vibe. I liked that it felt like I had agency in the character make-up. I'm really hoping for part 2, but I know it is going to be a while.
